Go see "Team America" (Vanity and Plea)
John K.

Posted on 10/16/2004 8:27:42 PM PDT by jsk10

This is not a movie for the sensitive or the easily offended. Many times I winced at the topic or images. But the movie's bottom line is that it conveys the feelings of most Americans towards the "Famous Idiots" in La La land. This movie doing well will force Hollywood boneheads to realize how idiotic most view them (or are we way past that being a possibility). Either way, it's not a Sunday School Class field trip...but worth the few bucks to be this entertained.

AMERICA!! **** YEAH!!!!

Very funny movie.. Some of it was weird though- it freaked me out to see Mt Rushmore like it was at the end, even though it was just puppetland!

The Panama Canal sequence was chilling. That scene wasn't for laughs. There's some very deep stuff in that movie. I don't know if I "liked" it, but I laughed a lot and would definitely recommend it to others. It's real cinema.

Michael Moore would never blow himself up for a cause. He's too selfish.

I just saw it with my brother. America, f&*% Yeah!

Great to see all the Hollywood freaks get what they deserved. Movie was very funny but definately not for kids. A couple of kind of, uhhhhh, disturbing scenes. Overall funny though.

I totally agree- some of the movie was suprisingly hard to take. But I think that was the whole point- I was reading the creators' interview on foxnews and basically they said exactly what you can take from the movie. We Americans aren't always perfect, but we are well meaning and who else are you going to trust? Some insane terrorists with WMDs???

And I loved Gary's initial makeup job- and how they had the towel done on his head (like a woman does when getting out of the shower- ROFL!!!)

And the puppets in general are hilarious- just watching them try to walk LOL!

Just saw it...in NYC....on the Upper West Side....in Imax.

The entire place was rolling in laughter. Sidesplitting laughter. Stay through the credits to hear the extra Alec Baldwin finale not in the movie.

So many awesome references to other movies and funny thigns. Will buy this on DVD.

D***, P****, A******

Saw TA last night with my wife. I'm the political animal in the family so I laughed (much) more than she did.

The puking scene was hilarious. There were a million things to see in the movie, little touches like the poodle plant sculpture in Paris and the Coca Cola sign in Cairo. The best parts are anything to do with the F.A.G.s - no wonder they are pissed off. Some very satisfying death scenes there... I'll never look at a black cat the same way again...

And do you think they leave themselves open to a sequel with "Mr. Ronry"?

Bottom line: Great movie for Freepers if you can get past the language and the puppet sex. I think you should make the effort. And remember, freedom costs a buck-o-five.

Yea the Black Cats (panther) are great...there also another Star Trek take off to... If you want So Park you see little TV trivia in it.. the original Star Trek is one of the one you see alot of

"These two scum made a disgusting reference to children of special needs ...

One thing you must accept in comedy is that anything and everything is a legitimate target. It's nothing new, only something that we've been "spared of" by decades of political correctness.

Black can be funny, Irish can be funny, and killing Kenny can be funny; so can dueling comedians on crutches and Big Gay Al....

Can't make yourself ineligible or immune unless you are willing to write off the entire genre.

It was Carol Burnett who once said, "Comedy equals tragedy plus time"

I loved the Star Wars cantina music in the Cairo bar--that was hilarious! And it fit all too well...
