  • Overview
  • Details
Clearly inspired by the provoking humor of "South Park," this dark, cheeky satire loosely based on a video game of the same name centers on jobless trailer-park resident Dude (Zack Ward) and his ethically challenged Uncle Dave (Dave Foley), who are desperate for cash. The men cook up a scheme to pinch a shipment of Krotchy dolls and sell them on eBay. Unfortunately, Al-Qaeda has the same idea ... but plans to lace the toys with avian flu.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this film is deliberately crafted to push buttons with "edgy" material; regrettably, the ham-fisted level of execution means that the metaphorical buttons are not so much pushed as smashed to oblivion. An endless series of sexually charged, racially insensitive, and brutally violent "jokes" makes this movie as uncomfortable as it is unnecessary. It lacks the point of view or coherence that might make it enjoyable, or even interesting.

Sexual Content

Discussions of sex, sexual acts, and sexual slang, as well as vulgar language; a major plot point revolves around a penis-shaped plush toy. Discussions of the virgins promised to Islamic martyrs. Male and female full-frontal nudity -- including naked breasts; depictions of sex acts, including oral sex.

Violence

Depictions of shootings, fighting, brutality, and violence; a "comedic" re-enactment of the 9/11 attacks. "Comedic" depictions of suicide bombing. Blood and gore. Multiple depictions of murder, including the bodies of children. Gunplay. Explosions.

Language

Constant foul language, including 'f--k," "s--t," "p---y," "damn," "c--ksucking," "motherf---ing," "ass," "a--hole," and much, much more.

Social Behavior

Stereotypical "comedic" portrayals of Islamic characters, obese characters, "white trash," "retards," religious cults, Asian characters, African-American characters, German characters, religious fanaticism, and more. Theft of private property. Discussions of biological warfare terror attacks. Police are depicted as brutal, corrupt thugs. A constant stream of "edgy" material that's clearly meant to be satirical, but lacking any real intent or intelligence behind it. "Comedic" use of Nazi iconography.

Consumerism

Mentions of brands like eBay. Discussions of consumerism.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Marijuana is smoked; drug-smoking paraphernalia is seen; cigarette smoking; alcohol is consumed.
