Cannibal the Musical (1996)

Also known as Alferd Packer: The Musical.
Should have seen this years ago, but didn't. This is the first feature length film by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, sold to Troma Video in 1993. Best taken with a pound of B-Movie salt and half-a-shoestring-budget expectations, the songs are mostly clever ("When I Was On Top Of You" is a personal favorite), the gags mostly work, and it's just plain fun with a few brews and a few friends around. Pretty much as much fun as a single, average episode of 'South Park' stretched to a feature length film. Still a shame there isn't more... y'know... cannibalism in the film.

7 out of 10.
