Yesterday I went to see Team America World Police, and I have to say, it was the funniest movie I have seen in a long time, even funnier than the very funny Shaun of the Dead was.
I wonder if Americans will find it funny though, and which subgroups. It really makes a strong mockery of the American right, but also the American left. I did feel that they forced the attacks at the American left more, as if they wanted to make sure they balanced the mockery, but that might be due to my slight bias.
A few of my friends have already shown some reluctance to see the movie because it uses puppets, but I assure you, that is not a problem. Even I thought immediately of Thunderbirds, but it is not like that at all, no more than The Simpsons being a cartoon is a problem.
One of my favorite features of the movie is the sound track. I will not spoil the movie by going into the songs themselves, I will just note that each song is hilarious.
If you do not know what I am talking about at all, maybe you should see the Trailer
