One of the best movies of the year!

Written: Oct 22 '04
Pros:EVERYTHING: Story is awesome, as well as the "puppets", music, "acting"/voice, and celebrity bashing.
Cons:Nothing really, but it's not for those easily offended or children.
The Bottom Line: If you've liked previous movies or works by Matt and Trey, then you NEED to see this movie.

My husband and I went too see Team America: World Police today, and we almost died of laughter in the theatre. We loved it so much we plan on seeing it again in the theatre, as well as purchasing the DVD when it comes out.

**********Minor Plot Details
The movie is about a specialized team called Team America: World Police. Their job is to seek out terrorists and prevent future terrorist attacks. The team seeks out an actor to join their force so that they can have essentially an undercover agent to learn of the next big attack. The main terrorist planning the big attack is our favorite North Korean dictator, who plans on destroying the world with numerous WMD while everyone is focused on a World Peace Summit, which features many US celebrities.

**********Movie characteristics
First off, the movie is made of puppets as its main and support characters, so if you are not a fan of puppets you will not be wild about this movie. Secondly, it's very conservative. Although the movie does make fun of everyone, it does have a habit of angering those on the left much more than those on the right. Also, the movie is very much like South Park in the form of humor and dialogue: there's lots of swearing, crude jokes, and celebrity bashing. So, if you've previously enjoyed South Park (or other movies by Matt and Trey) then this movie is for you, however if you've never appreciated that type of humor then it's probably not worth your time to see it. Finally, they do have one particular sex scene between two puppets and may be disturbing to some people, while at the same time totally funny to people like me.

Overall, the movie is well worth watching unless you are easily offended. If you've liked South Park episodes, then you'll probably laugh out loud the entire time because the entire movie is full of gut bursting humor (especially their music they created). However, this movie is not for children, and is not a family movie.

Recommended: Yes
