A group of us saw this the other night.
There's a number of funny scenes: Team America saves Paris and Cairo from
terrorists. One
American fires a shoulder missile. It misses, hits the Eiffel Tower, which
collapses and
takes out the Arc d'Triomphe. Dang. He missed. After the fight is over, the
French looked
stunned at the wreckage.
The same happens in Cairo. Team America wrecks the place.
The rest of the movie, well... many of the scenes could have been cut.
It's a vicious satire on the War on Terror (WOT) and America's role. But it
could have gone
much further.
