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 Team America leader Spotswoode and fellow members Chris, Sarah, Lisa and Joe, 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 finally to the palace of power-mad dictator Kim Jong-Il, Team America criss-crosses the globe on a desperate mission to preserve the very fabric of civilization.

Only a DVD-buying pussy would choose anything but the version that you couldn't see in theaters, in which a guy and a girl puppet not only have sex but poo-poo and pee-pee on each other. How else are you supposed to access the film's deeper themes? Actually, there are no deeper themes, even though…

Why stop at calling Team America: World Police outrageously, gut-bustingly hilarious? It's also a ruthlessly clever musical, a punchy political parody and the hottest look ever at naked puppets -- the first film, porn included, in which a woody is actually made of wood. Those South Park mischief-makers -- director Trey Parker and co-screenwriter Matt Stone -- have produced their own Jerry Bruckheimer epic (think Armageddon and Pearl Harbor) using Chiodo brothers string puppets instead of Ben…
The catchy chorus of ''Americaaaa…f*** yeah!'' that bellows over an '80s guitar riff whenever our heroes in Team America take on turbaned terrorists, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il and Hollywood lefties, at the same time taking out the world's great landmarks with reckless abandon, brings to mind every lame Jerry Bruckheimer movie soundtrack ever made-and dovetails perfectly with the idea behind this latest lampooning of Washington and Hollywood by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt… |
