More underwhelmingness

[yendi]

So, we use our penultimate free rental coupon on Team America: World Police, which was ok, but not much more. The best part, by far, was the songs -- Parker and Stone are at their best there, and some of the songs (like "Montage") will take forever to get out of my head. The novelty of seeing the same old stuff done with marionettes got old quickly, and although the satire was evenhanded and usually on the mark, the movie only had about a half hour's worth of good material in it, and probably would have worked better as a SP episode. And Stone and Parker need to accept the fact that they are sucktastic voice actors. They need to be willing to hire someone else to voice characters, so we don't get caught up thinking, "hey, that guy sounds like Constable Barbrady." Still, great songs.
