Combining the puppetry of the mid-1960s series THUNDERBIRDS with action/disaster flicks produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (TOP GUN, ARMAGEDDON, PEARL HARBOR), Parker and Stone tell the story of a small group of heroic figures who span the globe protecting democracy and freedom against terrorism. Along the way, they destroy such famous international landmarks as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Sphinx in Egypt, and the Panama Canal. All the while they are developing close relationships that lead to love, jealousy, and betrayal. Their primary mission is to stop North Korean leader Kim Jong Il's peace conference, which is a ruse to allow him to attack the rest of the world with his weapons of mass destruction. Team America must also take on F.A.G., the Film Actors Guild, which is supporting the peace conference, including such participants as Alec Baldwin, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, George Clooney, and other actors who have spoken out against the war in Iraq (but did not agree to be spoofed in the film). Parker and Stone reserve a special message for FAHRENHEIT 9/11 director Michael Moore, and even former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix shows up. Among the very funny--and very dirty--songs in the film are "Everyone Has AIDS" (from the Broadway musical LEASE), "Only a Woman" (about homosexuality), and "I'm So Ronery" (Kim Jong Il's soaring solo). Despite having no actual humans in it, the movie earns its R rating with lots of blood, very adult language, and a steamy puppet sex scene. [More]

Despite the film's originality, I grew tired of looking at all those puppets after about 15 minutes, which is how I usually I feel when watching any wooden actors.

Finally a fair and balanced report, a satire on the foibles of the political left and right alike.

Team America puts Michael Moore and company to shame by being fair and balanced in its comic assault on the left and right.

For giggling, politically savvy homo-repressed teenagers, Team America: World Police is hardly as funny as it should be so it gets 2 stars -- make it 3 if you sniff glue.

A film that earns the phrase satire, Team America is a film thatt understands neo cons and celebrities are really led by their strings.

Political junkies have long been wondering if there would be an October surprise... Now we know the answer. Team America: World Police is that surprise.

It would be abhorrent if it weren't so screamingly 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 gags fall flat as often as they hit their mark.

As puppetry, Team America is stilted. As satire, it's gutless and lazy. And as comedy, it barely delivers laughs.

Three times in the course of Team America: World Police I laughed so hard I thought I was crying, and when I checked, sure enough.
