Absolutely brilliant, though many will not think so.

Yes, I have to say it, I am a South Park fan. I watch the show religiously, and that is the reason why I watched this brilliantly entertaining film. That's probably the only reason anyone ever watches it. This film... Full review

Like the previous films from Trauma, this a masterpiece and a example on how all musicals should be. With songs about snowmen, Chinese Indians and a man who is a bit too close his horse, film should be seen by... Full review

This film shows that if you have energy, love and the want to do something, it can become something great. Even with only a little money. This feels as much like a Troma movie as it is a Trey Parker... Full review

"Cannibal! The Musical" is a perfect example as to why Trey Parker is one of the most talented comedy writers of our time. Made in 1993, whilst still in college, Trey wrote this movie based upon the true story of... Full review

This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Maybe I was just in the right mood to watch it, but I found it's casual randomness and altogether ridiculous feel to be more than funny. I do agree... Full review
The perfect independent film!

I didn't expect for ALFERD PACKER: THE MUSICAL to be that good since Troma movies are usually pretty bad. Boy, was I wrong. The movie was way better than the anything I had seen in a while. Featuring some of... Full review
Brilliant and hilarious `musical'

Cannibal! The Musical is now a small cult classic thanks to DVD. It deserves more because this is simply a great movie, with songs that will leave you laughing for days and some great pop-culture references. Oh yeah, and Japanese... Full review

This is not just a film shot over spring break by a bunch of film students... Well, maybe that did happen , but it was a work of art like no other. It's the best musical I have and probably... Full review
Possibly the strangest comedy (or musical) ever made

Filmjack3 - imdb.com
While my statement could be provided because it is a comedy about a cannibal, I think the film is as strange as it is because it's a comedy/musical about a cannibal. I bet that if the South Park movie didn't... Full review

The Miami Herald
eventually he confessed to a terrible story:....And that's exactly where you'll find South Park co-creator Trey Parker's goofy, gross, hilarious musical about real-life Colorado cannibal Alferd Packer.....The guy who (with Matt Stone) would later create Stan, Cartman, Kyle and Kenny puts his own spin on the story of an American cannibal.....The show's own music is relentlessly cheerful and unremarkable, except for a lovely solo beautifully sung by Anne Chamberlain as Polly Pry..... ...

Ain't It Cool Movie Reviews
I also felt that it didn't have the wonderful satire that say, THE SIMPSONS has. I would also push for a screenplay nomination based on the wonderful satire this film dishes out... You must find the Clitoris and satisfy it. ... Full Review

The Unknown Movies
The songs are tolerable, not annoying but neither catchy or witty. These songs do provide some amusement, but towards the end of the movie viewers will start to grow weary of each new number. ... Full Review
