Team America: World Police

[wolf]

Went to see this tonight in a joint Forks/Cellar outing. My only regret is that the theater wasn't anything approaching full (there were three clumps of people), atlhough we may have actually benefitted in that none of the lines were overly stepped on and made unintelligible by laughter.

Team America is, as you should know, unless you've been living under a rock somewhere, or in France, the latest cinematic wonder by the makers of South Park.

And oh what a wonder it is!

Puppet Porn aside (and there's a fair amount), Matt Stone and Trey Park go after the Hollywierd Liberal Elite with thier usual scapel-like incisive wit. It was unique, refreshing, and not at all like South Park, although Kim Jung Il does bear superficial resemblance to Eric Cartman.

There are some great running gags in the movie, and I think they managed to use every spy and war movie cliche out there.

One thing that the commercials do not let you know is that Team America is a delightful around the world musical romp. I now have to get the soundtrack so that I may ride to work with the catchy "America, Fuck yeah!" theme heralding my arrival at the lunatic asylum.
