Team America: World Police
When North Korean ruler Kim Jong-il orchestrates a global terrorist plot, it's up to the heavily armed, highly specialized Team America unit to stop his dastardly scheme. The group, which has recruited troubled Broadway actor Gary Johnston, not only has to face off against Jong-il, but they must also contend with the Film Actors Guild, a cadre of Hollywood liberals at odds with Team America's 'policing the world' tactics.
Critics Sentiment
Gary and Lisa have graphic puppet sex at Mount Rushmore
Gary resigns from Team America feeling responsible for deaths
The film peaks with the outrageous puppet sex scene then drops significantly when Gary has his crisis of conscience and quits the team
Team America maintains strong satirical momentum through its first two acts, with critics consistently praising its musical numbers, puppet audacity, and political humor. The film experiences a brief lull during Gary's character crisis in the third act before recovering for a solid but not spectacular finale. Overall, critics appreciated Parker and Stone's commitment to offensive equality and technical puppet craftsmanship.
