Movie Reviews of Cannibal! The Musical
Movie Review: my heart's as full as a baked potato
Summary: 5 Stars
Mild-mannered Alfred Packer (Parker) finds himself leading a small group through the mountains and ends up accused of cannibalism. The movie starts after his arrest and is told in flashbacks to the reporter (Toddy Walters) who'll do anything to get her story.
There are vicious trappers, Japanese Indians, and a bittersweet love story between Alfred Packer and Lianne. And in true musical fashion, the characters have a tendency to burst into song.
As you might guess from the presence of Parker & Stone, Cannibal the Musical is hysterically funny and cheerfully disgusting. Add several weird and catchy songs, and it's impossible to resist. Truly, it's a shpedoinkal movie.
Summary of Cannibal! The Musical
From the Makers of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, this is the musical that started it all! 3 Hours of bone chilling, flesh eating show-stopping hilarity! With vicious gore, laugh-inducing gags and rousing musical numbers such as "Snowman" and "Shpedoinkle Day," Cannibal! The Musical is the true story of the only person convicted of cannibalism in America - Alfred Packer. The sole survivor of an ill-fated trip to the Colorado Territory, while searching for gold and love, he and his companions lost their way and resorted to unthinkable horrors! Packer and his five wacky mining buddies sing and dance their ways into your heart...and then take a bite out of it! Cannibal! The Musical is Oklahoma meets Bloodsucking Freaks. Brought to you by the Troma Team and Trey Parker - the Rogers and Hammerstein of Horror!Alferd Packer was the only man in the United States ever convicted of cannibalism--what better hero for fellow Coloradan and future South Park creator Trey Parker to celebrate in music? Blue-eyed and boyish Parker was still in college when he wrote, directed, composed the songs for, and took the starring role as the innocent young Packer in this film, giving a gee- whiz performance as an ambitious pioneer who joins an ill-fated trek west that ends up stranded in the mountains. At times resembling a perverse community theater parody of Rodgers and Hammerstein ("My heart's as full as a baked po-ta-to!"), Parker bounces back and forth between cheery production numbers and goony songs ("Let's build a snowman," sings one starving-mad hiker) and grotesque gore (bloody body parts, festering sores, human hors d'oeuvres). It lacks in style and consistency and the juvenile gags and fart jokes wear thin over the course of a feature film, but Parker's sheer energy and inventiveness carry the overlong picture to a rousing conclusion. Regular Parker collaborators Matt Stone and Dian Bachar costar in this tuneful barbecue. --Sean Axmaker
