Rude, but funny

It's doing this movie a disservice to compare it to South Park, and frankly, it IS funny. The humour is mainly had at the expense of religion, which might put some off, but since they're the kind of people that a porno setting will likely offend anyway, that shouldn't be an issue (I will grant that there were some scenes which were obviously meant to be funny, but were just plain offensive-- it can't all be gold). One should note that like all good comedy, it has some useful commentary on its own culture's problems. I highly recommend it to the mature, which isn't necessarily the same as "adult".
