Film — Team America : World Police
It is disappointing to see that the Yanks manage to do Thunderbirds better than the ill-fated live action movie that even International Rescue couldn't have saved, and without more than a title screen explosion as hommage to Gerry Anderson.
To say that this isn't the number one intellectually challenging file of 2005 is an understatement. The satire is as as scatter-gun and unsubtle as, well, Team America themselves; and the humour is much the same. Certainly, not a film one would want to take one's parents to see — but it managed to keep the audience laughing, myself included, through most of its length, even though the laughter was sometimes the nervous laughter that masks embarrassment.
Overall - leave your brain at home, prepare for rather sophomoric humour, and enjoy.
