AP review of "Team America"
...found on CNN.
The puppetized actors in the movie won't be happy with their portrayal, either. Alec Baldwin, head of the Film Actors Guild (which is frequently abbreviated -- you can figure it out for yourself), is as madly power-hungry as the terrorists themselves. Janeane Garofalo urges her fellow celebs to read the newspaper and then regurgitate the information as their own opinions. Matt Damon is only capable of shaking his fist and grunting his name.
It all may sound adolescent and goofy, and a lot of the time it is. But "Team America" also may be the best film of the year. It's easily the funniest.
"Team America: World Police," a Paramount Pictures release, is rated R for graphic, crude and sexual humor, violent images and strong language, all involving puppets.
ETA: CNN also has a review of Evil Genius. Much fun.
