Team America, an international police force dedicated to maintaining global stability, learns that a power hungry dictator is brokering weapons of mass destruction to terrorists. The heroes embark upon a harrowing mission to save the world. To infiltrate the terrorist network, Team America recruits Gary Johnston, a rising star on Broadway, to go undercover. Although initially reluctant to sacrifice his promising career, Gary realizes that his acting gift is needed for a higher cause. With the help of Team America leader Spottswoode and fellow members Chris, Sarah, Lisa and Joe, Gary slips into an arms dealer's hideout where he discovers that the terrorists' plot has already begun to unfold. From the pyramids of Cairo to the Panama Canal and finally to the palace of power mad dictator Kim Jong II, Team America crisis-crosses the globe on a desperate mission to preserve the very fabric of civilization.

Team America: World Police review by PJ
The height of political correctness and and long overdue
(2) of (2) members found this review helpful.
Team America is the latest offering from the South Park team and it's all done with puppets. It cruelly satirises both America's self-imposed role in policing the world and the left-wing Hollywood actors that protest against it. Add to this, Kim Jong Il singing 'I'm Wonewy (lonely)' around his Korean palace and you have a feast of bad taste and laugh out loud moments.
Not one for the kids or granny, the puppetry is flawless but the script is very much adult material - even to the obligatory puppet sex scene. If you like your humour black and you think world politics is pointless, then this film will hit all the right buttons.
Apart from the South Park creators, there are no big names attached to this film, it manages to offend just about every big name in Hollywood along the way and, boy, haven't we waited long enough for that to happen.

Team America: World Police review by Jawbreaker
Growing Tired
(1) of (2) members found this review helpful.
Being a fan of South Park in its early days, Team American recycles the same gags and voices albeit in a new form. The technical aspect of World Police is great, what they've acheived with the puppets is impressive, especially North Korea's Dear Leader. As a comedy it is hit and miss, often plummeting into the gutter and throwing in songs when all else fails.

sheer joy - brilliant movie!

This movie should give all intelligent people hope that the people of America are not all fundamental christian brain dead amoebas who think jeus was suckled by a T-rex.
Great writing, great everything. Proof that, although some - maybe most - americans are idiots bible-bashers, there are some serious brains on that continent!
A breath of fresh air - and sheer joy! I could watch this movie over and over again! Congratulations Mr Stone et al...
