Team America, an elite group of commandos, have a mission to travel the world, root out its terrorists, and keep evil at bay. While completing their missions, the heroes have a tendency to wreak havoc on the environment around them and find themselves the target of anti-war activists. World leaders are brought together for a peace rally through a joint effort by Kim Jong Il (North Korea's dictator) and the Film Actors Guild (F.A.G) headed by Alec Baldwin. However, Kim Jong Il has an ulterior motive and it's up to Team America to stop him.
Fans of South Park will probably enjoy this movie as it was written, directed, produced and voiced mostly by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The humor is similar in that it's intelligent but the delivery is crass. The underlying message is clear (try to offend as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time and be funny doing it) and I believe they achieved their goal. The portrayals of heroes, villains, protestors, actors, action films, etc. were over the top and tongue-in-cheek. I laughed out loud at some points and cringed at others. The amount of crap they dish out, especially toward actors, makes me wonder how Parker and Stone can show their faces at award shows without getting beat up. Their description of the relationship between a$$holes, pu$$ys and d!cks was classic. Pull out your cheesy poofs and enjoy some smart, dumb comedy.

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
