Description
In TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE, a group of marionette puppets form Team America, an international police force dedicated to maintaining global stability. Discovering that a power hungry dictator, Kim Jong II, plans to destroy the world and is brokering weapons of mass destruction to terrorists, the team enlists the undercover help of Broadway star Gary Johnston and embarks on a harrowing mission to save the world. Opposed to this, is the Film Actors' Guild, or F.A.G., whose members include puppets representing actors Alec Baldwin, Tim Robbins, Matt Damon, Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn. In spite of the lack of support they receive, the team sticks to their plan of saving the world and putting an end to terrorism.

An elite U.S. counter-terrorism squad loses a member while decimating half of Paris in the reckless pursuit of Middle Eastern maniacs; a Broadway actor with a traumatic childhood secret is naturally hired to replace him. Oh--and they're all marionettes. South Park maestros Trey Parker and Matt Stone (along with co-writer Pam Brady) came up with this shameless satire of pea-brained Hollywood action flicks and even smaller-minded global politics, so don't expect subtlety or even a hint of good taste. Team America is soon on the trail of North Korea's evil Kim Jong Il, who treats us to a tender song about his loneliness before ensnaring Alec Baldwin and the rest of the oblivious Film Actors Guild (F.A.G. for short) in a plot to blow up every major city on the planet. Just as the mindless squad cheerfully demolishes everything in sight, so do director Parker and company. Throwing punches Left, Right, and in-between, the movie's politics leave no turn un-stoned; there's even time to bludgeon the musical Rent. It's offensive, irresponsible comic anarchy seemingly made by sniggering little boys. Painfully funny sniggering little boys.--Steve Wiecking

3 stars out of 4 December 18, 2008
The Bottom Line:
A cheerfully-irreverent satire which isn't afraid of going over the top, Team America targets the political status quo, the formulaic action film, and the musical "Rent," among other, in its (mostly sucessful) attempts to make us laugh.
 For lovers of the Film Actors Guild....... December 9, 2008
Great entertainment. Some of it may be "over the top" but that just adds the the humor. Between Kim Jung Il's rendition of "I'm so ronry" and the "puppet sex scene, this is very funny and not child friendly. Responsible parents wouldn't tempt their impressionables with this in the movie collection.

This movie is so poor that giving it one star seems to be almost overrating it.
It is not funny. It is full of grauitous crudity. I had heard that this was pretty funny by taking some shots at some of the ultra leftists. It did take on some of the Hollywood and media elitists, but that is totally overshadowed by the pointless vulgarity and extremely deviant sexual paraphilias. The only reason that I can fathom that writers would concoct something so bizarre is that their vocabularies and imaginations must be extremely limited.
I would not recommend this to anyone.

One of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. Watched it for the first time with my American friend (We both live in Scotland). A cynical but hilarious view of America as World Policeman.
