I saw the movie last night, it was hilarious, and I'm not even a huge fan of south park or anything like that. What's up with all of the liberal losers giving bad ratings to this movie. These people clearly have a large stick up their anus, and they have no sense of humor.

Unless you have a large stick up your anus or live in dirkadirkastan, you should go see the movie, you will laugh, it is pretty funny.

[turtle777]

I have seen the trailer. It looked ok, but didn't really make me wanna see the movie real bad.
I dunno, maybe it was just not feeling the puppet thing...

The puppets are cool, and work very well in the film.

They work almost too well, because the film only barely got an R rating. It would've been NC-17, if they didn't cut out a few steamy shots.

Go to any movie review site where readers give reviews. (IMDB.COM, rottentomatoes etc.)

You'll see like 10 reviews praising the movie, giving it top slot, then along comes 1 or 2 lame reviews blasting the movie, from some whiny liberals, or perhaps a F.A.G. member. Then there's 10 more excellent reviews, and 1 or 2 more whiny liberals wrestling with their anus stick. That's pretty much the pattern.

Yeah. I've got to hand it to them for sticking it to Sean Penn and Tim Robbins, much as I like their acting they deserved to be taken down a peg. I want to see this movie but haven't had a chance yet. The only really legitimate complaint I've heard is that ultimately the movie doesn't have much of a message.

Any list that starts with the New York Post loses me.

There's stuff in the film that can not be disputed-images and interviews that are not manipulated. I'm all for keeping Michael Moore accountable, but the same goes for the current administration.

That said, I'm dying to see Team America, looks fun- I love the Kim Jong Il..

I can see uptight liberals disliking it, same with uptight conservatives who already don't like South Park and likely won't like a lot of the content in this film.

[MacNStein]

Originally posted by olePigeon:

It was about 60/40, leaning more towards bashing Liberals. I actually liked it more than I thought I would, since I hate South Park. The Hollywood and Moore attacks were by far the best.

[MrBS]

I thought the movie was pretty lame. As a disclaimer, I'm fairly liberal and can get a kick out of poop and dick jokes. I thought Baseketball was comic genius.

I thought they had some good trimmings on Team America; the off the wall goofy stuff was funny, the puppet sex was funny, the caricatures were kinda funny... but they didn't have any real message. I'm not saying they didn't have a message I liked, they just didn't seem to have any real message.

Basically the whole point was "Everyone's retarded". It doesn't even do a "Everyone's retarded because of _______" or "Everyone's retarded, they should _______", they just kind of made fun of everyone (not in a good, thought-provoking way, just glancing blows and fill-in-a-random-name jokes). They made fun of actors and moore for... expressing opinions? They made fun of war hawks for... blowing up more stuff than they need to? They made fun of terrorists for... I dunno I missed that part. The one really good slam they got was on Ben Affleck, and that was weak because the rest of the movie didn't have any point. If they had a real message and were driving it home the completely unprovoked ben affleck bash would have been good comic relief, but when it's one of the most substantive scenes it kind of falls flat. Like I said, they had good window dressing and comic relief, but it was racing stripes on a gremlin. Nothing's going on there.

If I somehow missed the whole point of the movie (assuming it was more than their dick/pussy/asshole metaphor, which was pretty weak) please enlighten me, 'cause there's no way I'm going to sit through it again even if it shows up on cable.

As a liberal loser that would give it a terrible rating, what was funny about it? Was there a message in the movie? Messages? If so what? I have a fairly developed sense of humor and can laugh at most anything, even self deprecating stuff. There were a few chuckle scenes, the puppet sex being one of them. I came into the movie ready to love it. I left thinking it was a lame waste of my time and a waste of a trey/matt vehicle to say SOMETHING. Thought all their other movies (Basketball, Orgasmo, South Park) were funny. What am I missing? Did you really wet yourself because they showed that moore was fat? Or F.A.G.? (okay that was funny the first time they spelled it out) I really can't see someone liking this movie without them merely using it as an outlet for their vitriolic hatred of the left. Not saying they scored good points on the left, or made a good point that wasn't pro-left, they just didn't make any points. They made caricatures of a bunch of leftists public figures, which could serve as a target if you really needed to wing tomatoes, but you're making your own entertainment there. Whatever melts your butter, but I'd really like to know what you liked about the movie.

