When North Korean ruler Kim Jong-il (Trey Parker) orchestrates a global terrorist plot, it's up to the heavily armed marionettes of the highly specialized Team America unit to stop his dastardly scheme. The group, which includes the thespian-averse technology expert Chris (Matt Stone), not only has to face off against Jong-il, but they must also contend with F.A.G., the Film Actors Guild, a cadre of Hollywood liberals at odds with Team America's "policing the world" tactics.

Critics Consensus

Team America will either offend you or leave you in stitches. It'll probably do both.

New Statesman

The whole thing plays like Thunderbirds Goes to Hell and will doubtless offend all those numskulls who complained about the BBC's transmission of Jerry Springer: The Opera. For that alone, it gets my vote.

Why So Blu

Whatever the case, at just over 90 minutes, with rarely any time to slow down, Team America is the sort of bold experiment that delivers plenty of laughs and a clear level of ambition on display. The craft alone is enough to warrant a look.

Rated: 7/10

News & Observer (Raleigh, NC)

Team America: World Police has South Park evil geniuses Trey Parker and Matt Stone doing what they do best: savagely making fun of big-game targets while burning every bridge around them

Rated: 3/4

For grown-ups, this is righteous, riotous immaturity at its most gratifying.

20 years later and I'm yet to find a movie that leaves me in stitches like Team America World Police. It's South Park humor mixed with political satire probably makes this the funniest movie I have ever seen.

Ok so this movie can be vulgar and purposely stupid but if your watching Team America your looking for a laugh and this is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life. Hilarious to the point where your stomach hurts cuz your laughing so hard. It's on another level funny. It pulls no punches its stupid Hilarious, ridiculously hilarious it will have you laughing out loud very very loudly for a few minutes straight several times. So as a comedy to get you laughing Team America is a home run and a great creative achievement that 20 years later is still one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

Very, very, very funny movie. The 'sex' scene between the puppets was laugh out loud funny. Not for kids, though.
