Advantages: Funny, hilarious, sick and twisted
Disadvantages: Will not be to everyone's taste

...Imagine, if you will, a world where it is not only you having your strings pulled by your boss, imagine a world where everyone in it has strings attached to all of their body and are made of wood. If you can do this you, are well on the way to having a mental image of what the world of ‘Team America: World Police’ looks like! ‘Team America’ is the latest film from Trey Parker and Mike Stone, the creators of South Park (which I really hate!). They have taken the sensibilities of South Park and put them into a world of supermarionation, or puppets. ‘Team America’ is the brains behind the adultification of kiddies cartoons doing their take on Thunderbirds. It is sick, twisted, foul-mouthed, full of violence and absolutely hilarious! Not since Peter Jackson’s ‘Meet The Feebles’ has there been a film that subverts your memories... Read review

...It may suprise some people, but America have actually got a pretty good record in World Cup. The USA were involved in some of the very first World Cups in the 1930s, some twenty years before England or any other home nation did so themselves. They cannot kid themselves that they invented the game though, and the truth now is they are really not very good. A spectacularly bad performance in France ’98 where they lost all their games and worse still losing to Iran is hopefully for them not on the cards again. I would not bet against it though. Some bright person decided that it would be a good idea to host the 1994 World Cup, a festival for the very best teams in the world in America. It would be a kick start to give the game a new popularity. Sadly it never happened, they would rather play some stupid rounders that they copied... Read review

Advantages: Deliciously disrespectful
Disadvantages: A lot of people don't like that sort of thing

...Oh dear lord...how hilarious was this movie. When it came out in the cinema I stubbornly refused to go watch it because I thought it was a "Thunderbirds" type of affair (which I must admit I wasn't a huge fan of), and I even thought it was a kid's movie (I obviously at this point did not know all the much about it). How wrong could I have been! Where to begin?! Basically, for those of you who don't know, this film is about a group called "Team America" fighting to protect the world from terrorists. "Team America" and everyone else in the film, are puppets. That's the premise and the angle of the film. Doesn't sound all that original or funny, but trust me it is. The story runs roughly as follows (this is REALLY rough, I was laughing too much to catch everything)...Team America enlists the help of Gary (a supposedly amazing actor... Read review

Advantages: Funniest film of the year
Disadvantages: -

...Subtle. Clearly not a word that appears in the vocabularies of either Trey Parker or Matt Stone. The comic geniuses behind South Park have, in this blisteringly funny effort, turned their attentions to American foreign policy and with their usual foul-mouthed humour and exuberance have come up with what is easily one of the funniest films of the year. Maybe. To say that the South Park duo are an acquired taste is to put it lightly. This movie represents their most offensive effort yet. They poke fun not only at America's somewhat pushy foreign policy but also numerous actors, countries, musicals ... the list goes on. The story concerns an actor who is hired by the anti-terrorist squad Team America after one of their number is killed in a shootout in Paris. He must earn the trust of the other members as they seek to uncover a fiendish... Read review

Advantages: So stupidly funny its genius
Disadvantages: It may have put Trey Parker and Matt Stone on a government hit list

...The men who gave us South Park have done it again. Trey Parker and Matt Stone have yet again come up with something original, yet using a very unoriginal medium. Last time animation this time marionets. The basic storyline is that the world is under threat from terrorism (sound familar) and the only ones who can save us are Team America (sound even more familar). An elite team of paramilitary police, who fight for truth, justice and the American way. The film starts with the team taking out a terrorist cell in Paris. However in trying to stop the terrorists from using a weapon of mass destruction. the team are unfortunately forced to destroy the Eiffel Tower the Arc de Triumph and the Louvre. (But its not America so its ok) The worst part is that they lose one of the team. A replacement has to be found and were better to get... Read review

Advantages: You'll laugh from start to finish
Disadvantages: So hard, you might wet yourself.

...It’s all been a bit quiet from Trey Parker and Matt Stone in recent years. Since they offended mothers everywhere with their foul mouthed “South Park” cartoons, UK audiences haven’t heard a great deal from them. Indeed, even US
