 I knew this would be a hilarious movie from the first time I saw the preview, so my pal Chris and I had to go opening weekend. I'm actually a fan of Thunderbirds, the 60s TV series filmed in "Super-Marionation" that inspired the idea for Team America, so it was a blast to see them specifically do lots of things to spoof the series (for example, marionettes can't walk convincingly, so they go out of their way to make them hop around and kick their legs out in a goofy way). The story is completely full-on harsh satire, full of bloody violence, sex, and lots of F-bombs (including the awesome Team America theme song, America - F*ck Yeah!). Trey Parker and Matt Stone definitely know how to go over the top brilliantly - there are moments where the audience was just continuously laughing even when nothing was really going on! The action scenes are really great - lots of famous monuments of the world get blown-up, and you haven't seen a fight scene until you see marionettes fight. This definitely isn't a movie for everyone, but if you can just step back and take the time to laugh your ass off at the world around us, you're going to love Team America!Labels: movies |
