Team America: World Police - love it or lukewarm?
WARNING - minor spoilers possible.
So I went to see this movie the other day. And I wasn't overly impressed. It reminded me of South Park when they brought in the Jackovasaurus. Just a general disappointment.
Mind you, by the time the movie had started I had already been up for 25 hours, but I was feeling pretty alert so I don't think that had much to do with my opinion. Also, the theatre was almost deserted (not more then twenty people, tops) so there wasn't a lot of energy in the room.
But I can distinctly remember laughing only twice. Once was at the theme song for this movie which plays at various times. It goes, and I quote: "A-mer-i-ca.... FUCK YEAH! A-mer-i-ca.... FUCK YEAH!". It's played at the best times too. :)
The other time was when the main protagonist, Gary, goes on a bender and ends up puking in an alley afterwards. It was cheap, predictable, and I found myself giggling. I'm sure this stunts my growth as a human being, but who cares?
I'd like to add the the much-advertised sex scene was also amusing, and it's much what I would have done if I'd been the one making the movie. The guy sitting in front of me in the theatre with the two girls stopped breathing during it, he was laughing so hard. They were literally pounding him on the back to bring him back to life. THAT was amusing.
Anyway, the movie was kind of disappointing to me. Go see it, rent it, download it, or whatever else you like. But don't pay full price. The best part of it all was getting my Reece's Pieces and blue slush and sitting in the room watching the previews. My appetite got re-whetted for the superhero one coming out from Pixar soon. Rest assured you'll hear a complaint about it too. :)

I figured the movie might have had some good parts...but thats it..I'm not bothering to see it. I have other things to see altho I can't name any at this time for fear of being descovered.
Ah, but I *like* South Park. Usually. ;)
This just didn't have... I don't know, the oomph that South Park managed to have when it began and which it can maintain with little apparent effort (although even that minimal effort has been evaded on occasion). Yay for using marionettes, but boo for making me have to put off sleep until later. :P
