The guilty pleasure of 'Team America'

I've got a plan... I get the family (old and young) to go out for a walk or grocery store run while I "take care of a few things around the apartment".

Then I load it up on the bedroom DVD player and lock the door...

Might work....

...and I never used any language which could be deemed offensive.

Mercat, you are a blessing to those you serve. My hat is off to you. I wish my lawyer had trained under you. God Bless You.

In-a-nutshell BUMP!

George Clooney also enjoyed their portrayal of him. He said he would have felt let down if they didn't include him in the film.

[RightWingAtheist]

The "free speech for me but not for thee" crowd really hated it. Probably because they were directly in the line of Parker and Stone's fire.

"TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE" IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE DECADE.

And what's this "guilty pleasure" crap? I didn't feel guilty watching "TEAM AMERICA". I didn't feel guilty telling everybody I knew just how hysterically funny it was.

Enjoying a comedy about a bunch of cursing puppets who defeat one of the world's most brutal dictators is a "guilty pleasure", but cheering for another, completely serious movie that tries to tell us how great life was under the thumb of another of the world's most brutal dictators, ISN'T?! C'mon, Washington Times.

With luck, my copy (unrated, repaired, super-dirty-puppet version) should be in the mailbox tomorrow!

Never saw that one, but good for him. People that can't handle being satirized should remain unfamous.

Cool BT download link.

Team America is a guilty pleasure. :)

and retailing for $29.98

Talk about sticker shock. The movie is great, but 29.98 is the price of a tv dvd set, not a movie.

That is outrageous. I will wait until they have a copy at thet local used movie store and I can get it for 7 bucks.

This going sound sick I like scene where Little Kim shoot his translator with Israeli made Desert eagle gun LOL!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Where do you shop? It's around $14 in most places.

"Nice limo"

"Yes, it is. Now............"

I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.

[Dead Dog]

"..I'm not from Hollywood.."

[rwfromkansas]

oh. Well, that is fine.

The article claimed it was retailing for 29 bucks.

Obviously the article is wrong.

Talk about sticker shock. The movie is great, but 29.98 is the price of a tv dvd set, not a movie.

Amazon has it for as little as $14.99

Gary: "Are you from Hollywood?"
Spottswoode: "You could say that. But you'd be wrong."

I can't believe they cut that line out!

My manager has gotten the non-profanity cussing down to an art. It is a thing of wonder to see him tearing into someone, whether it is in person or over the phone, because he never raises his voice above a hoarse whisper (the result of an injury suffered in the Balkans) and he doesn't use any profanity, but he gets his point across loud and clear.

[HairOfTheDog]

Some parts should be seen by EVERYONE, and some should not be seen by anyone ;~D

Biggest laugh I ever had in a theater, and a worthy DVD with lots of good extras.
