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?

Geez, it's a movie made with puppets! Lighten up! WE WIN in this movie!!!

If you don't like South Park, you won't like this movie, so don't see it.

You can always check out the trailers and clips here to help you decide:

I guess you must be really upset with all the cartoons and shorts from the 40's that lampooned hitler and other axis powers....

Guess you didn't like the Bugs Bunny cartoons from 40's poking fun at Hitler

Or the three stooges comedy shorts making fun of mein schicklegroubber (yep, I can't spell worth a darn, espcially german slang)

I found nothing in the movie that would be offensive to those serving in our military, but hey, each to his own said the old lady as she kissed the cow (as my grandmother always used to say)

Lighten up a bit and you'll appreciate what they're doing. The terrorists also get decapitated and blown up pretty badly throughout the thing and it is mercilessly critical of islamofascists.

In a way it reminds me of what Charlie Chaplin did to Hitler in his classic film "The Great Dictator." It came out right in the middle of a similar worldwide crisis as we're in today and accomplished great things because it so mercilessly lampooned the bad guy. The US and its later war effort didn't suffer any because of Charlie Chaplin. If anything, it reassured everybody that they were doing the right thing.

I'm a drop-dead serious conservative, but I can find humor in anything.

Trust me. Most of the troops on the ground will be laughing their asses off once they get a chance to see the movie.

RE: #18

You're all wet.

It touts a sensational message. It shows the "hero" at the monuments...the Iwo Jima and Vietnam Wall. It is very patriotic...a good venue to reach these dumbed down products of public schools.

I loved it.

Lighten up, Frances. The DVD I saw was a pirated version sold at the Hadji Mart and the troops who are actually on the ground fighting the war love it.

War is hell, but sometimes you gotta laugh to keep from crying.
