Cannibal! The Musical Reviews
Despite being a little too long and in need of a few more songs, Trey Parker's Cannibal! The Musical is a delightfully earnest parody of Alfred Packer and musicals that anticipates his future work on South Park. Grab a beer and enjoy
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 27, 2025
Filled with humor, creativity, and an accomplished soundtrack of memorable tunes, the offering is something of a triumph for Parker and his team, who manage to show real talent in their debut.

What's also undeniable about the film is its charm. Everyone involved is so game to try things and so earnest with their performances. There's a sincerity to it. A warmness.

As a movie, it's good, but not great.

It has its longeurs but there's an air of genial enthusiasm, tempered by sick humour, that is surprisingly engaging.

Scattershot, unfocused, and simply not all that funny.

Best enjoyed on DVD, as the alcohol-fueled commentary track might just be the best one ever recorded.

An early project from the 'South Park' creators that, to put it politely, proves their best work was still to come.

General silliness from the SOUTH PARK boys, but some truly hilarious moments. And even (extremely loosely) based on actual events!

Early college film effort from South Park creators is the very definition of 'Sophomoric.'

Parker and Stone's satirical whims cannot seem to find an appropriate place in a live-action setting.

It's all pretty stupid, but at times, there are refreshingly ludicrous notes that even people old enough to see this movie without a guardian can appreciate.
