Team America: World Police

Last night Phil, Robyn and myself went to see the new Trey Parker/Matt Stone film, “Team America: World Police,” and we all walked away thoughroughly entertained.

It’s basically a rip off of every action film ever made, but done with puppets, and they don’t even try to hide the fact that they’re puppets neither… It’s about a US-based team of anti-terrorism cops who patrol the world tracking down terrorists and WMD’s. So cue some insanely funny moments, literally side splitting on many, many occasions, which include, but are not limited to puppets engaging in explicit sex, a hero who vomits a disgusting amount of foul liquid and the brutal execution of several Hollywood liberals.

Even simply silly monents are inadvertantly funny, like the main female lead trying to point at the male lead’s heart, but missing and then looking down at her hand. The level of detail in each of the puppets is pretty extraordinary, all the celebrities look like themselves (and they really dislike Matt Damon, as the only words he says is “Matt Damon”). Another funny thing is the rocking soundtrack and the song “America, Fuck Yeah!” in particular.

This gets the highest recommendation I can give, as long as you’re not easily offended…
