I dunno...

Nothing really stood out to me. A few top-tier jokes here and there, the ones already mentioned in this thread, but that’s about it. Honestly, kind of a letdown. I liked the all-night South Park marathon way better.

I didn't particularly care for it... most of it felt like a slog, and the only bright spots were those few brief moments where things actually got interesting.
Still, a couple of funny scenes aren't enough to salvage a mediocre experience.

Well, I’m going to have to respectfully disagree there... South Park is hands down the best thing to come out of the USA in the last decade. The humor is sharp, biting, and they never hold back—nobody is safe—PLUS, the writing for certain episodes is an absolute masterpiece...

As for the movie, sure, it has some great "SP style" jokes, but as a whole, it just doesn't work... the scenes feel totally disconnected, there’s zero coherent character development or plot progression, and the whole thing feels like a disorganized mess—honestly, the execution was pretty disappointing... so now I'm just counting down the days until season eight returns to
"Comedy Central"... just so I can wash out this bitter taste in my mouth.

Yeah, I feel the same way... the beginning was absolutely hilarious, but they dragged things out so much later on that it lost all momentum. Still, there were some good bits—they know how to joke around—but that kind of humor works much better in a quick sitcom episode rather than a full-length feature film.

I mostly felt bad for that group of kids who went to see it. 🙄 I promised myself that I'd *never* let my future kids see something unless I was 100% certain it was actually appropriate for them.

The scenes feel like they're just there for the sake of being there, you know? There isn't any real sense of plot progression or anything meaningful happening with the characters. Everything feels kind of messy and disjointed... honestly, the pacing and composition are just pretty bad.


I guess you could say the movie is basically just one big parody of all that typical Jerry Bruckheimer stuff and those other kinds of films, too. Maybe. 😉

I don't know, maybe it’s just me, but everything feels kind of cheesy... like it’s all just poorly put together. It's hard to tell, I guess. It just doesn't really flow right. 😉

I guess... I've been wondering about why they use lines like "Terrorize this!" or "I'm so cold" in the dialogue. Maybe there's some kind of reason behind it, I don't know. It just seems a bit specific, right? Just a thought, I guess.

The movie is basically just ninety minutes of constant satire... you know? It’s more like this subtle, slow-burn thing where it pokes fun at everything without being loud about it. It isn't one of those typical sitcoms that uses those annoying little cues to tell you exactly when you're supposed to laugh or when you should be feeling sad. It just sort of flows. I guess it's much more natural that way. 😉

which explains why everything feels so tacky—totally disjointed and poorly paced...😉

it's why you get lines like "Terrorize this!" or "I'm so cold"

the thing is a non-stop 90-minute satire where you're quietly smirking at the absurdity, rather than some standard sitcom that hits you over the head with cues telling you when to laugh or when to cry.😉

Preach!

I'm with you on this one.

When I watched it, there was a Japanese family sitting nearby. They walked out halfway through once they realized the movie wouldn't make sense without simple subtitles popping up every two seconds. 😁

There are a few decent jokes in here, but it’s honestly insulting how the creators lacked the guts or the brains to include any actual political commentary;

So, for anyone else who was hoping for something more substantial (myself included), let me just say:
this cartoon isn't some deep, politically charged critique of the new world order—it’s just watered-down, self-censored entertainment designed for patriotic Americans.

The cinematography is definitely above average

But honestly, that bloody vomiting scene felt like the longest single shot in cinematic history😂

Insane movie
😂

It’s basically South Park voices and concepts shoved into some innocent-looking puppet show format
😳

The swearing caught me off guard, and those explicit sex scenes—with puppets, for crying out loud!!

It’s like South Park voices and ideas wrapped up in an innocent little puppet show boomerang.

So, the sex scenes are what grabbed your attention!😁 😛

Just typical stuff, right?👋

Man, those smokers, right?👋

Clearly, I wasn't the only one who caught that.
😁

And the positions they were using... totally unexpected.

I wouldn't go that far... I mean, look at Monty Python's *The Meaning of Life*. I'm pretty sure that specific scene is in a league of its own and can't be topped.

Hasn't more movies been hitting the video rental stores lately?!

Yeah, I think it's been at least a month, maybe even longer.