~BS

[Mithras]

I thought it was very funny. I loved the satire of "Lease", and the poking fun at acting in general ("Without an actor, we were like pigs to the slaughter!"), and the send-up of Hollywood types ("And then everyone will drive hybrid cars!") And all of the puppet stuff was just hysterical.

Call me old-fashioned, but I found the one-by-one disgusting deaths of living Hollywood actors (by name) a little sick. Trey & Matt have some serious issues. What compelled them to lovingly spend 25 minutes wrenching the heads off of Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Samuel Jackson, etc? It was a little personal and weird.

P.S. Tom Hanks sat behind me! Don't know whether he liked it, but he was laughing.

It DOESN'T have much of a message. Now you know it. Go watch it.

It's all those incorrect fantasies that you have had about action films, realized.

[Ghoser777]

Here's some messages I got:

1) American "world police" mentality pisses off the rest of the world (and terrorists for that matter)

2) Wacko "liberals" end up being co-opted by a crazy wacko dictator in reaction to the world police mentality, almost causing a massive terrorist attack.

3) Pissing off terrorists caused part of an attack to start earlier than planned, allowing Team America to undermine the whole terrorist plot.

4) Something about dick's, pussy's and bung-holes.


I found it interesting how everything tied together, that both conservative and liberal policies where doing things that were undermining the country's security. So maybe one message is that we shouldn't piss off everyone by being the world's police, but we also shouldn't allow ourselves to be arguing for our enemies when debating current policy.

It was just entertaining to watch, nobodys claiming it's a deep movie. A lot of people I can't stand died in the movie, and of course I find this funny. Too bad it was just puppets.

Why does a movie have to have a message to be worth seeing? It's a comedy. It's designed to make you laugh. Mostly, it's a send-up of Bruckheimer-esque action film atrocities like "Armageddon."

I guess you could derive a message: some action films are bad, m'kay.

Kinda funny, more of a theme than a joke. Worth a slight chuckle if it's not one of the main drives of the movie

Blowing up the eiffel tower, louvre, french buildings = Funny

Kinda funny throw away jokes, would be funny if it was just in the background.

Liberal losers & traitors all dying at the end = damn funny

meh. Think it would have been funnier if it had a point. I like something more in my satire than just putting a 'rush limbaugh' name tag on something and kicking the shit out of it.

puppet sex = funny

Yes. Great comic relief scene. Taking a break from... all the lame jokes that were missing?

arabs/muslims in the movie and their mohammed/jihad language = damn funny

i guess if that's what gets a good laugh out of you...

korean talk/kim jung il = funny

same as above... kim jung il was kind of funny for awhile though

Michael moore getting his huge body splattered all over the place =priceless

Think this has a lot more to do with you than the movie

The broadway guy transforms into a terrorist with the help of a towel and some randomly placed black cotton on his face = damn funny

Again, another decent throw away joke. This is not the stuff to build a movie off of.

It was just entertaining to watch, nobodys claiming it's a deep movie. A lot of people I can't stand died in the movie, and of course I find this funny. Too bad it was just puppets.

Maybe that's my problem. Trey and Matt usually seem to have a point in most of their stuff, and with the movie's title and the timing of the release I went in expecting to see their views on the situation. I expected lots of crass humor and random violence and stuff added just to push the envelope. I thought it would be funny. But I think most the people that like this movie are probably the ones that will just lap up the puppet deaths. Like I said, an outlet for some pent up rage. You're reduced to cheering the puppet deaths because it's hard to make a valid, substantive point against the target's messages.

That's my take at least.

Wake up.

It's targeting both sides Einstein. But if they attacked ANYONE the most, it was the self-imprtant left wing Hollywood nutjob crowd. THEY got attacked the most

Before this movie came out so many people ASSUMED it was going to be a Bush bash-athon.

A lot of people were pissed that was not. In other forums I post in I even had a few people say they were going to PICKET outside their movie theatre in disgust of their portrayals of righteous people like Michael Moore!

Sean Penn has already taken to the ramparts, fuming at the movie's depiction of him and lamenting its right-wing message which will "encourage irresponsibility that will ultimately lead to the disembowelment, mutilation, exploitation, and death of innocent people throughout the world.

From what he just said, it looks like the got his SPOT on with their depiction.

They did bash those pretentious Hollywood jokes though.

and that is what I liked about it. He basically put them in their place.

Sean Penn didn't like it too well.

Too bad.
