| This movie was very funny . . . at times. Other times, it just tried too hard to be controversial, gross, or anything to piss off somebody famous. But for the most part, I had a great time watching this flick. I wasn't expecting much, especially on the serious front, just to be entertained by puppets with a story from the people that do South Park, a show which I love. And I was entertained. Everything, from puppets blowing shit up, puppets having raunchy sex (makes me wonder what they took out to avoid a NC-17 rating - gotta wait for the DVD), Kim Jong Il being evil (hilarious), and the kickass songs that are thrown throughout the movie, had me laughing through most of the movie. I gotta say that some of the FX in the flick were kinda cool; I've never seen a puppet actually bleed before. And the sets, from Paris to Egypt, were very impressive. So it's not like the makers of this flick went into this thing half-assed or anything, they set out to make a funny, raunchy, and different kind of movie. They succeeded on several fronts. The funniest parts to the movie was, definitely, the sex scene, the songs of the flick, and Kim Jong Il and his accent. Other scenes were decently funny, but others were hit and miss. And at times, it just seemed like controversy was the main reason for doing a bit and I didn't think it was that funny. But overall, a damn funny, entertaining flick. 8/10 (**Note - this was my 1000th post - WOOHOO!!) |
