Info

When North Korean ruler Kim Jong-il orchestrates a global terrorist plot, it's up to the heavily armed, highly specialized Team America unit to stop his dastardly scheme. The group, which has recruited troubled Broadway actor Gary Johnston, not only has to face off against Jong-il, but they must also contend with the Film Actors Guild, a cadre of Hollywood liberals at odds with Team America's "policing the world" tactics.

Team America: World Police Audience Reviews

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
jacobjohntaylor1 This movie is awful. It is badly written. It is sick and wired. I when do comedy fans get sick of the crape being fed to them and stop thinking it's funny. This is one of the worst comedies ever do not see it. It is awful. Who ever wrote it has no talent. The acting is awful. It is the worst movie ever.
JayPatton88 Totally hilarious, I don't watch many comedy movies, saw this come on one of the premium channels late one night, knew nothing about it and laughed from start to finish! I think they should make a sequel and have the same nemesis's offspring squaring of against Donald Trump. It ended with real possibilities for a sequel or series of movies. One ridiculous moment after another; let the good times roll and bring on a sequel! Thumbs up
jimbo-53-186511 Broadway actor Gary Johnston is selected for a covert mission by Spottiswoode who is the head of a counter-terrorist organisation AKA Team America. Spottiswoode selects Johnston as he believes that Johnston's excellent acting skills will be a key asset to his organisation in helping to uncover information about a planned terrorist attack which is being orchestrated in Cairo. Spottiswoode (along with the assistance of his team) sends Johnston to Cairo to put his acting skills to good use by infiltrating the terrorist's plans and ultimately help Team America prevent a potential world disaster.When done right films like Team America can be a breath of fresh air which can provide a bit of escapism. They give Joe Public the opportunity to forget about real world problems and try to essentially laugh in the face of adversity. For me, these sort of satires have to have a modicum of intelligence to really work and despite Team America having its moments a lot of this fell flat for me....I found, at times, that Team America actually fell victim to its own satire; this is highlighted in the clichéd melodrama that we see between Lisa and Johnston. We're presented with a heavy on/off romance between the two characters, but it's never shown in an amusing or ironic way which seemed strange as it's supposed to be a satire. The character failings are further evidenced with everyone welcoming Johnston with open arms except the one tough guy who doesn't trust him. Stuff like this always seems at odds with what the whole point of the film is and again in all of this I saw very few examples of good satire.I also found that Parker used the wrong approach with Kim Jong Il - whilst I'm prepared to accept that the character they presented us with is probably a fairly accurate presentation of Kim Jong Il (albeit in an exaggerated sense) I just didn't find his character funny and again perhaps it's because he was portrayed in an obvious and mostly serious way rather than in a satirical way.It's not all bad though and Team America does have some very good moments; the scene between the United Nations bloke and Kim Jong Il was one of the better examples of satire. I have to admit that my childish side did find the F.A.G gag to be funny as well - although it may be quite offensive to some of those who 'get' the joke. Johnston's moment where he 'takes one for the team' was also amusing. Oh yeah and the puppet sex is also pretty funny!!Team America isn't a total waste of time and it's fairly short running time means that it is a tolerable film at the very least. However, it's wildly uneven and sadly only a few gags worked for me (with only one gag being a truly good example of satire). There are very few laughs on offer here and sadly a handful of funny gags in a film that's close to 100 minutes simply isn't good enough. Fans of South Park may enjoy it, but I found it to be a film which missed more than it hit.
boriscajamarca001 I was just browsing what good movies they have on on Netflix and I found Team America World Police so I checked it out and guess what? It totally kicked ass! Way to go Team America, you just save the whole world from danger. The action was so awesome and it was funny. Although, it was created by the creators of South Park and I don't really like South Park, Trey Parker did pretty damn great on these movie. Including the writers too. Gary's quote in the near end was the best and funniest quote in film history. Finally, something without South Park characters although it does has some references to the show but who cares, it's ass kicking and gut busting hilarious. I strongly recommend you guy to check this movie out. Aware their are a lot of cursing and bloody violence (for anybody who heard of it and wanting to check it out) But my opinion is I LOVED IT.
