Customer Reviews of Cannibal! The Musical
Cannibalism is fun I didn't know what to expect when I first rented this movie. I'm a huge fan of Trey Parker and i've seen pretty much everything else that he has done, but not this. Well anyway I saw this, loved it, bought it on DVD, watched it atleast 30 more times. I've watched it with the drunken commentary a few times also. This movie to me can never get tiring. The way some nerds feel about Star Trek, I feel about Cannibal The Musical. Trey always adds subliminal things into his work. And they are evident, with the constant alien sightings.
This is the incredible fact-based story of Alfred Packer (The first man convicted of Cannibalism). It is the story from Packer's point of view, but Trey added in some great stuff from his own life. Liane (also Cartman's mom on SP's name) is the horse, and the story of the horse running off was an interpretation of Trey's fiance Liane leaving him.
I could go on forever about his movie but, I won't. I'll let you view it for yourself. To view this movie and enjoy it, you must not take it too seriously. Look at it for what it is, a bunch of college kids trying to get their movie out there. But then view it again to look at how genius this film really is.
"You know what they say about sunrise..."
The Sky is Blue, and All the Leaves are Green!
This movie received its fair share of bad reviews, and much of the criticism centered on the quality of the cinematography and sound. Keeping in mind that this was Trey Parker's first picture and had a very limited budget, I must say that I believe those criticisms are for the most part exaggerated. In fact, I think this film is much better than anyone had a right to expect under the circumstances.
"Cannibal! the Musical" is the story of the ill-fated journey of Alfred Packer and his party from Utah to Breckenridge Colorado when they became stranded and without food resorted to cannibalism, with Packer being the lone survivor. Parker plays the title role and the usual suspects-Matt Stone and Dian Bachar-play members of the ill-fated party. Those who have seen "Orgazmo" may recognize the oriental actor who played "G-Fresh" in that picture in the role of an Indian chief here. The acting is good, but you won't see any Oscar worthy performances here. I found the movie to be quite entertaining although somewhat uneven and not quite as funny as "Orgazmo" or "Baseketball". The musical numbers are all very good and have very clever lyrics (a strong suit of Parker's). You'll be singing them to yourself for days afterward.
Overall, I think Parker acquits himself well in "Cannibal! The Musical". Check out the credits at the end of the film and you'll realize that this was Trey's baby from beginning to end. If you're not squeamish or a prude this motion picture is worth a look.
A Rough Start
As an enormous fan of Trey and Matt's work from Orgazmo, to Basketball, to South Park, I can't say I was disappointed with this movie, but I can't say I was satisfied either. There are a few amusing moments. The humor is very much that unique, quasi-satirical comedy that Trey and Matt are know for. The problem is that they had yet to perfect it when this movie was made.
If you keep in mind that this was a very early attempt a movie-making for two hilarious individuals, you'll feel content. Don't expect much more. If they could edit 30min out of this movie it would be infinitely more entertaining. As it stands, it seems to run on for days.
