Well it's been released in the U.S. this weekend, anyone been??? Is it as funny as reviews have said???

What I've seen of quick trailers and all, it looks like it'll be harder on the ribs than Evander Holyfield...

Give us your feedback...
 
I saw it Saturday night. It was pretty funny, but not on par with South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut by any means. Some of the humour was over the top, particularly an oral sex scene before the climax of the film that lost the audience a bit.

As usual, though, the songs are some of the best parts of the movie. Well, that and the super-racism to be found throughout. Kim Jong-Il (sp?) is one of those characters depicted with such a flagrant prejudiced and racist attitude that it actually becomes funny, to a degree.

Overall it's worth seeing, but I don't think it will ever become a classic or even achieve the status of South Park. It's also rated 18A in Canada, so teenagers need an over-18-year-old to get in.

Right, cause Kim Jong is really just a nice guy.
 
Right, because it's not at all a satirical comment on the general predjudice and stereotyping of certain races to other races.
 
Umm, in case the two of you hadn't noticed, I did in fact understand both the reason and the desired effect behind the racism in the movie. I wasn't criticizing the treatment of Kim Jong Il, merely using it as an example of what occurs in the movie.

But just because someone is evil doesn't necessarily mean you should EVER resort to racism. Of course you probably know that.
 
I cried my eyes out during the puke scene in the alley. I was laughing so hard I nearly fell out of my seat! The movie was WELL WORTH the money. Yeah that one scene toward the end made everyone feel uncomfortable i think. But overall, I give this an A-. It was extremely vulgar. And even for puppets, quite gory to a humourus extent. Very entertaining.
 
the two funniest things were the team america theme song and that drunk guys analogies on the [removed by moderator]
 
Best line:
"I'll drill two holes in your d*ck so that when you take a piss, it goes in all different directions."

I loved it.

I don't know, I just needed a reason to post that.
 
I actually can't see this picture, as Ebaum's World is blocked from my school, but I reported the post, and I encourage anyone else offended by this or with a consideration for the rules to do the same.

elemental -- you are continually breaking the rules. I suggest reading the Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service found in my signature and at the bottom of the page, have a long look at it and consider it when posting. Thanks.
 
Although I find the picture to be quite funny, it was used at a very poor time, and in very poor taste. 👎

Minor spoilers ahead, for anyone who may be concerned.








As for the movie, I finally got around to seeing it recently, and it was pretty good. I loved the cheesy songs in it (Montage!), and there were some great jokes in it. That, and it was hilarious to see Samuel L Jackson's head get kicked in half! My favourite part of the movie was definitley the opening sequence, watching Team America destroy half of Paris! :lol:
 
People. I realize this is an R rated movie. But you need to realize this is a G rated forum. This thread is full of unacceptable language. Re-read the rules (links in my signature) and keep it clean from here on out, or I'm binning this thread.

elemental, you knew better than that and I've logged a strike against your name. Please avoid getting any more strikes.

continually? when else?
 
You flamed a User in the Music Forum, and a couple of times you've been borderline. Just be careful with some things, is all I'm saying. Not to worry, let's get back on topic. :)
 
Went to see the film today (It's only just been released in the UK) and I loved it.

The songs are great especially the Montage and the Team America one. (I won't write the lyrics ;))
 
I saw this movie a while ago, I thought it was pretty good. Not as good as the south park movie but it still had some very funny scenes in it e.g the vomitting scene. In NZ it was R16 and the sex scene was left in our version so I find it amazing that it could be 18+ in Canada.
 
I thought there were some funny jokes in it but I didn't like the film much at all.
 
I thought it was decent. I was expecting crap, but it was surprisingly funny in some parts. South Park is still much better, and they should keep working on that. 👍
 
So...is it worth buying? Or should I rent it instead. Lately, all these "funny as h*ll" Movies only have a few funny jokes.

Napoloen D. wasn't as funny as it was claimed, but still good. Glad I rented it and "just a long Saturday Night Skit" Anchorman that was unfunny man.

In fact, both Ferrell's movies, Elf and Anchorman weren't that funny, and pretty bad. 👎

I don't buy something stupid. So is it worth buying or just a rent?
 
Rent it. If you don't mind forking out a few dollars for a movie you probably won't watch again, then go for it, otherwise I'd just rent it out.
 
Not really, it's more of "South Park rips of American Troops and the War on Terror", instead it has different characters instead of Stan, Cartman, etc.
 
Saw i last night and i must say it was pretty funny. It's a 15 in UK so we had loads of 15,16,17 year old losers laughing really over the top at the dumbest things. However there is a lot of funny stuff, the music is fantastic. The Montage song (Best film song ever), the Pearl Harbour song ("All i'm trying to say is, Pearl Harbour sucked, and i miss you") and the title theme ("Anything.... f yeah! The Internet.... f yeah!"). Cool film with some lame bits and some great bits. They even each other out. The play on words is the funniest. Go see it. But please don't be surprised if some young teenager is wetting the floor during the vomitting scene, for some reason it really is that funny.
 
I saw it a few weeks ago, very funny, very stupid. I pobably wouldn't see it again but I'm glad I saw it.
