Movie Info

Directed by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Team America: World Police is a tongue-in-cheek but nonetheless politically biting send-up of the CGI-laden, big-budget action movies that have taken an almost exclusive hold over mainstream box offices, particularly during the summer months. Inspired by the Thunderbirds, a popular 1960s children's series, Team America: World Police uses similarly styled, but significantly more crass, marionette puppets in lieu of computer-generated

Juvenile in the worst sense: confused and frightened by the adult world, and begging to be protected.

The first work from Parker and Stone that I'd describe as a failure of nerve.

Team America is at once grandiose and tacky, elaborate and deflationary.

Profane and sometimes bitingly funny.

Team America is not as funny as the South Park movie, and some of its juvenile humor falls flat. But when Team America works, it falls squarely into the category of guilty pleasure.

The jarhead action, intentionally crappy parody songs, mélange of terrorist gibberish and semi-sensible anatomical analogies for foreign policy all let "Team America" rowdily resurrect the Zucker Brothers' spirit of peerless, puerile genre satire.

Geniuses of satire Matt Stone and Trey Parker bring more laughs to the big screen after their wildly funny 1999 movie "South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut" with a cast of square-jawed marionettes fighting terror by way of North Korea's Kim Jong II in a re

As usual, heart and soul have been poured into an enterprise that Parker and Stone want you to think they just knocked off after a night of smoking weed.

An irredeemable exhibition of ethnic intolerance and moral depravity which repeatedly suggests that it's okay to hate people just for being different.

...hurt by Parker and Stone's reliance on speechifying and heavy-handed diatribes...

The rallying cry song "America, f--- yeah!" for the film should be what U.S. soldiers will use in Iraq...

Very, very funny but not quite as clever as the South Park boys could have done. Full review later.
