The
story:
All
Hell Breaks Loose
If
you watch and like South Park (the series) then you'll know
what to expect from this. Imagine an extra long episode
with all the swearing bleeps taken out and some musical
numbers thrown in. Imagine these songs have names like 'Uncle
Fxxker' and 'Kyle's Mum's a Bitch (the old favourite). Sound
good? Well now go and order this DVD! If you don't like
the series then this probably isn't going to change things.
The characters are Cartman (the Homer Simpson of the series
- every moment he's onscreen he has you in stitches! respect
my authoritah!) is the fat vulgar one, Kenny is the orange
anorak wearing dude that dies every episode (you killed
Kenny...you bastards!) and Stan and Kyle are the other 2
that you always get mixed up. The story begins with the
guys sneaking into an R-rated Canadian movie called Asses
of Fire, starring Terrance and Philip. As Cartman puts it:
'The movie has warped my fragile little mind' and soon the
whole school has seen the film and are all swearing like
the foul-mouthed Canadian stars. Their parents are horrified
and declare war on Canada. Satan and Saddam Hussien however
have other plans...
The
summary:
The
whole film is basically set out in the style of a musical.
The songs are based mainly on songs from Disney films like
The Little Mermaid and most songs are excellent enough to
make you want to buy the soundtrack to this anyway. The
moment the Terrance and Philip film starts you know where
this is going. It's a laugh-a-minute fest of swearing, vulgarity
and political incorrectness. Exactly the same things in
fact that made the series such a hit. This time the leash
is off and the kids launch into a 4-letter frenzy - Around
499 swear words in this and most of them begin with 'F'.
If you're easily offended then this obviously isn't for
you. That also goes if you happen to be a sensitive Jew,
Black, Gay, Middle-Eastern Dictator etc. etc..
Brilliantly
done - it's a definite thumbs up from us. But as I mentioned
above - it's not going to be to everyone's taste. And definitely
not one for the kids. It's the film and soundtrack all rolled
into one. It's just a pity there isn't more supplementary
material on this DVD - a link to each song would have been
nice. A commentary would have been the icing on the cake.
