the DVD
Bluntly
speaking? Team America is an action-musical-screwy-balls-out comedy
spectacular extravaganza! You'll be snort laughing, and driven giddy by its 4th
frame. In fact you may wanna pack some adult diapers for the puppets' "sex"
scene in particular…which will go down in the anals, err, annals of history
as the wildest, okay the funniest, sex scene - ever...squared. Yes,
the film is 100% marionette puppets whopping terrorist ass, blatantly bigoting
their way through landmarks, while insulting every race, denomination, and country...but
it's in the name of komedy and the devilish madness is brought to us by those
mayhematarians of controversy Matt Stone, Pam Brady and Trey Parker - 'nough said?
Frankly,
there's sure to be some angry folks after viewing this sharp, bold, social satire
on stereotypes, celebrity worship, racism, terror and general shock-you gigglefest
- just listen to the title of the Team's theme, 'America! F%ck Yeah!'. Which reminds
me, parents be not lured into a family outing based on the dolls' patriotic red-white-and-blue
hero-like suits. These "cute little puppets" are foul-mouthed sea-shanty
singin' bawdeville dolls that would make John Waters snickerwince a hushed, "Oh,
my!" The youngin's best be left at home for this one. You on the other hand
are to RUN over - and feel free to laugh like the first time you saw 'South Park'!
Story goes… Team America
is hot on the trussed tail of would be terrorists who threaten to unleash terror
world-wide. We
join our oblivious ultra-violent heroes in mid-defendo mode as the battle a band
of terrorists strolling the Champs Elysees, carrying an ominous briefcase surely
filled with WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction). This is a Paris filled with every
French cliché the filmmakers could muster down to croissant shaped cobble
stone streets and poodle-poofed topiaries... Team
America wants world peace and they'll kill and destroy anything that gets in their
way…Hehehe. Chaos
among the Brie ensues, bullets fly and shoulder-launched missiles take down several
of Paris' older, more recognizable, monuments - oopsie. During the skirmish
the Team takes a blow to the heart - they loose one of their own in the massacre.
The Team's leader, Agent Spottswood,
knows there is only one man who can replace the lost man. He wants an actor. But
not just any actor, they need Brad Johnson, the world's greatest actor.
They'll need his "acting" skills to infiltrate the terrorists - convince
the Terrorists the "new guy in town" is working for them, as only a
topgun actor could do... After
much convincing, the actor-man agrees to be action-man and joins the Team. Off
they go to find the lead terror inducer. Naturally the Team starts in Egypt (it's
a laugh-at-racism satire remember). But victory is not theirs. The group is stunned
to discover they killed the wrong terrorists and the world is still on high alert.
The world, now angry at Team
America for their landmark destruction in both Paris and Cairo, turns to Alec
Baldwin and the Film Actors Guild aka F.A.G.. The
world feels Alec and his panel of peace-loving take-action actors can talk to
the terrorists and explain how being bad is bad.( <- the parodies here of Matt
Damon, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon no doubt have them on the phone
with their lawyers now) Meanwhile…way
over in North Korea a sad, angry, little dick-tator is truly plotting the end
of civilization, as we know it! (<- Insert maniacal laughter here please).
He too is interested in F.A.G.'s message… As
the world gets closer to its last day, the filmmakers leap into the land of diabolical
raunchiness! Every taboo (the team of Trey Parker and Matt Stone left behind in
Bigger, Longer, Uncut and can't get away with
on 'South Park') is touched upon. Enjoy this sinful pleasure. Snack
