Team America: World Police
When North Korean ruler Kim Jong-il orchestrates a global terrorist plot, it's up to the heavily armed, highly specialized Team America unit to stop his dastardly scheme. The group, which has recruited troubled Broadway actor Gary Johnston, not only has to face off against Jong-il, but they must also contend with the Film Actors Guild, a cadre of Hollywood liberals at odds with Team America's "policing the world" tactics.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
These guys took out a leader of North Korea on film, way before "The Interview" from Rogen and Franco. Everyone in this film is ridiculed on all sides(SNL in 2017 should take notes), and I mean EVERYONE.It was very timely for the post 9/11 era, and it does a great job of showcasing the absurdities of everything from country singers cashing in with sappy songs on tragedies, really uninformed patriotism or apathy for what is going on in the world, idiotic self-righteous leftists and Hollywood clowns like Alec Baldwin/Tim Robbins/Matt Damon, etc. with some sex and vomiting and puppet fight scenes that you can't help but crack a smile at.The Film Actors Guild idea was truly brilliant. The songs are hysterical, and now a pop culture throwback reference to most Americans. TEAM America!!! F*** YEAH!! HERE TO SAVE THE MOTHERF***** DAY YEAH!!!!Kim Jong was never more lovable!!! "DO SOMETHING AWEC BODWIN!!!"
I love the fact that they made this a marionette film. It's beautifully executed, in that they both highlight how it's a craft that can be done well, but also highlighting it in its awkwardness. They respect the strings, but never go out of their way to hide them. This alone is a good reason to watch this movie.That said, it's also a fun satire, done in the juvenile way that Trey Parker and Matt Stone has perfected. There's not layers upon layers to dig through of meaning, but there is a heart in the movie that's integrated into the crude jokes about sex and violence. By lowering our expectations, they manage to open us up to (something like) a moral reflection when we least expect it. They've done this for years on South Park, and it works just as well here. It's even true for their musical, The Book of Mormon.It's also a delight how they're able to poke fun at pretty much everything, and how they're able to do in a technically interesting format. Even though I like South Park, I wish they would spend more time on projects like this.
This is the funniest movie, I have ever seen. South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone show their true genius in this vulgar politically incorrect parody of the American might. Using puppets reminiscent of the old kids show "Thunderbirds" worked especially well. They don't even try to hide the puppet strings or aim for realism. They do in in a cheesy way on purpose, and it works.The puppet sex scene hurt my stomach, because everyone in the room was laughing so hard it became infectious and no one could stop.If you are not a prude and enjoy irreverent satire, (which never loses steam) then Team America World Police is for you.
I was just browsing what good movies they have on on Netflix and I found Team America World Police so I checked it out and guess what? It totally kicked ass! Way to go Team America, you just save the whole world from danger. The action was so awesome and it was funny. Although, it was created by the creators of South Park and I don't really like South Park, Trey Parker did pretty damn great on these movie. Including the writers too. Gary's quote in the near end was the best and funniest quote in film history. Finally, something without South Park characters although it does has some references to the show but who cares, it's ass kicking and gut busting hilarious. I strongly recommend you guy to check this movie out. Aware their are a lot of cursing and bloody violence (for anybody who heard of it and wanting to check it out) But my opinion is I LOVED IT.
