Team America: World Police (2004)

Lack of good storyline.

A lot of fun.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Totally hilarious, I don't watch many comedy movies, saw this come on one of the premium channels late one night, knew nothing about it and laughed from start to finish! I think they should make a sequel and have the same nemesis's offspring squaring of against Donald Trump. It ended with real possibilities for a sequel or series of movies. One ridiculous moment after another; let the good times roll and bring on a sequel! Thumbs up

These guys took out a leader of North Korea on film, way before "The Interview" from Rogen and Franco. Everyone in this film is ridiculed on all sides(SNL in 2017 should take notes), and I mean EVERYONE.It was very timely for the post 9/11 era, and it does a great job of showcasing the absurdities of everything from country singers cashing in with sappy songs on tragedies, really uninformed patriotism or apathy for what is going on in the world, idiotic self-righteous leftists and Hollywood clowns like Alec Baldwin/Tim Robbins/Matt Damon, etc. with some sex and vomiting and puppet fight scenes that you can't help but crack a smile at.The Film Actors Guild idea was truly brilliant. The songs are hysterical, and now a pop culture throwback reference to most Americans. TEAM America!!! F*** YEAH!! HERE TO SAVE THE MOTHERF***** DAY YEAH!!!!Kim Jong was never more lovable!!! "DO SOMETHING AWEC BODWIN!!!"

Team America: World Police (2004): Dir: Trey Parker, Matt Stone / Voices: Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Kristen Miller, Daran Norris, Skyler Stone: Vulgar and distasteful computer generated string puppet action film about a team of fighters who destroy terrorism. They seem to be a metaphor for the senseless attack on Iran. They destroy every important landmark they come across and seek a stage actor to disguise himself as a terrorist and gather information. They find him performing a musical called Everybody Has A.I.D.S. With his help they confront a terrorist enemy who assembles members of the Screen Actors guild for support. Totally offensive yet detailed film directed by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park. Some characters are broad while others are types. Parker and Stone voice many of the puppet characters including actor Gary and terrorist villains. Kristen Miller voices agent Lisa who falls for Gary, and Daran Norris voices the agency head who seeks Gary out. Skyler Stone voices Chris who confesses why his attitude is so bad. Numerous celebrities are maimed in response towards publicity stunts. Jokes include two naked puppets engaging in various sexual positions, and an extended puking scene. While the film is offensive, it also strives for creativity while attacking media bullshit. The puppets are a hoot within all the turmoil. Score: 7 / 10

Because the movie is told through puppets, it will likely be off- putting for many right off the bat but it's also what made me appreciate the movie most (as a technical feat). Team America: World Police hilariously nails many of the action genre's tropes and easy American stereotypes but coincidentally shares the same tasteless, uncomfortable humor that South Park manufactures. It's too extreme for me but was a good introspective laugh in the meantime.My rubric:2. You and I, we could make something more engrossing with a million dollars and the length of the runtime. Absolutely dreadful, a total drag - save yourself.4. Average. Post-mortem of your mildly entertained time, you are unenthused.6. The threshold for willful re-watching. You get excited when it's brought up casually in conversation.8. The go-to movies. You've employed yourself to actively advertise someone else's work to share the satisfaction. The obsession extends beyond promotion and into understanding. You exhaust yourself, concerned in the detail and ensuring no one could ever introduce you to an element you haven't explored.10. A work of art that radically develops one's self comically, emotionally, morally or imaginatively with lasting affect.
