The movie (from what I've pieced together, little help from the movie) is about man by the name of Alferd Packer. Alferd was head of a mining expedition, who apparently was forced to turn to cannibalism after things for him and his group didn't go exactly to plan. Becoming one of the few people in America to be convicted of cannibalism-before 1950 onwards anyway.
The movie is cheap, in production values, and laughs. But that is why it is so funny. It's just a really stupid movie. Typical "so stupid, you have to laugh" situations are what the 90 minute + movie is all about.
It doesn't say much for me that some of the songs have actually stuck in my head. Or, that I have watched it everyday for the last 3. But it must say something about the movie. Trey Parker (best known for South Park) managed to make a low budget film that easily stands up against multi-million dollar comedies that have good acting but tired plots. This offers bad acting, bad singing, the goofiest songs you'll ever hear, you'll learn some history and see plenty of America.
If you're tired of big Hollywood productions or remake and sequel after remake and sequel and the same old thing, try this. It's goofy. It's dumb. It's something you and a group of friends could probably make yourselves on the weekend. But it did make me laugh, and 3 days in a row. For that I must recommend.
7/10
