Movie Review: Team America: World Police

The Hook: A comedy/adventure aimed to skew political and entertainment figures. (Including, but not limited to, Michael Moore of “Farenheit 9/11″ fame…)

The Score: B-

The Thoughts:

From the makers of South Park, which I’ll admit I’m not a fan, I pretty much knew what to expect with this movie. Jib jabs at anyone and everyone, immaturity, juvenile humor, etc. So none of the purile jokes surprised me, really. I WAS, however, surprised by the incredible job the creators did, considering they were working entirely with puppets. Who knew a puppet could show so many different emotions?!? Steven Seagal, watch your back!

While it was funny in a number of parts, especially the songs, there were also quite a few scenes which I just had to turn my head and grimace out of embarassment. And when you do THAT, my friend, you just know you’re not gonna be recommending this movie to anyone, under any circumstances. I mean, a nude (and explicit) puppet love-making scene?!? Holy Geppeddo, people!! Was that REALLY necessary!! Crud…
