Premise: Politically incorrect puppet super heroes destroy Paris and save the world.
Fans of South Park may be disappointed. Ditto for fans of Alec Baldwin and Matt Damon. The film seeks to offend everyone, as does South Park, but overall it’s not nearly as funny.
The first 30 minutes of “Team America: World Police” were slow. There [...]

Team America: World Police, Unrated, f* yeah!
Southpark creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, along with co-writer, Pam Brady, skewer everyone from the left to the right and take on international terrorists too. This puppet-powered full-length action/comedy feature blasts Americans who toe the party line and terrorists who wouldn’t know a party if their turban turned [...]

Gene Wilder is a great comic actor who can stand alone — think “Young Frankenstein” — but pairing him with Richard Pryor in this, their first film together, was comic genius. It’s unfortunate that half the movie was over before Pryor’s character joined the plot.
Trains, planes and automobiles are all comic vehicles in this cross [...]

This movie would have been a mildly entertaining Gene Wilder comedy thriller even without Richard Pryor, but the first-time screen pairing of Wilder and Pryor, which turned out to be a magic combination, makes this a great film.
