| | Team America: World Police (2004): Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Kristin Miller, Daran Norris - PopMatters Film Review |
 | | Trey Parker and Matt Stone's much-ballyhooed parody of Jerry Bruckheimer-style action pictures is aptly violent, delirious, and outsized (in its miniature-puppet way). |
 | | As Parker and Stone are fond of pointing out, any number of violent acts and even a good amount of foul language can make their way into an R movie -- and here the "cocks," "dicks," and "fucks" fly freely -- but sex, even between puppets, reportedly makes ratings broad members stutter and twitch. |
 | | Granted, this puppet sex, initiated as a close-up of hands held, soon extends beyond missionary, but it's also "censored" by definition, as Gary and Lisa are anatomically incorrect and literally clunky as they succumb to their ardor, again and again. |
