Review: I liked it better than I thought I would. It was pretty much an hour and a half South Park episode, just raunchier. It had the South Park gang, Kenny dies, foul language occurs (though it's not bleeped out), and there's a moral at the end. The only thing that's different from the TV episodes is, other than the foul language actually being said, it's 1000% more crass, and 1000% funnier. I recommend this movie if you're a South Park fan. I recommend this movie if you're not a fan but like movies such as "There's Something About Mary". It does contain cartoon nudity, cartoon violence, foul language, and off screen homosexual sex."

Review: I just LOVED this movie. Not only did this movie make me laugh so hard, the characters were believable. I don't mean the antics that they go through is totally believable, but how they feel and act are. I didn't feel like any of the characters represented me, but they did represent some of my friends and people I went to high school with. The characters were very likable even though they acted like dweebs in some parts. I laughed through the entire movie and I am going to see it again in the theatre. I highly recommend this movie. Great film. It does contain crass material, nudity, under the sheet sex, offscreen oral sex, foul language and off screen sex between people of different generations.

Review: The movie was great the second time around. I laughed at the same places and enjoyed it immensely. I gave it an "A-" the second time around only because I knew what was going to happen and it was slightly, VERY SLIGHTLY, less funny, but still hilariously funny. Seeing the movie again gave me a chance to catch things that I missed the first time I saw the movie. Little details, such as the band practicing during the internet scene was a real band, BLINK 182. It was treat because I am a fan of the band. Anyway, Go see it if you haven't and if you have, go see it again. You'll enjoy it.

REVIEW: This movie was awesome. It isn’t a scarefest, but it was creepy and keeps you watching. The ending was really, really great. The scene with the kid and the gun was totally disturbing and great. I was disturbed by the voice behind the door at the party and the beaten wife. I want to go see it again. It’s just a great movie. The kid was really great. I think he would have made a hell of a better Anakin Skywalker than Jake Lloyd did. Bruce Willis was good as the doctor. I can’t highly recommend it enough, it’s a really good movie. The movie was great because of great acting and great story. The movie has a woman taking a shower behind the curtains, people with deadly injuries (the dead folks), and some stuff that'll scare you a little.

REVIEW: The movie was funny and I enjoyed it. It wasn’t a great film, but funny. I really didn’t like the characters that much. The story wasn’t great and not plausible. Still, I liked it, but not that much.

REVIEW: I was so honored by being able to watch an awesome, well-written movie called American Beauty. I want you all, every one of you to see this movie. I can't express how AWESOME this movie is. Nothing I write will do the movie justice. My eyes were stuck on the screen from the first second to the last. The characters were very well written and very developed. I cared about the characters. I cared what happened to them. To me I felt I knew them. Kevin Spacey is just awesome in the movie. This is his movie. Any Kevin Spacey fan will want to see this again, and again, and again (I will definitely see this again and again). Annette Benning is great as KS's wife. The chorus girl from American Pie (the one with the odd-looking eye lids) is the best friend of KS's daughter. Every character is unique and fully developed. The story moved smoothly and there was never a dull moment.
I just can't express how much I LOVED this movie. GO SEE IT! If you enjoy a movie without high tech special effects and is a script runned movie, not a special effects one, I highly recommend this movie.
This movie has some cussing, a sex scene with no nudity, some nudity, and one death scene.
