1) 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.2) Amazon.com
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

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) Loved it! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
It was great! It came quickly and I loved giving it as a gift!2) Vulgarity Overshadows Message [Rating: 2 out of 5]
Yes there were some great political barbs but who wrote this, a pimply group of 13 year old boys? The "gay" theme and constant swearing were just too much to stomach. A shame because it really was a great idea, but it was sunk by a very puerile script.3) one of the most funniest movie that I see ever [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I almost make piss on my pants when I see this movie, very funny, very sarcastic, and great special effects for a puppet movie. Great thing that has Spanish subtitles.Like South Park, you must have lots of general culture to enjoy some of the jokes, but in general everybody can laugh for hours with this movie, has the best sex scene that I see ever, and were puppets for god sake.Not cheat yourself, is a puppet movie but is not a movie for kids, in fact, has lots of black humor and jokes with double sense, definitely not a children movie.4) Awesome Daring Comedy! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This movie is real comic genius from the minds of Trey Parker & Matt Stone. Great Puppet work, great sets, great songs...awesome comedy!This is satire at it's best!5) A Brillient Almost Propaganda Related Film About Puppets [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This film was really, and I mean really hilarous! I keep watching it constantly and I almost have the quotes in my head by now! WARNING, POSSIBLE SPOILERS:It first starts off in Paris, Osama bin Laden and his gang of terrorists are trying to blow Paris up. But then Team America or TA for sort, shows up. TA while fighting the terrorists are the ones blowing the Effel Tower up along with other monuments. After Carson proposes to Lisa, his life is suddenly cut short when a terrorist kills him. Meanwhile the plot goes to New York, where a very talented broadway actor named Gary, is hired by the TA leader Spotswoode, to work as a spy to get info out of the terrorists in Cairo. Everyone seems to like him, except Chris, who for some reason mistrusts actors. They succed in killing the Chechinans, but it's not really the Chechnians who are in charge, the real villian here is Kim Jong Ill, better know as the strange leader of North Korea. He's planning to blow up the world and even manipulates a group of actors and actoress lead by Alec Balwden. On a more romantic note, Gary falls for Lisa, who is afraid to give her heart away in the fear of lossing someone she loves again. They consitmate their love, which I have no idea how they made the puppets have sex. Gary too is dealing with a lose from long again, his older brother, who was beaten to death by gorillas. Meanwhile, Sarah too likes Gary, and Joe likes Sarah. But Gary quits the team after finding out that they didn't stop anything really. And when the terroirst fired back by blowing up the Panama Canal. Then matters become worst when TA are captured by Kimmy (it's a nick name, don't ask) Well Kimmy even sings a song about how lonely he is and how there are people in the world that are less smarter then he is. Well anyways, it's now up to Gary, with the help of Spotswoode, to take on Kimmy and his allies, and save the world. This movie should have gotten a better review! But anyways, they have parodied this movie after the invasion of Iraq obviously! And they even put in a parodied country song, and a tribute to how Pearl Harbor, the movie, sucked. I recommed this to South Park fans such as myself! But I don't recommend it to close-minded people or children.
