If you're the kind of person who calls swearing 'curse words' then this movie is something you should avoid at all costs. All normal, non-fundamentalists however, will probably end up crying with laughter.
The film, as you are no doubt now aware, is Trey Parkers satire on the heavy-handed foreign policy of the United States and it's current global effect. The US is portrayed as the centre of the universe, Americans are keen but trigger-happy police and the middle eastern people among us are terrorists toting weapons of mass destruction On several occasions they charge in with there high-tech, red white and blue vehicles and blow the bejeezus out of several historic locations as they try to blast the terrorists off the face of the planet. Locals are left stunned and bruised amongst the rubble of their once beautiful cities as the Team cheerful mount up and head back for America, knowing they've saved the locals yet again, completely ignorant of the devastation they've just visited upon them.
I am a fan of Thunderbirds, a fan of South Park and a lover of bad movies and pastiches of bad movies, so this was right up my particular alley. The puppetry was pure Thunderbirds, and on several occasions the limitations of the marionettes are used as material for laughs rather than trying to disguise it. The entire sex scene had the audience in fits, with no attempt made to disguise the joints and obvious construction of the 'actors'. There's so much in this movie I cant begin to sum it up, I can only recommend that you go see it yourself if you haven't already. It had swearing, sex, outrageous violence, vomiting, action, cool vehicles, excellent locations and lots of intelligent humour.
