Team America Rocks! Starring Janeane Garro-Fello, Tim No brain Robbins and Sean Penn!

This reviewer must offer congratulations to Janeane Garofolo for her excellent performance in “Team America”. Since changing her appearance as a puppet, she has become much more expressive - more life like you could say! Her acting skills have improved greatly as a puppet. Her funniest line is when she finally expressed some truth about her and her ilk. “We must read the newspapers and then go on tv shows and pass on this information as if we wrote it ourselves” - (paraphrasing). Oh and when she and Tim Robbins bought it - that brought down the house!!!! People were laughing themselves silly because whether you are left or right - people recognize these weasels as the unamerican freaks they are! They had their say and now Mat and Trey are having theirs.

They can complain all they want, but freedom of speach goes both ways! Instead of complaining and whining about it - they might want to go ahead and sue Mat and Trey. I hear John Edwards will be available to file a class action lawsuit on your behalf - but beware - he tends to hold at least 30% of the take so it's best to aim high with the damage amount. Plus he could use a fourth house - he’s tired of competing with John and Theresa Ketchup!

Go Mat and Trey!

Go Team America!!!

Go Bush!!!!!!

The left is history and will not be in power for a generation - maybe 2!!!!!

Guess I had to be there...

[zook]

It's truly a great flick!

[sc2_ct]

I spent 1 hour and 45 minutes laughing so hard that I was in tears at times. This movie is completely packed with adolescent, crude humor (which I myself am not bothered by), so children probably shouldn't see it. It will however make quite an impression in the 18-25 block.

[etradervic]

You talked me into it. I'll check it out tomorrow night. I heard that it is unsuitable for children for anyone else interested.

I saw it yesterday I already heard others in a bar expressing the "DPA" theory of people in the world and political thought

(If you seen the movie you understand why I come up the the acronym "DPA" for the movies theory of the three types of people in the world)...

I whole heartily embrace the DPA theory of people.... I clearly am a D Type:>

Under this theory...where nobody's is perfect... Bush would be a D type, Kerry would be a P/A...

The left is history and will not be in power for a generation - maybe 2!!!!!

Im hoping for extinction personally :)

[occutegirl]

How..bad?? is the sex?

[sharktrager]

But...but...but

For the last several months all I have read about this film on Free Republic is how it was going to be a hate-fest trashing America and the President.

You mean I have to actually see the film to form an intelligent opinion?

[Jon Alvarez]

Sorry, while I applaud any public skewering of the Hollywood anti-Americans, I cannot bring myself to support a film that takes a serious topic such as the war on terror and makes it the backdrop for a comedy...

We have troops on the ground, fighting the forces of evil...I don't find that to be very funny.

Since 9/11, I guess I've lost my sense of humor...maybe I should've taken the blue pill?

[KosmicKitty]

Just got back from Team America

Haven't laughed so much at a movie in years!!! Wouldn't take my eleven year old, but hey, that's just me.

Matt Damon's acting abilities are superb and Susan Saranwrap (even though she sounds like Miss Chockesondik) was wonderful. Sean Penn, as usual, put in a stellar performance and the cameo by film maker Michael Moore is not to be missed. Puppetry has definitely brought out the best in these actors!!!

Loved the kitties!!!!

My husband and I give it two thumbs up.

[rang1995]

this movies sick humor gets accross the point better then the sick lies of 9/11(the movie)

[KantianBurke]

Just saw it. Its an ok flick. Nothing to write home about.

[Hildy]

I just got home from seeing this movie. I have to say the second half was much better than the firsth half. It was amusing. Maybe my expectations were too high.

Posted on another board earlier:

I got done with my test early, and just saw it. I'm still recovering and will remember stuff for days.

1) Do not take anyone insulted by foul language, any form of bodily function or positioning, or with any sense of "political correctness". Especially not children.

2) Anyone who says this movie was politically balanced is either a hypersensitive conservative or a extremely wishfully thinking liberal. heheheh Pacifism is sharply criticized, albeit in graphically sexual terms.

3) Lots of subtle stuff in there. You have to know a little bit about Broadway to catch the shot inherent in the theme song. Movie parodies I can recall, besides the obvious on the Bruckheimers, included Star Wars, Kill Bill, Bond movies, and I'm sure there were others. To catch everything would take at least three viewings.

4) No Academy Award nominations this time. The "Team America" theme would require enough bleeps to make no sense, the country song was hokey maximized, the "Pearl Harbor" has great lyrics ("I need you like Ben Afflek needs acting school" ) but a weak tune, Kim Jong Il's song was way too politically incorrect, and just forget about the Broadway theme LOL.

5) Kim Jong Il is allegedly a big movie buff. It's a tossup who will be more angered by their portrayal: him or Alec Baldwin. On the other hand, George Clooney, an early South Park enthusiast, may appreciate his fate in a "role reversal" sense.

6) The female characters are total dolls. I borrowed this line from another thread

7) "Puppet sex" is even funnier than it sounds.

8) "PDA" may be an electronic device, but I won't be able to hear the expression for awhile without snickering.

Final verdict:

One final point....there is one actual live human appearing in the movie...see if you can spot him....

Simply hilarious movie that has Team America save the day in the end.

Make sure to stay to end to hear Kim Jong sing "You are Worthless Alec Baldwin."

That is one of the funniest songs of the film!

Trust me, it is worth it to stay the extra 5 minutes after the film ends.

[the_gospel_of_thomas]

Yeah, good posts here - and I agree with you all.

Just a few points: It's sad to see Ebert give it
a bad review just because he disagrees with it's
bashing of the left. I swear, Ebert needs to be the
exclusive Salon.com movie reviewer ( rotten tomatoes
has it at 80% )

Id' say the best scene in the whole movie ( apart from
EVERY scene that has a member of F.A.G. ) is the
"release the killer panthers!" - the one member here on
FP who always posts cats wearing viking helmets should
get a kick out of it too.

Matt Damon's lines seem just like "TIMMY!" from south
park. But it was very Sweet to see each of the F.A.G.
members buy the farm - I can't decide whose was best.

The raunchy bits didn't make much of an impression on
me, but the whole audience was laughing, just the same.

I would say - go to see it in the afternoon so you don't
pay too much money and get a chuckle out of watching the
"greatest actor of all time, "Alec Baldwin" Best supporting
DOES go to Sean Penn ;)

[finnman69]

Just saw it...in NYC....on the Upper West Side....in Imax.

The entire place was rolling in laughter. Sidesplitting laughter. Stay through the credits to hear the extra Alec Baldwin finale not in the movie.

[wayne_shrugged]

Just saw it tonight! America F* yeah! LOL!

Can't believe this movie got made in Hollywood -- this movie skewers the left in Hollywood so bad, there's little else to say.

Liked Kim Il Jung's "I'm Ronery (Lonely)"! Very funny all the way through -- ALTHOUGH NOT for little kids. Very adult humor.

Major BUMP!

[hilaryrhymeswithrich]

The cultural snobs at FR (close relatives of the grammar/spelling snobs and the you are conservative enough snobs) will talk about how low brow and tastless it is.

I, however, find them hysterical, twisted, and want to remind all Freepers that we do have a big tent with a variety of conservatives out there....I like twisted humor, hippie jeans and loud, hard rock (Foo Fighters etc) and yet I vote as conservative as possible on most things.

Lighten up culture snobs and leave room for the rest of us....

[unspun]

I don't intend to see this movie. I think people of conscience should stand against immorality, lasciviousness, and tastelessness in the "arts."
