I was dissappointed when I watched this film. I thought it would be much more political than it was. In fact, the plot loosely intertwines political satire with random jokes which don't have political relevance. It seems like the story was thrown together to make a silly situation that mocks both sides of the political spectrum, but aside from the loose story outline, all the jokes aren't political. It's more of a film that makes fun of common movie cliches and cheesiness in films than it is a political satire. There are a lot of one liners that sound like they came from a cheesy hollywood flick. Also, the music and montage scenes make fun of cliches in movies. The songs in the background are pretty funny in this film, and once again, the humor doesn't really come from politics. There is a song about a montage during a montage scene. There is a song about Kim Jong Il is lonely. There is a love song that simply explains how "pearl harbor" was a bad movie. However, there is one song called "America, Fuck Yeah!" that is derived from the many people in America that express how much the U.S.A. "rocks." The puppets were interesting, but aside from that, I didn't think it was that great of a movie. It had some funny parts, but it was overall dissapointing.
3 stars
