One of our favorite movies

Current Mood:

Steve and I have seen "Team America" at least 5 times, and we STILL find the jokes hilarious :-).

If you've never heard of the movie, all the actors are puppets, a la The Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet. Basic plot: Terrorists are endangering the world's safety and it's Team America's responsibility to stop them. Team America recently lost one of their team members on a mission, so they get an broadway actor named Gary (the guy in front) to replace him.

One of the most famous parts of the movie is the puppet sex scene. It's sick :-). There's lots of swearing too--definitely not a movie for kids. Lots of politics in there as well.

But I love it because when you look past the irreverence, it's actually a brilliant parody of action films. And you soon realize as you watch it, only people who have a true understanding of the action movie genre and all its tools would be able to pull it off. You learn even more when you watch the dvd's special features. I think it's a really impressive project--Trey Parker and Matt Stone (same guys who created South Park) did a great job :-).
