(1 - 49) of 49 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1   "Despite the film's originality, I grew tired of looking at all those puppets after about 15 minutes, which is how I usually I feel when watching any wooden actors."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker A- "Mass chaos one instant and a tender love moment the next...the perfect roast of Bay/Bruckheimer!"   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark A- "Team America might sound like a backyard enterprise, but this highly detailed motion picture could stand proudly alongside any blockbuster."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf A+ "Geniuses of satire Matt Stone and Trey Parker bring more laughs to the big screen after their wildly funny 1999 movie "South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut" with a cast of square-jawed marionettes fighting terror by way of North Korea's Kim Jong II in a re"   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 77/100 "Putting the fun back into misanthrope"   Cinemania   Dan Jardine 5/5 "The year’s smartest, most impressive comedy."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius B "Its wit is played at the expense of unexpected targets… still, “Team America” is a descent into truly offensive, hysterical satire."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 3/4 "Surprisingly good natured given its take-no-prisoners lampooning of ethnic and cultural stereotypes, the war in Iraq, homosexuality, AIDS... not to mention Hollywood's finest."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 1.5/4 "...hurt by Parker and Stone's reliance on speechifying and heavy-handed diatribes..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "There are some hearty laughs to be had, but they don't come frequently enough."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman A- "When a marionette has sex or vomits, you are watching comedy gold, my friends."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/4 "The left testicle certainly gets it where it hurts, but the right is just centimeters away and is skewed so perfectly that they may not even recognize it."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 3.5/4 "Armed with an offbeat intelligence...Team America: World Police is a diabolically spunky punch to the political groin that takes no prisoners... doesn’t miss a naughty beat"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "Though it has moments of inspiration...at best the picture is only fitfully amusing, certainly not up to the standard set by the 'South Park' movie."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "Good try, some funny and clever ideas, but not really worth the time."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "makes a surprisingly cogent, if gleefully vulgar, political argument that has legs because it doesn't take easy sides"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "Puppet parody of pop culture and politics from the South Park boys is so wrong ... and so funny."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/4 "A shout out to the bad boys of comedy for a film that’s lewd and crude and brimming with attitude."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "I haven't laughed myself to tears in a while, but this movie made it happen... doesn't quite hold itself together all the way through, otherwise it might've been a slam dunk."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 8/10 "See it if you love original stuff mixed in with crude, stupid and yes...very intelligent humor!"   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 87/100 ""Will have you howling with laughter, unable to stop even to catch breath.""   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 4/5 "While I laughed a lot and enjoyed myself, the reason this film did not get the highest marks from me is because I walked out feeling a little unfulfilled."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/4 "... one of the funniest films you’ll ever feel (this) uncomfortable about laughing out loud at... remember: if you laugh, the terrorists win."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 5/5 "Team America: World Police is one of the ballsiest films to hit American cinema screens this year."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 4/4 "The most embarrassingly entertaining movie I've seen all year."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 2.5/5 "The gags fall flat as often as they hit their mark."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "The result seems almost as hypocritical as many of the movie's targets, which ultimately defeats the movie's intentions."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik B "[Parker and Stone's] merciless mockery of Hollywood action clichés, particularly those found in Jerry Bruckheimer’s productions, couldn’t be more accurate."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 3/4 "Shocking, funny, and socio-politically astute"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "[For] all its... flailing outrage, all its deliberate provocations... beneath all the vulgarity, [this is] a poignant, mournful search for that missing middle ground..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/5 "It's so accurate that it's barely parody."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3/4 "Team America: World Police is controversial, vulgar, and politically incorrect. Bless Parker and Stone for making it. "   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "Trey Parker and Matt Stone take such pleasure in being naughty that it makes their work more silly than smutty."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3.5/4 "The funniest, filthiest, and—as surprising as it may seem—shrewdest politically-minded film of this election year."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4.5/5 "Gleefully profane, excessively violent, and refreshingly lewd."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3.5/5 "[The] real target is the polarized state of society. All extremes get an equal bashing here, as they well deserve."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "As usual, heart and soul have been poured into an enterprise that Parker and Stone want you to think they just knocked off after a night of smoking weed."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B+ "It would be abhorrent if it weren't so screamingly funny."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "It is the funniest political satire I've seen in a long time. It would have been great if it had anything interesting to say about politics."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A- "[Team America: World Police is] a roller coaster ride that works most of the time and keeps the laughs coming."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 5/5 "Laugh hard, laugh long, but just laugh at true greatness."   Film Threat   Rory L. Aronsky 3.5/5 "A novelty flick that wears out its welcome well before the closing credits...but damn if there's still not a heaping helping of hellacious lunacy to enjoy along the way"   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg B- "Huge laughs are offset by dead spots."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell 8/10 "Jonathan Swift said: "Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own." Trey Parker are Matt Stone are fiendish satirists."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 1.5/4 "The satirical sharpness that defines the duo's at-times incandescently brilliant "South Park" has been shunted aside in favour of vomit gags and screaming homophobia."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 8/10 Read review   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel 2.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito Read review   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr.  (1 - 49) of 49 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1
