Description:
In TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE, a group of marionette puppets form Team America, an international police force dedicated to maintaining global stability. Discovering that a power hungry dictator, Kim Jong II, plans to destroy the world and is brokering weapons of mass destruction to terrorists, the team enlists the undercover help of Broadway star Gary Johnston and embarks on a harrowing mission to save the world. Opposed to this, is the Film Actors' Guild, or F.A.G., whose members include puppets representing actors Alec Baldwin, Tim Robbins, Matt Damon, Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn. In spite of the lack of support they receive, the team sticks to their plan of saving the world and putting an end to terrorism.
Amazon.com:
An elite U.S. counter-terrorism squad loses a member while decimating half of Paris in the reckless pursuit of Middle Eastern maniacs; a Broadway actor with a traumatic childhood secret is naturally hired to replace him. Oh--and they're all marionettes. South Park maestros Trey Parker and Matt Stone (along with co-writer Pam Brady) came up with this shameless satire of pea-brained Hollywood action flicks and even smaller-minded global politics, so don't expect subtlety or even a hint of good taste. Team America is soon on the trail of North Korea's evil Kim Jong Il, who treats us to a tender song about his loneliness before ensnaring Alec Baldwin and the rest of the oblivious Film Actors Guild (F.A.G. for short) in a plot to blow up every major city on the planet. Just as the mindless squad cheerfully demolishes everything in sight, so do director Parker and company. Throwing punches Left, Right, and in-between, the movie's politics leave no turn un-stoned; there's even time to bludgeon the musical Rent. It's offensive, irresponsible comic anarchy seemingly made by sniggering little boys. Painfully funny sniggering little boys.--Steve Wiecking

Rating:  - Team America: World Police
One of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. Watched it for the first time with my American friend (We both live in Scotland). A cynical but hilarious view of America as World Policeman.
Rating: - Team America World Police
A funny movie! Good for a night of beer drinking with close friends....NOT for children!
Rating:  - The worst 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 ... Read More
Rating: - 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 ... Read More
Rating: - 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 ... Read More
