Once upon a time - in the 1960s, to be precise - there was a small, committed team whose swift and daring interventions could be relied upon to resolve pretty much any threat to world security. These were the earnest heroes of Gerry Anderson's cult TV show 'Thunderbirds', and even if Anderson's patented 'supermarionation' prevented these global guardians from crossing the floor in a straight line, nonetheless their ability to manœuvre the most complex of rescue machinery with ease assured that they saved the world at least once an episode, reflecting an idealism and innocence that was symptomatic of their decade.

Now of course we live in different times. Owing to technological advances, marionettes have given way to computer generated imagery (the cinematic adaptation of

It's Got: A song comparing hero Gary's love for Lisa with his hatred for the film 'Pearl Harbour' (the latter of course comes out on top); puppet porn; James Bond-style baddie Kim Jong-Il launching into a song about how "wonely" he is; and lines like "I like you - you have balls - I like balls", "we've lost intelligence - I repeat, we have no intelligence" and "when you see Alec Baldwin, you will see the true ugliness of human nature".

It Needs: To be avoided by the sensitive or easily offended.

Alternatives: 'South Park The Movie: Bigger, Longer and Uncut', 'Meet the Feebles' and (for contrast) Thunderbirds

Summary: A hilariously irreverent exposé of America's relationship - with strings attached - to the rest of the world. Overall Score: 8 out of 10
