Time to Save the Day Again
Finally saw Team America: World Police today. For the most part I liked it, but it dragged a lot. The songs were very good and the parody worked most of the time. I especially liked Kim Jung Il's "I'm so lonely" number. The movie relied a little too much on bathroom humor, but that is a failing of most R rated comedies now a day.
I saw it at the dollar movies and expected there to be children in the audience like in most R rated movies. I only saw one family with children in the theater (there were probably less than a dozen people in the theater total) and after about fifteen minutes they got up and left. I was glad they left since this movie earned its R rating, but what the heck are parents thinking taking a ten year old to a movie like this. This movie had more swearing than any movie I had seen in a while along with other fairly explicit scenes. Do parents even bother to find out what movies are about beforehand? The worst case so far was when I saw Saving Private Ryan and there were several children who looked to be 5-8 years old a few rows in front of me. Those parents did not take their children out.
