Disaster!

At first, I had my reservations about this movie. I wasn't a big fan of Team America:World Police, and I had heard that this was along a similar vein. Fortunately, I decided to see it anyway, and I laughed harder than I have in a long time. Don't get me wrong, this movie is offensive to just-about every demographic imaginable, but it is in a tongue in cheek way, as opposed to a mean-spirited way. If you can't stand foul language, sex, graphic violence, nudity, and racial stereotypes acted-out by clay figures, then this movie is not for you. But, if you have a sense of humor, like Naked Gun-like physical comedy, and witty, biting dialog, then you must see this movie!

I watched this film last night expecting to see something along the lines of 'Southpark' or 'Team America' since the movie was described as 'hilarious' adult animation. Either my definition of hilarious is different to the reviewers or they have the sense of humour of a 12 year old.

Utterly terrible in all but the standard of the claymation animation, if fart-gags, terrible innuendo, racial stereotype based jokes and puppet nudity are your thing, you'll love it. If you've passed puberty, you'll probably hate it.

As I said the only 'good' thing about the movie is the animation, along the lines of 'celebrity deathmatch', I can't fault the animators talents.

When a movie tells us from the beginning that it is not going to be anywhere near any political correctness, you know what to expect. At least you should and some of the jokes will be more than predictable. A lot of violence, flatulence and nudity ensues. Now does that sound like something you might find funny? Because if not stay clear of this.

And let's make one thing clear: I didn't rate this based on me liking everything I saw, but by the fact that it took the ball and ran with it. It is consistent from start to finish, which is something you can admire about this, no matter what you think of the content. Juvenille and gross this is spoofing distaster movies left and right ... all the way to Armageddon!

I just had the luck to see this film at the Hamburg Fantasy Film Fest and loved it, why? It is so far out and funny, in all shades, good humour, bad humour and very bad humour. A little like the Team America makers decided to save the budget by using wax puppets and use the saved cash for really bad substances (I know of course that this is not the case, but look at it and you should see what I mean ;-)) The plot follows the Armageddon script and has some very recognizable scenes almost exactly taken from, it well, momentarily to change drastically and create humour this way and it works! If you like your puppet comedies tough, go and see this one. If you mind bad language and/or explicit themes and scenes, maybe reconsider...

This is the funniest movie I've ever seen in my entire life. If you like gratuitous violence, cliché humor, random sex scenes, farting and just raunchy tasteless over the top insanity, then this movie is for you. It is tons better than team America. I could not stop laughing, and new laughs would interrupt old laughs it just kept going and going. It's not for the easily offended or kids, but wow, what a riot. It's so over the top, but it didn't come across as trying to be, like some films just use the F word repeatedly and try to get a reaction, but this movie didn't really need to, they used a lot of other methods to keep repulsive and outrageous without being running one method into the ground. The story was good too, although a rip off of Armageddon, but that made it even better in my opinion.
