Team America: World Police - Unrated (2004)

The worset movie ever viewed

What the movie is about, from what I gathered, is a team (World Police) that wants to kill off the terrorists. They want to recruit someone, and well, basically if you think of the typical format, you have the movie. guy comes in, doesn't want to join, later decides to, runs off, other guys in trouble, he comes back, has to save the day, and does.
I am Conversation, and this is mostly bashing left wing liberals, but that didn't make a difference. This movie was horrible. If I was home, I would have turned this off within the first 15 minutes of it, but I was a sisters house and I didn't have my car with me (under repairs), I there I sat, a whole 98 minutes of garbage.
Watch American Carol with Kevin Farley. It's a ton better! That was a funny film. But this, way too vulgar, too stupid, no real creative, a very mature nude/love making scene. Too potty mouth!

THUNDERBIRDS on crack!

If you're expecting high brow cinema from this flick, you outta have your head examined! Of course it's crude and vulgar! Of course it's out of bounds! That's the whole point, silly! It's like getting offended at a Don Rickles show!

Personally, I loved it! The "America, f*=@# yeah" gung-ho anthem is a riot. So is the "I'm so ronery" bit, the towel turbaned guy, the puppet sex scene (make sure you get the unrated edition) and the F.A.G. jokes. Tasteless? Sure. Dead on target? Hillariously so. Politically inccorrect? Thank God, yes! Is that why so many of you are upset? I thought so...

MAAAAAAATT DAAAAAMON!!! (he, he, he!) Get a life! September 30, 2008

unwatchable

Full disclosure: I only lasted about 30 minutes (for you fans, I got as far as "dirka dirka dirka," or something that sounded like that). So this isn't a review of the whole thing.

Combine the soulless, nasty humor of South Park with puppet action lacking any trace of style or creativity and what do you get? This tedious, smug little bomb of a movie. Visually it has the creepy feel of that awful CGI Christmas movie Tom Hanks dumped a bunch of money into a few years ago, combined with the SP tradition of writers so pleased with their own political incorrectness that they don't notice they just aren't very funny. Add to that strange leaden pacing that inserts a second or two of dead sound after every line of dialog--I guess you're supposed to be laughing or something--and the whole thing just falls apart. At least for the first half hour! After that, for all I know it's the greatest work of art since Michaelangelo finished painting the Sistine Chapel. I, at least, will never know.

A FUNNY POLITICAL-BASHING, UNABASHEDLY OFFENSIVE FILM 8.5 OUT OF 10

Team America: World Police is a rather funny and well-made film that is not afraid to bash liberal politics, celebrities, and third-world countries like North Korea. I really enjoyed the fact this film is not afraid of flipping the bird to people like Michael Moore and other celebrities like Alec Baldwin and rubs their faces in the fact that they are total jackasses and need to shut the hell up.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: When a member of Team America is killed by terrorists, they find another man; a Broadway actor named Gary; and use him to dress up and act like a terrorist in order to foil plans of a massive worldwide terrorist attack, but what they don't know is that North Korea has been supplying the weapons to terrorists and is the main country planning a worldwide terrorist attack. So they must foil these plans as well, and prevent Hollywood's most well-known hardcore liberals from getting in the way. Yes, this film does use marionettes for the characters.
MUSIC: There is decent music, and not to mention the fact the filmmakers actually wrote some of the songs played in the movie and they aren't afraid to use the F-word in them either.
GORE FACTOR: Yes, there is gore in this movie. Limb-ripping, getting shot to death, exploding, splatting on the ground, being eaten by giant cats, and more.
ENTERTAINMENT: This film is quite funny, rather dirty and inappropriate in so many ways, and very gory. What damages the quality of this film is a slow and stupid beginning and the puppet love-making scene made me want to gouge my eyes out because of how disturbing it was (They basically did almost every sexual act known to man). This is definitely not for kids, oh no it's not at all for kids.
OVERALL: This film is definitely worth a buy for a good laugh and it will keep the laughs coming. This film is not afraid to be offensive or disturbing so if you easily get offended or grossed out you've been warned.
THE GOOD: Unafraid of bashing liberal politics, it's funny, it's gory, and it's very entertaining.
THE BAD: Slow beginning, disturbing puppet love-making scene.

Absolute genius - Matt , Trey and their team are so original

I found the puppets in this movie more life-like and interesting than the multi-million dollar puppets and CGI used in big blockbuster movies. This movie isn't for children, but Trey and Matt are so childlike (not childish) in presenting the issues it really wasen't offensive at all. I found it sharp, witty, well detailed (loved the lit cigarette the puppet was holding), very original story, and pants wetting funny! Even the songs the characters sang were well written and to the point. Keep up the good work, guys, a lot of your fans really appreciate it. July 1, 2008
