Title: Not near as funny as South Park
Product review: And the politics suddenly go righter-than-right (but still well to the left of Attila the Hun). I thought I'd like it a lot more than I did. There are some funny moments throughout, the sex scene, the puking scene, the Team America Theme Song scene. The plot is not exactly suspenseful, if you say it's a comedy and doesn't need a plot, the comedy is pretty sparse. For the whole film, you're waiting for something really funny to happen, but it never does. Some people complain about 'perceived political content' well hello, it is a comedy about politics, much more so than say, Austin Powers or even Maxwell Smart (remember him?) That would be fine, regardless of what tack it took, if it was a really funny film, but to me it was a wasted opportunity. I'd like to laugh at this film. But I can only laugh NEAR it, it seems.
