When North Korean ruler Kim Jong-il (Trey Parker) orchestrates a global terrorist plot, it's up to the heavily armed marionettes of the highly specialized Team America unit to stop his dastardly scheme. The group, which includes the thespian-averse technology expert Chris (Matt Stone), not only has to face off against Jong-il, but they must also contend with F.A.G., the Film Actors Guild, a cadre of Hollywood liberals at odds with Team America's "policing the world" tactics.

Critics Consensus

Team America will either offend you or leave you in stitches. It'll probably do both.

The whole thing plays like Thunderbirds Goes to Hell and will doubtless offend all those numskulls who complained about the BBC's transmission of Jerry Springer: The Opera. For that alone, it gets my vote.

Raunchy action comedy from South Park team isn't for kids.

Juvenile in the worst sense: confused and frightened by the adult world, and begging to be protected.

2/4

Once the novelty of the marionettes wears off, the movie has trouble sustaining its length, its laughs, and even its level of outrageousness.

7/10

Whatever the case, at just over 90 minutes, with rarely any time to slow down, Team America is the sort of bold experiment that delivers plenty of laughs and a clear level of ambition on display. The craft alone is enough to warrant a look.

Team America: World Police has South Park evil geniuses Trey Parker and Matt Stone doing what they do best: savagely making fun of big-game targets while burning every bridge around them

This is too much like the real world in 2025. Unless you are offended by their raunchy plot, this will make you laugh the entire time. Hadn't watched it in a very long time. Perfect timing with trump 2.0

Of course I had to rate a movie like this. One of the most unique movies you'll see!!! Like Happy Tree Friends, it takes a concept such as puppets, and makes it mega raunchy and or violent. I love it!!!! Count on South Park group to deliver!

I mean… ya’ll should know by now what you’d get out of a Trey Parker and Matt Stone film. Team America: World Police is an absolute 'puppet' show like no other. The clever writing and unapologetic satire, this film is a 'string' of laughs that will appeal to fans of their work. Grading: A
