When North Korean ruler Kim Jong-il orchestrates a global terrorist plot, it's up to the heavily armed, highly specialized Team America unit to stop his dastardly scheme. The group, which has recruited troubled Broadway actor Gary Johnston, not only has to face off against Jong-il, but they must also contend with the Film Actors Guild, a cadre of Hollywood liberals at odds with Team America's "policing the world" tactics.

hyped garbage
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Totally hilarious, I don't watch many comedy movies, saw this come on one of the premium channels late one night, knew nothing about it and laughed from start to finish! I think they should make a sequel and have the same nemesis's offspring squaring of against Donald Trump. It ended with real possibilities for a sequel or series of movies. One ridiculous moment after another; let the good times roll and bring on a sequel! Thumbs up
After a successful operation to prevent a terrorist outrage in Paris, where they destroy the Eifel Tower and the Louvre, defenders of the free world Team America lose one of their members moments after he proposed to the women he loves. This leaves the team a man short so their leader, Spotswood, approaches stage actor Gary Johnston to join the team for their next mission which will require both his acting and linguistic skills to infiltrate a terrorist group in Egypt. The mission is a success but the celebrations are short lived as the terrorists commit an atrocity in Panama in revenge public opinion, especially that of liberal Hollywood actors, turns against Team America and Gary can't go on thinking his hero Alec Baldwin holds him in contempt. While he hits rock bottom the rest of the team go off to tackle the terrorists but are captured by North Korea's Kim Jong-il who is secretly behind the terrorists and is planning to destroy western civilisation. If freedom and democracy are to survive Gary will have to prove he has what it takes.Since this is from the creators of 'South Park' few viewers will be shocked by the fact that it is quite crude at times nor will they be surprised at how funny it is despite the fact that everything is played straight in fact much of the time that is what makes it so funny. The film delightfully sends up Hollywood action movies where Americans defeat bad guys around the world and the liberal sensitivities of many in Hollywood. The use of puppets was a stroke of genius as it just served to make everything even funnier. The puppets are very much of the 'Gerry Anderson' style so people who grew up watching shows like 'Captain Scarlet' and 'Thunderbirds' should love the way they look and move. I enjoyed the way Kim Jong-il was portrayed like the villain in 'The Spy Who Loved Me' feeding Hans Blix to his sharks! Overall I'd recommend this to anybody wanting plenty of politically incorrect laughs.
This is probably the funniest movie I've ever seen and I wouldn't be surprised if it was the funniest ever made. The movie is done with puppets. That's mainly why it's so funny. One of the funniest scenes, if not the funniest scene is where these two puppets have sex in a variety of positions. That made me laugh harder than I think I ever have at anything else. There are outrageous hilarious lines in this. The creators of it are the creators of South Park and they are very brilliant and hilarious guys. This movie is hilarious in the extreme. Given the comedic genius of South Park, it isn't surprising this is so funny.
To start off: this is from Trey Parker & Matt Stone, so unless you've been living under a rock your whole life, you know they created South Park, which is in my opinion, one of the funniest & most relevant shows ever made.Now, to start off: don't go into this movie thinking it's patriotic, because it's everything but that. Even in their song "America, f*ck yeah!", they showcase every American stereotype, like being gun happy, being ignorant, & more. I'm not against America, but I will admit, this country is imperfect, & this film shows that.This film has some pretty good puppetry. I know that was brief, but I kinda have nothing else to say about the puppetry. Anyway, Trey & Matt aren't the only voice actors in this movie, there's also Maurice Lamarche, Jeremy Shada, & Daran Norris as Spotswood. Spotswood is one of the funniest characters in this film in my opinion, probably because when I hear the voice of Cosmo, Jorgan Von Strangle, & Timmy's Dad talking about someone sucking his dick, it just makes me laugh. I guess I'm a sick bastard.The songs are also hilarious, from "America, F*ck Yeah!", to "Everyone Has AIDS!", to "I'm So Ronry", it's all hilarious.So, in the end, this movie ultimately shows that Trey Parker & Matt Stone couldn't suck at entertainment if they tried, & Team America: World Police gets 10/10
