Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone become stars when a game they
invented is turned into a professional sport. Also with Yasmine Bleeth, Jenny McCarthy,
Ernest Borgnine, Robert Vaughn, Dian Bachar, Bob Costas, Al Michaels, Robert Stack, Dan
Patrick, Reggie Jackson and Kenny Mayne. [1:43]
SEX/NUDITY 5 - Lots of sexual innuendo (including references to
masturbation, necrophilia and sexually transmitted diseases). Some kissing, including two
scenes of french-kissing, one passionate and one between men. Twice, we see the bare
shoulders of an obviously naked couple; in one scene, the man is behind the woman but
there's no sexual movement and in the other scene they kiss. A man's hands are in his
pants and he appears to be masturbating. We see nude men covered with towels lying on
tables. We see several men's bare buttocks and briefly see a few men's obviously fake
genitalia. Lots of cheerleaders in cleavage- and buttock-revealing outfits dance
suggestively. A man licks a phallic object.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - Mainly played for laughs: During a hockey game, a man's
head is knocked off (we see the severed head with a trail of blood on the ice) and a man
cuts off his finger (we see the bloody stump and blood spurting on his face); both scenes
appear to be very fake. We see a ribbon pinned to a bare chest with blood dripping from
it. We see a man hanging in closet. Lots of people fall and two men are thrown; one
crashes into a wall and the other flies into a fireworks display (we see an explosion
afterwards). A man is sucked into a jacuzzi and a man is shocked with electric paddles. A
man pounds another's head in a door, a man is slapped, a man is knocked down (we hear him
being stepped on), a man is kicked and hit in head with a board and a man is kicked and
hit in crotch with a ball. A kid cracks his head into the top of door and a man hits his
head on a basketball hoop. A man is tossed between people and he screams as they punch
him. Players hit each other hard during a game; one person is wheeled off the field. A dog
attacks a man, and is in turn hit with a ball and yelps. Many scenes of animals being run
over during a fake TV show. A man wipes feces on his face and it's implied that a man is
drinking cellulite through a straw. A man squirts milk from his nipples. We see a couple
of people urinating and hear a couple of people vomit. People are pelted with eggs. One
riot scene.

PROFANITY 7 - About 15 F-words, some obscene finger gestures, lots of
scatological and anatomical references and lots of mild obscenities and insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Basketball, baseball, friendship, professional sports teams.
MESSAGE - This film is as tasteless as the TV show the stars created --
"South Park."
A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
