| Frankly,
I needed this laugh! We Americans definitely needed this laugh. As
rude and crude as it was, Team America is, first and foremost, a satire
. . . not to be taken seriously, but to cause us to laugh at ourselves.
We are bombarded on every side with the War on Terror. It's in our
thoughts, on our minds, blaring on our TV news everyday, and it's
driving us crazy! |

| SYNOPSIS
|
| Team
America, an international police force dedicated to maintaining global
stability, learns that a power hungry dictator is brokering weapons
of mass destruction to terrorists. The heroes embark upon a harrowing
mission to save the world. To infiltrate the terrorist network, Team
America recruits Gary Johnston, a rising star on Broadway, to go undercover.
Although initially reluctant to sacrifice his promising career, Gary
realizes that his acting gift is needed for a higher cause. With the
help of fellow Team America members, Chris, Sarah, Lisa, Joe and Spottswoode,
Gary slips into an arms dealer's hideout where he discovers that the
terrorists' plot has already begun to unfold. From the pyramids of
Cairo to the Panama Canal and the finally to the palace of power-mad
dictator, Kim Jong II, Team America criss-crosses the globe on a desperate
mission to preserve the very fabric of civilization. |
 Review
by CHRIS UTLEY
 Lock
your windows! Shut your doors! Hold on to your popcorn buckets!
Those South Park boys (Trey Parker and Matt Stone) are back to terrorize
your multiplex in Team America: World Police. Rude, crude, and laugh-out-loud
funny, Team America is without a doubt the wildest puppet show ever.

 Review
by KEVIN MILLER
I’ll
admit it: At times during this film, I laughed out loud. These
guys, who are infamous for creating South Park, definitely know
what’s funny. Many of the physical gags in this film are
hilarious. Even some of the “straight” sequences,
which would probably be either disturbing or mundane if carried
out by human actors, bring forth a chuckle just because they are
performed by marionettes. Incidentally, the fact that Trey Parker
and Matt Stone chose to go with puppets should not be surprising,
seeing as their flagship show is nothing but animated paper cut-outs.
These guys are not afraid to try new things—and they often
succeed. It doesn’t hurt that the puppets, sets, direction,
and special effects in Team America are all superb.

 Review
by ED TRAVIS
Team
America is a movie that will
undoubtedly elicit a reaction from its viewers. What that reaction
may be comes down to the individual . . . but it is doubtful that
one could come out of the film without some strong opinions. This
is the intent of the filmmakers, I believe, as it seems Trey Parker
and Matt Stone were attempting to skewer just about everyone possible
in this film!
