VHS Moive Rview: Team America: World Police
MPAA rating: R; for graphic, crude & sexual humor, violent images & strong language - all involving puppets - taken directly form the library site. This film offends more people than Fritz the Cat and that got an X rating. I knew it would be like that, it's done by the "South Park" guys Trey Parker and Matt Stone. To call them irreverent does a disservice to the word. They think up the weirdest stuff that a 12 year old kid would and put it on film.
Though I have never seen a complete episode, the film is modeled after the Gerry Anderson series "Thunderbirds." They featured puppets going on adventures saving the planet.. Team America parodies the older series to absurd ends. In an attempt to kill the terrorists, Team America manages to destroy the landmarks the bad guys are trying to blow up. Plenty of politics and swear words to last a lifetime. I fast forwarded through the puppet sex scene and that made it even funnier.
For grown ups who can handle this kind of childish stunts, this will make you laugh and spill your popcorn. Coos Bay has the only VHS copy.
