Hilarious!

This movie is great! It's probably okay to show your kid if they are at least 15. There's a lot of swearing, but at 15, your kid should know not to repeat those words. There are also moderate sexual references and Stan spends about 1/10 of the movie trying to find "the clitoris". Also, there is a scene where Kenny goes to heaven and we briefly see some angels's breasts, but other than that, it's fine.

Super Funny!

Very funny for kids if there mature and can handle these jokes

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (67 ):
Kids say (231 ):

This extremely outrageous and inappropriate movie might be animated, but it definitely isn't for kids. South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut triples down on the macabre humor and strong language of the original South Park TV show.

The movie has some sharp satire and genuine wit amid references to every kind of bodily function and singing sex organ. But any parent considering allowing a teen to see the movie should watch it first, as it's much more explicit than the TV series it's based on.
