Where do I begin.. how does Team America get such a high rating for starters?!
Team America - a social commentary, biting satire, a dose of gross-out humor and all with puppets. Gotta give them points for originality...if they pulled it off properly, maybe.
Honestly I was expecting a lot more laughs out of this film, coming from the makers of South Park. There is plenty of sick humor that is just so, so wrong (I hope that's the first and last time I ever see puppets engaging in all forms of intercourse and fetishes), but after the first joke it gets old real fast. For the rest of the movie we're treated to lame musical numbers and drawn out dialog scenes, far from being totally tongue-in-cheek, it all seems to be taking itself pretty seriously. Which isn't very funny...
Perhaps the only redeeming feature of the movie are the puppets themselves and the sets, visually it's pretty impressive seeing what they were able to achieve.
In conclusion, stay away unless you're some die-hard South Park fan. Not much here otherwise!
