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....

I thought that the empath was a direct take on Counselour Troy from ST:TNG.
