When the movie starts, you actually think you’re gonna see a standard action movie. But it soon clears up it is everything you’d expect from the Trey Parker/Matt Stone duo. South Park fans, of course, already know the ingredients. Thought provoking, coarse and twisted humor and self mockery build in an already thought-out script, where a little bit of story, character interaction, drama mix together in a cinematic experience (which you might not expect from a puppet movie). They have tight control over your laughs, in all manners possible. The lyrically strong songs interspersing the exaggerated dramatic scenes. Movements of the puppets, expressions on their faces. It all works. In the end, you’re still left with the question what the exact message was, as both sides had their time to show the good and the bad characteristics.
Maybe the only bad thing is that after 7 years of South Park, getting new voice talents to do the lead characters isn’t such a bad idea.8-.
