Movie Reviews of Cannibal! The Musical
Movie Review: Dumb..... in a really, really good way
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is stupid. It is also one of the funniest dang DVDs you'll ever buy. One man's "stupid" is another man's comic genius! So call it what you want, but you'll laugh your butt off. The songs are lively, fun and catchy, and Parker's trademark dry humor is dished out in generous doses in scene after hilarious scene.And then you get to the commentary track. Rather than the pompous comments and butt-kissing you get with other filmmaker's commentaries, here you get to listen as Parker, Stone, and various other cast members promptly get drunk and tell silly anecdotes, make fun of each other, and alternately praise/insult their former co-stars and crew.
Have fun! "Let's build a snowman..."
P.S. Minor quibble: Alfred Packer was NOT "the only man ever convicted of cannibalism". He was convicted of manslaughter. There was (is?) no law against cannibalism.
Movie Review: Work of art. No, really. It is.
Summary: 5 Stars
What the hell is with the person saying people like this simply because of the director/writer? I LOATHED South Park until I saw this movie and after I saw it, I realized that Trey Parker (who wrote and directed this. Stone did nothing but act) worked on more than one level. It's pretty obvious in this. If you expect gore, cheap laughs, cursing, etc, then don't even bother. It's not meant to offend, it's not meant to be "shocking," it's meant to parody movie musicals from the 50's (much like That's My Bush. Few people understood THAT, too). Now, yes, there will be those who got everything and still hate it, and that's fine, but to the one bitter bastard who said this has fans because Trey PARKER has fans, then you should really stop envying him. It's not cool.Either way, this is the ONLY movie I'll call genius. It really is.
Movie Review: When I Was on Top of 5 Stars
I saw Cannibal:The Musical, and I would have to say that this movie is funnier than a monkey being taken advantage of by a certain man *coughPhilCollinscough*. Shpadoinkle just made me laugh so hard. I don't think Oklahoma! will ever be the same. Being a huge fan of '50s musicals, the jokes from Oklahoma! just crack me up. The dream sequance was so funny. The brightly colored bandanas made me think of Curly. Let's not forget the Japanese Idians, not musicals, but who doesn't love Wild Wild West. I don't mean that new one with Will Smith. I mean the original one. Well, what did I forget? All I can say is I wish I could perform "This Side of Me" for my school variety show, but there is a cuss word in it. You guess what that word is. Overall, I would say Lloyd Koffman chose a winner. Toxie would be proud.Movie Review: It's A Shpadoinkle Hit!
Summary: 5 Stars
In the mid 90's, now-millionaires Trey Parker and Matt Stone were still slumming it, trying to piece together a film about the most famous man to come out of Colorado--Alferd Packer. Packer was the first man in the United States to ever be convicted of cannibalism, making the story ample fodder for Parker and Stone to turn, obviously, into a song-and-dance musical. With only...[a small amount of money]and a few buckets of blood, the young bucks made this insanely funny and digusting film. Troma Studios backed it all the way, pushing the film to grosses that allowed Parker and Stone to begin production with their groundbreaking series South Park. Also featuring BASEketball alumnus Dian Bachar and producer Jason McHugh, Cannibal!: The Musical makes you simply beg for seconds.Movie Review: Oscar, Academy Award!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie should have won Best Picture!!!!!Let me tell you that just the commemntary track alone is worth buying. The commentary on this movie is better than most Movies I've seen. Get this, Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and other actors in the movie sit around and drink while the movie is playing. By the end of the movie Trey isn't even talking in sentences, it's more like really long words. As for the movie, well it's low low low low low budget. When someone says low budget they mean a few million. So for the amount of money they spent it is good. As for the content of the movie... the best. His jokes are played perfectly and the timing is always on. Yes this movie is a musical, but remember it is a comedy as well. It's more like a Comusicaledy.
