South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)

 Nope I'd never seen this, my 'South Park' phase was 2002 - 2004. It's interesting to note in the films 25th anniversary year that 'South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut' was originally intended as a series wrap up, however the shows now been on the air for about 28 years. Very much a product of its time, how to evaluate this? I enjoyed the hutzpa of making this a musical, a foul mouthed musical; I enjoyed even more how well it works as a musical, even Stephen Sondheim acknowledged this. At just shy of 90 minutes it's the perfect length not to outstay it's welcome, and it really brought me back to a more juvenile mindset. Frankly, I enjoyed the break. ***
