Team America: World Police
“A bizarre synthesis of Delta Force, every sports movie ever made, and the crazed antics of South Park’s whacked out creators, Team America: World Police grabs you by the shorties and tickles hard.”
That’s what I’d write if Rolling Stone asked me for a blurb on this film. But since you are unlikely to see my smiling byline inside the covers, I’ll put my review up in this space. Which, by the way, costs you not one dime, and doesn’t make you feel guilty about anything.
TA:WP Is chock full of potty mouth, juvenile humor, lampooning imperialist America with every string jerked frame. Amazed that the elements of the original Thunderbirds tv show were not used for last summer’s craptacular flop, the Demented Duo started production on TA:WP some 2 1/2 years ago. Oddly enough, the movie is even funnier today than it would hae been then, given the tone and feel of today’s current events (read more about their take on the genre here.)
If you’ve ever hated a pretentious millionaire actor, especially those whose paychecks have emboldened them with a faux social conscience, this is the movie for you.
If you want to see stuff blow up, this is the movie for you.
If you have even a mild dislike for the French, this may be the movie for you.
And if you’ve ever lain awake at night, thinking about hot, puppet on puppet action, well, this is the movie for you
