The latest film by Trey Parker and Matt Stone has to be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. The cynical way they capture the essence of different cultures and people is hilarious. I have to recommend this movie to anyone who wants to have a good laugh but leave the kids at home.

Although if you don't like the kind of humor you'd find in say... southpark or chappelle's show i'd say stay away from this one. If you're offended easily i'd also probably give this one a pass. You have to into this movie with an open head and just take what it says at face value. I believe Trey Parker and Matt Stone are not racists or homophobes. In fact, they're the opposite if you actually look at what the film was trying to accomplish. Well anyway, you all should really try to get to the movies (if it's still playing in theatres) and see it. If not, wait untill it comes out on VHS or DVD.

Since this is a family-friendly forum, you may want to consider changing your titile. Even with the asterisks, it's still obvious what word you're trying to portray, and it's one that many people here find objectionable.

Just a thought.

Sorry, I should've been more careful.

I agree with the above description of the movie. A lot of the South Park-style humor is evident. There were parts of the movie that I found stupid rather than funny, but there were just as many parts that I was crying with laughter.

My favorite part was the Terrorist Bar, which was directly themed off of the cantina scene in Star Wars, it even has the same music. I couldn't stop laughing.

And they used the instruments from the Star Wars MMO game in the band too -- that was pretty funny to me to see that.
