Reviews
Manthast Absolutely amazing
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Theflyace Just before Matt Stone and Trey Parker made history with South Park, Fox executive Brian Graden commissioned a Christmas card for the duo to create. The Spirit of Christmas is the very funny and aggressive look at the modern Christmas ideal through the eyes of our favorite foursome form South Park.What makes it funny to start off is it begins like a normal Christmas card, but then sinks right into the racist and crude humor that the series is most famous for. But the true inspiration is the religious and Christmas symbols, Jesus and Santa Claus, dueling a-la Mortal Combat about whether Christmas is for giving or remembering Jesus' birth. Then out of nowhere comes ice skater Brian Boitano to explain the meaning of Christmas. A small taste of random celebrity teasing found later in the show. Of course Jesus and Santa make up (not acknowledging they have killed Kenny and other students in the crossfire) and Stan and Kyle reveal the true meaning of Christmas, I will not dare spoil it for those who haven't seen it.This short is both offensive, aggressive, profane, and outrageously funny. A classic for South Park fans and non-fans alike.
wznote This is the funniest thing I've ever seen. I got a hold of it back in 97 and I still watch it all the time.Jesus and Santa yelling profanities at each other while asking the kids to vote for them is more than many can stand, but it makes me roll!
Aurthur A very funny short that premiered the the "South Park" universe to the world. See Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and Brian Boytano in the middle of the epic feud between Jesus and Santa.It is tremendously funny and true to the South Park we know and love. See it if you can!
nighthwk This is probably the sickest, most demented thing ever put on film. Which, of course, is what makes it so brilliant. It is disgusting and banal, not to mention perverse and profane. But simply the idea of Santa and Jesus fighting it out at a Mall to decide who Christmas is really about is something worth watching. There's a reason SOUTH PARK is such a brilliant television show and it's all here.
