Details

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.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
keelhaul-80856 These guys took out a leader of North Korea on film, way before "The Interview" from Rogen and Franco. Everyone in this film is ridiculed on all sides(SNL in 2017 should take notes), and I mean EVERYONE.It was very timely for the post 9/11 era, and it does a great job of showcasing the absurdities of everything from country singers cashing in with sappy songs on tragedies, really uninformed patriotism or apathy for what is going on in the world, idiotic self-righteous leftists and Hollywood clowns like Alec Baldwin/Tim Robbins/Matt Damon, etc. with some sex and vomiting and puppet fight scenes that you can't help but crack a smile at.The Film Actors Guild idea was truly brilliant. The songs are hysterical, and now a pop culture throwback reference to most Americans. TEAM America!!! F*** YEAH!! HERE TO SAVE THE MOTHERF***** DAY YEAH!!!!Kim Jong was never more lovable!!! "DO SOMETHING AWEC BODWIN!!!"
Tweekums 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.
Alexander Pezzano When this movie came out, I absolutely hated it! I thought it was just a cheap money grab and it was terrible, well, that's when I had a wife and a kid. But I decided to watch it myself and see how it is (because I was ready to throw it away) and guess what. I absolutely loved it! Just that first song made me sing along and all the jokes in it were hilarious! The story it pretty simple and a G I joe clone but just better.Most people take this movie for granted saying its over rated and used and all that crap (mostly because they were just church scientists ;) ) but don't listen to them.That being said, this is Not a family film and I have no plans for my son watching this until he's 18, but watch it with your mates and your cousins and you'll be fineReally great movie, 10/10. A masterpieceSee you next time, Alex
boriscajamarca001 I was just browsing what good movies they have on on Netflix and I found Team America World Police so I checked it out and guess what? It totally kicked ass! Way to go Team America, you just save the whole world from danger. The action was so awesome and it was funny. Although, it was created by the creators of South Park and I don't really like South Park, Trey Parker did pretty damn great on these movie. Including the writers too. Gary's quote in the near end was the best and funniest quote in film history. Finally, something without South Park characters although it does has some references to the show but who cares, it's ass kicking and gut busting hilarious. I strongly recommend you guy to check this movie out. Aware their are a lot of cursing and bloody violence (for anybody who heard of it and wanting to check it out) But my opinion is I LOVED IT.
