I disagree. The entire movie was a criticism of Drawn Together's critics who describe the show as "South Park without a point". The creators were saying that not all crude humor needs to come with social commentary to be qualitative. As long as it's cleverly done and you have an open mind (i.e. not prudish), it's fine to be crude just for the humor of it all. Which is all Drawn Together ever tried to achieve: clever crude, over-the-top humor with a dab of satire on animation. Nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, there was a bit of South Park slandering ("relentlessly preachy", the SP-esque music while Taint Girl explains the messages), but I doubt that was their true target. I did love the irony that with those blathering around about "having a point", this is the first Drawn Together that really did have a point!
As for the actual movie itself, it was fun. It was surprising to see... [spoiler]...the deaths of Wooldoor and Clara, not to mention the Jew Producer, though apparently they all die in the very end...[/spoiler] ...so maybe the creators weren't aiming to get the series back on the air. (the end scene sort of confirms that) As an epilogue, it works fine, though I wouldn't have had shoehorned the Captain Hero/Molly plot in just for something for Xander and Ling Ling to do if this really is the end, yet it provided some laughs. (loved the "superheroes Molly's been with before" montage) The thinly-veiled ISRAEL "remarks" were cute for a good laugh, especially putting the overall message of the movie in context.
I also liked the fact that it never dragged, it was concise and to the point with the plot, and looking at some other recent direct-to-DVD TV adaptations (Futurama "Bender's Game", anyone?), that was a godsend. A fun, goofy, final outing with the Drawn Together gang. What more could you want?
Also, a note: maybe, maybe it will air on the Secret Stash a year or so from now, but I doubt it. This thing sometimes goes into near full-on toon pornography, so I'm going to recommend that if you want to see it, you're going to have to buy the DVD. Just don't hold your breath, just saying.
