Review – Team America: World Police

For the most part this plays like an extended episode of Robert Smigel’s “Go Lords” with a big dose of Parker/Stone humor thrown in. In other words, it’s puppets that have sex, barf and swear. A lot. On the other hand, it has a few funny moments, such as when a couple of members of Team America are attacked by housecats. And it’s nice to see anyone with the guts to mock the witless pseudo-patriotism that’s captured the nation’s attention of late. This isn’t insightful social commentary by a long shot, but as vulgar amusement I guess I’ve seen worse. Or at least more pointless. Mildly amusing
