Team America - Fuck Yeah!

I saw Team America yesterday and feel compelled to share my review with the world. This m0vie is absolutely fucking hilarious. It is the most offensive, outrageous movie you could possibly imagine. You couldn't try harder to get an X-rating or a visit from Ashcroft.

The music is possibly the best part of this movie. Here's one lyric:

I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark with Pearl Harbor...
I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting lessons...

The movie skewers American foreign policy by portraying the Team America characters as totally corporate, cosmetically improved, boyband-esque, focus-grouped stereotypes.

Virtually everyone in Hollywood is mentioned by name as part of the "film actors guild - F.A.G" that opposes Team America and is trying to help Kim Jong Il. Let's just say I don't think Alec Baldwin will like this movie. Aside from skewering politics the movie's basic message is calling everyone in Hollywood a homo. In one of the most hilarious segments the broadway musical Rent is parodied. In the movie the show is called "Lease" and they sing a song that basically goes:

Aids, aids, aids, aids,
Everybody's dying from aids.

Aids, aids, aids, aids.

If you've ever seen Rent or listened to the soundtrack you'll know that's not too far off the mark. Anyway...

Bottom line - it's funny, you'll like it, go see it if you get a chance.
