Combining the puppetry of the mid-1960s series THUNDERBIRDS with action/disaster flicks produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (TOP GUN, ARMAGEDDON, PEARL HARBOR), Parker and Stone tell the story of a small group of heroic figures who span the globe protecting democracy and freedom against terrorism. Along the way, they destroy such famous international landmarks as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Sphinx in Egypt, and the Panama Canal. All the while they are developing close relationships that lead to love, jealousy, and betrayal. Their primary mission is to stop North Korean leader Kim Jong Il's peace conference, which is a ruse to allow him to attack the rest of the world with his weapons of mass destruction. Team America must also take on F.A.G., the Film Actors Guild, which is supporting the peace conference, including such participants as Alec Baldwin, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, George Clooney, and other actors who have spoken out against the war in Iraq (but did not agree to be spoofed in the film). Parker and Stone reserve a special message for FAHRENHEIT 9/11 director Michael Moore, and even former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix shows up. Among the very funny--and very dirty--songs in the film are "Everyone Has AIDS" (from the Broadway musical LEASE), "Only a Woman" (about homosexuality), and "I'm So Ronery" (Kim Jong Il's soaring solo). Despite having no actual humans in it, the movie earns its R rating with lots of blood, very adult language, and a steamy puppet sex scene. [More]

Utterly vile, purposefully malicious and just stone brilliant a good deal of the time, Team America: World Police contains something to offend virtually everybody. Yes, even you.

There are laughs here, some resulting from sharp satirical observations and some from gross-out gags.

The South Park team's sendup of Hollywood action epics and the war on terror is at once admirably furious and sophomorically infuriating.

Like a cocky teenager who's had a couple of drinks before the party, [Parker and Stone] don't have a plan for who they want to offend, only an intention to be as offensive as possible.

These filmmakers do know what's funny, but they don't know when it stops being funny.

In terms of logistics and overall filmmaking, this is a quantum leap over anything the team has previously attempted.

non-stop, unadulterated raunchiness, with a handful of parodies and unwholesome musical numbers thrown in for good measure.

A smart movie trapped in the body of a dead-end action flick.

Hilarious, yes; but one can almost already hear the film's rousing theme song, 'America: F--ck Yeah!,' blasting unironically from boom boxes across the country...

...an occasionally hilarious, frequently anemic parody that misses its opportunity to permanently document a scathing critique of current events.

To put it gently, this makes "Bad Santa" look positively angelic.

[Team America: World Police is] a roller coaster ride that works most of the time and keeps the laughs coming.

If this movie offends or shocks you, then the past couple seasons of South Park will kill you.
