Anyone who would go see a movie based on the opinions of Ebert/Roeper is pathetic.

Roger Ebert lost what little respect I had left for him when he became a fashion critic of the Bush daughters.

I saw Team america and havent laughed so hard in such a long time..It was a little on the crude side but the puppet sex was the funniest thing i have ever seen on a movie... And the politics of the movie are so right on... God bless Our president...

Has anyone ever seen Michael Moore and Roger Ebert together at the same time?

If you want to have some fun, go with a lib who doesn't know much about the movie.

I went with a lib. She was laughing, clapping, genuinely enjoying the movie for the first half. As soon as the Film Actors Guild meeting started--which was hilarious in the way it depicted the Hollywood left acting like self-exaulted members of the U.N.--she didn't make a peep for the rest of the movie.

I think this movie points out how humorless the libs have become. They are completely unable to laugh at their positions on any level. I suspect that most conservatives, like me, can laugh at our own caricatures on occasion because in the end, we have the courage of our convictions. They don't.

Watch "Diary of a Political Tourist" on HBO and see what I mean. (I know, Alexandra Pelosi, blah blah blah). But what comes across in this documentary is how utterly humorless Kerry is, and how gracious and warm Bush is.

America loves to vote for someone with a self-depricating sense of humor. There's no contest folks.

At one time just a couple years ago, Ebert praised the Looney Tune cartoon characters (Bugs Bunny, et al) who lambasted the axis in WWII, putting down totalitarian regimes with spirit-lifting humor. Now he says that war is nothing to make fun of and making a cartoon about terrorism is sad and pathetic. Boy, did he ever do a flip-flop.

The puppet scene wasn't that bad, IMO.

Next summer, according to a recent announcement in Daily Variety, Moore will be back with his next film -- Sicko, a "documentary" about the problems of the American health-care system

Hopefully a large segment of the alleged "documentary" will deal with obesity and the burden that big fatso's like Moore put on our health care system.

There's a good reason these critics are arms up and thumbs down over Team America. The movie tells them that they are all a bunch of "P"s who are too close to the "A"s of the world, and if it weren't for Bush and other people they consider "D"s, they'd just get crapped on.
