Team America: World Police

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

From what I understand, they created puppets for Bush and Kerry, but decided to leave them out of the film.

Team America: World Police will offended EVERYONE, it should also make everyone laugh.

Its childish, immature, racist, sexist, homophobic, violent, and anything else that'll piss people off.

Its also brilliant. TA:WP is over the top stupid and that's the point. How over the top? The whole movie is acted out using puppets.

The basic plot is that TA has to save the world from a terrorist plot. Along the way, each team member must also come to terms with his or her own past.

Trey and Matt use every action film cliche in the book and then break the rules. Every scene you'd expect from a typical action film is here, its just done with puppets.

As with any episodes of South Park, TA:WP has underlying political commentary and this film attacks both the left and the right.

In fact, Matt and Trey decided only two people on the planet were safe from being mocked in this film: George W. Bush and John Kerry. They felt that due to the election (this film came out right before the vote) it wouldn't be fair to the election process to include the candidates. Michael Moore could learn a thing or two from these guys.

Of special note is the soundtrack. Its hilarious and ranges from the "montage theme" to the America fight song to Kim Jung Ill's "Lonely" to the freedom take off of "Proud to be an American".

Matt and Trey have a way of getting their point across in the most blunt, yet ridiculous way possible. This film is no exception.

8 out of 10.

The more I think about the film, the funnier it gets.

There will be a LOT of stolen quotes from this film and used here once everyone sees it.

I know Gordon will be anxious to prove his loyalty to everyone...

I PROMISE...I won't die....

I only have the first half of the movie. D/L it off e-donkey the night after it was put in theateres. BUT, I did get the sex scene, which I have edited out so I can fit on my JumpDrive. Any time I need a good laugh, I just watch that.

America, FUCK YEAH!

I bought the unrated version... I have a hunch that during the sex scene, they didn't show the chick shitting on the guy's face.

Plan on watching it again today for what I missed yesterday. Found it very interesting. 8/10. The wife found the puppet sex very amusing.

Just watched the second time. How did it offend African-Americans or Hispanics.

Anyone not white = a victim, so the fact the team was all white is offensive.

minority => democrat => liberal => actor/hippie type => called a pussy and told they suck, therefor insulted by movie

Yes, I know that's a stupid connection to make, but it's one that those actor/hippie types would make. Because they're stupid.

As long as everyone was offended.
The special features were good. How they hated actors.

You know, there was that dick/pussy/asshole speech that I remember everyone calling "brilliant" when the movie first came out.

That is NOT equally offensive...

Most dicks know they are dicks, and are fine with it.

The pussies DO NOT like being seen as pussies, even though they know they are..

The assholes go both ways.

So it isn't completely equally offensive.

Sorry, I found the movie sub-par. It wasn't terrible, but lets just say I'm glad I didn't pay for that movie.
