Better than Orgazmo, worse than BASEketball, and not even in the same league as South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.
There’s been a lot of static tossed over what Trey Parker and Matt Stone really think, what point they’re trying to get across:are they libertarians, republicans, anarchists? If I had to guess I’d pick the former. They obviously hate hippies – but who of my/our generation doesn’t? They just as obviously hate overly law and order types. Anarcho-libertarian would be my terminology.
The flick was funny in most of the right places, revolting in the right places and downright disturbing in several places. Naturally, it’s not to be viewed as political commentary although it makes many more astute points than anything the film’s lampooned lefties have ever produced. For instance, the lads don’t hesitate to show the usual parade of lefty loonies as actively fighting against America. Not merely loyally dissenting but actively campaigning for the other side; an important point. Also, America may come across as a smash-fisted bully but who else is there to keep the mad bombers at bay? It’s an ugly, unrewarding, nigh impossible job but someone’s got to do it. Like it or not, that’s us.
And Team America.
