I know Team America: World Police came out a couple of years ago, but I just saw it. The guys who created South Park are responsible for this movie, so you'd be a fool to expect anything less than maximum irreverence--but this was off the charts... and HILARIOUS. I have never seen a better musical/action farce. Adding to the charming offensiveness is that there is not one live actor in this movie. It is all marionettes, all the time.
The theme song is titled, "America, F**K YEAH!", and is perfectly suited to the movie. It's basically what every action movie theme song strives to be. You can hear snips of all the great songs from the movie if you do a search for Team America on iTunes. The country twanger "Freedom isn't free" taught me that freedom actually costs each of us "a buck-oh-eight". Brilliant.
WARNING: Do not listen to it at work, around children and especially your judgmental mother-in-law. You've been warned.
I'll leave you with a small taste (distaste?) of the twisted genius that is the collaboration of Matt Stone/Trey Parker and Team America:
If you've ever seen the Broadway show RENT, you will probably laugh out loud at this movie clip.
It goes without saying that everyone having AIDS, and the AIDS epidemic in general, is not funny in any way, shape, or form. Except in the above movie clip.
