Team America; F**k Yeah!

Last Friday I saw Team America with my parents and N. It's a great movie and you should all see it. Team America is most memorable for its delightful songs, such as, "Team America, F**k Yeah!" wherein the lyrics are largely the same as the title, and "Every Movie Needs a Montage", as well as "I Miss You, But Not as Much as Pearl Harbor Sucked" which refers to the movie Pearl Harbor.

I heard some coworker who'd seen it say that the movie doesn't take sides politically, but that's not true. It's clearly anti-left.

Mostly the film is anti-celebrity. The filmmakers have gone to great lengths to ridicule about a dozen celebrities who die grisly deaths by the film's end. Team America takes an odd stance on actors, however, since the coalition of actors in the film are evil, but the protagonist is also an actor by profession, who must use his acting skills to save the world.

This film is great and you should all see it. Except Hal. There's too much swearing for Hal. I'd say these marionettes swear ten times more than Adan.

Oh man this movie rocked. I was singing America, Fuck yeah the whole weekend. The montage song was also used in the episode of South Park about the Special Olympics.

There was also a "montage" song in another South Park episode where they all go to Aspen for the weekend.
