In the name of saving the children from obscene language, the parents of the South Park kids go to all extremes—including censorship, mind-controlling implants, executions, and finally war on Canada. ... 'While censorship is the filmmakers' main target, Parker and Stone also poo-poo Hollywood elitism, jingoism, racism, homophobia, Winona Ryder, Bill Gates and Conan O'Brien. ... It's all in good dirty fun and in service of their pro-tolerance theme.' –Washington Post

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)
    by Jon Osborne, Miss Liberty's Guide to Film and Video, 2001
Libertarian content: 4 (out of 5). Entertainment value: above average
From beginning to end this film is a rebellion. It's a rebellion against governmental constraints on artistic freedom. It's a rebellion against the Motion Picture Association of America rating system (G, PG, R, etc.). And above all it's a rebellion against the whole idea that people should constantly be looking for someone else to blame for their own and their children's behavior.
