Entertainment WeeklyLisa Schwarzbaum
Turns out to be the funniest, most risk-taking, most incisive movie of the summer. Read full review

Portland OregonianBarry Johnson
Parker jams South Park with so much comic "stuff" that the effect is dizzying, at least for those who haven't left the auditorium in a huff before the end. Read full review

TNT RoughCutChristopher Brandon
It's super!

SlateDavid Edelstein
This isn't just the most riotously inventive movie of the year, it's the raunch anthem of the age. Read full review

San Francisco ExaminerWesley Morris
It's a gas, dude! Read full review

Film.comErnest Hardy
Parker and Stone have created a movie that will doubtlessly infuriate and offend -- and amuse to no end.

VarietyDennis Harvey
Bigger, Longer & Uncut will make it harder still to dismiss, or kill, this cultural mini-phenom — not least because the feature is a more clever diversion than anyone had any right to expect. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJohn Anderson
So gleefully vulgar, so eagerly offensive, it's tough not to get down on all fours and beg for more. Read full review

Film.comRobert Horton
The kind of college movie people will be quoting for years.

The New York TimesStephen Holden
Very funny, extremely obscene movie spinoff from the popular animated Comedy Central series. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'Sullivan
Far filthier and a good bit funnier than Trey Parker and Matt Stone's sophomoric cable TV show ever dared to be. Read full review

TimeRichard Corliss
Here's another warning: you may laugh yourself sick--as sick as this ruthlessly funny movie is. Read full review

Village VoiceGary Dauphin
The ultimate truth, though, is that certain, probably arrested, personalities (like mine) just find this kind of shit pretty funny and any attempt to talk your way around that is, as Cartman would say, blowing bubbles out your ass. Read full review

The A.V. ClubKeith Phipps
When it's on its game, and it frequently is, South Park's portrayal of its foul-mouthed, pre-teen, construction-paper-like protagonists' navigation of the absurd adult world around them cuts as deeply as any other current comedy. Read full review

NewsweekDavid Ansen
Every bit as tasteless, irreverent, silly and smart as the Comedy Central cartoon that catapulted creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone into the Hollywood catbird seat. Read full review

Washington PostRita Kempley
Sharp, wildly funny social satire behind the profanity and potty jokes. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam Lacey
Undoubtedly the rudest and possibly the most inspired comedy of the summer. Read full review

ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
An agreeable, albeit uneven, experience. Parker should take note, however, that, in some things, size doesn't matter and bigger doesn't mean better. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
Nonstop crudeness, vulgarity and unpleasantness. It's without any redeeming social value whatsoever. And it's funny from beginning to end. Read full review

USA TodayMike Clark
This has to be the raunchiest full-length animated feature since Fritz the Cat, which got an X rating in 1971. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMarc Caro
The kind of movie that can get you simultaneously laughing and shaking your head at its audacity. Read full review

Dallas ObserverAndy Klein
Bigger, Longer & Uncut delivers: It's never less than funny, and at its best, it's truly hysterical. Read full review

Film.comLucy Mohl
Surely, there will be audiences that see South Park as one of the signs of the coming apocalypse, which may be exactly why another audience finds it so ruthlessly, irresistably funny.

SalonStephanie Zacharek
Beneath the veneer of fake dicks and fart jokes, it's really a righteous paean to saying whatever the hell you want. Read full review

Mr. ShowbizMichael Atkinson
In terms of raw wit and fearless satire, the South Park kids put Mike Myers and Adam Sandler to shame. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula Nechak
Ok, I admit at first I was just laughing at the sheer gutsiness of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. But after 10 minutes, I was laughing at the script. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
I laughed. I did not always feel proud of myself while I was laughing, however. Read full review

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
Inspired, self-referential animated musical. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
Brilliant, in its own twisted way. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorDavid Sterritt
Labors mightily to be as offensive and obnoxious as possible. It's inventive in an idiotic sort of way, though, and pauses occasionally to make serious points about movie violence and censorship. Read full review

Austin ChronicleSarah Hepola
Gross-out funny, over-the-top offensive, and just as amusing -- or idiotic -- as you find that Comedy Central sitcom. Read full review
