There are a couple bits that don't really work in it, but overall, I thought it was quite funny. The way the middle easters talk is hilarious. They just go "durka durka durka jiham mohammad durka." I couldn't help but crack up whenever one of them called. High profile celebrities are also made fun of, and all die in very gory/hilarious ways. I'd reccomend it, I guess.
There's one bit that completely falls flat on its face, it was painful to watch. It was a little musical number with Kim Jong Il. Other than that I thought the movie was pretty solid.

Almost completely DESPITE rather than thanks to the premise, the story and the ideas behind it, the funny parts happened. They had almost nothing to do with what the movie was. They were just the product of Stone's and Parker's cleverness. I don't think the movie could make up its mind whether it was a serious political diatribe or just slapstick gross-out nonsense, and most of the film fell somewhere in between for me, amounting ultimately to nothing. Nothing with a bunch of funny moments somewhere in between.
If Parker and Stone are going into this meaning to produce something meaninglessly stupidly funny, then they're letting their politics sabotage the operation. And if they're going into it meaning to produce political satire, then they're losing that aspect of it in a sea of aimless toilet humour. I don't think the combination worked here the way it works in South Park.

America - FUCK YEAH!
