Half a point for the "Spider Pig" song, but otherwise had all the laughs of an okay episode, stretched out over 87 minutes. Rent it if you must see it. 2.5 stars.
I don't disagree, but it was better than most of what Groening & Co. have put out over the last few seasons. Let's hear it for lowering the bar.

The South Park movie remains the gold standard in TV-to-film animation adaptation.

Plus: No Akbar and Jeff?!?
