Disgustingly, obscenely, horrifyingly offensive. And just about as hilarious. The puppetry is sheer genius, and, as is typical with Trey and Matt's work, the homemade soundtrack shines through. My primary complaint coming out of the movie was that I felt that they had gone too far with the gay jokes. My friend, who I saw the film with, countered by pointing out that they had ripped on pretty much every other possible stereotype and then some, and that in that context, gay jokes were fair game. I think that what I was unable to articulate before, however, is that the reason that the gay jokes seemed the most barbed and cruel was the casual manner in which they were passed off. Many times it didn't feel like they were set up as jokes at all, but just natural, casual conversation, and that's what stings. Aside from that, though, if you're not easily offended, and want to go see puppets vomiting, blowing things up, and having wild and crazy sex, then march on down to your local theater like a good citizen.
