Review of Team America: World Police (2004) by Stuart K — 16 Apr 2013

America, FUCK YEAH!! South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker do a spoof of Gerry Anderson's puppet shows like Thunderbirds and the big, silly Jerry Bruckheimer action films like Armageddon (1998), it makes for a winning combination, and an absolutely hilarious film. Only them two could use the same humour they use for South Park on a puppet film, they make fun not only of world politics, but also extremely patriotic actors in Hollywood. This has counter-terrorism organization Team America, based within Mount Rushmore and ran by Spottswoode and consisting of Joe, Chris, Sarah and Lisa. After the death of one of their team, Spottswoode recruits Broadway actor Gary Johnston, who can't believe what he's seeing with this team, before long, he's with the team taking on Middle Eastern terrorists and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il, who is in league with the Film Actor's Guild, led by Alec Baldwin, who have evil plans for world domination, they and many other liberal actors like Tim Robbins and Sean Penn are pissed off at them blowing everywhere up to get the baddies. It's got moments Gerry Anderson would be proud of, but the piece de resistance of the film is the Puppet Sex Scene, which got Stone and Parker into trouble. It's a pity they won't be doing another one like this, as it's beautifully done with a lot of good detail.

America, FUCK YEAH!! Probabily the funniest fucking film of the decade. South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker do a spoof of puppet shows like Thunderbirds and the big, stupid Jerry Bruckheimer action films. This has counter-terrorism organization Team America, based within Mount Rushmore, recruiting Broadway actor Gary Johnston and taking on Middle Eastern terrorists and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il. Only Matt and Trey could use the same humour they use for South Park on a puppet film, they make fun not only of world politics, but also extremely patriotic actors in Hollywood. (It makes them look silly indeed.) It's got moments Gerry Anderson would be proud of, but the piece de resistance of the film is the Puppet Sex Scene, quite honestly the most disturbed, depraved and most hilarious sex scene ever committed to film!!
