Team America: World Police (2004)

A couple of friends (Dave and Andy) saw Team America: World Police (2004) and told me that it was “brutal” because of how far Trey Parker and Matt Stone push the envelope in this one. A guy on my hockey team raved and said it was hilarious.

Did I mention that Dave and Andy in particular also enjoy Rob Schneider films like Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999) and The Hot Chick (2002)? My step-daughter walked by then sat down when she realized that I was watching Team America: World Police. She’s already seen it a few times and said it “awesome”.

For some people this would have been plenty of warning that I was watching one of the worst movies of the year. I got as far as the 2 minute vomit scene when I had enough. I hit eject on the DVD player after enduring 23 minutes of this garbage.

How did Team America: World Police ever get made? What a pile of crap! I must be getting old. Maybe if I was sixteen years old I could waste a couple of hours watching watching marionettes blow each other up, defecate on each other and vomit endlessly.

Well, Mr. Fancypants, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Maybe you *are* getting old…

When did you turn into a whiny little girl? This from a guy who nearly wet his pants watching Son-in-Law - a Pauly Shore classic.

Some movies are funny by definition. Other movies are funny by experience - meaning that the people that you’re watching with can influence your feelings.

I’ll bet $1000 that if you watch Team America again with Dave and I that you’ll laugh your fat ass off.

I probably would enjoy the movie more with the right crowd but I was watching part of it with the step-daughter. Uhmm, do you recall some of those scenes in the first half of the movie? Enough said.
