This is the movie they got the idea for Team America: World Police.

So, what qualities of it come across as shabby and cheap, and how is it possible to enjoy something that's defined that way?

Extreme 80's bmovie cheese. Loved it then and I love it now.

Why do you think so? What qualities of it come across as shabby and cheap, as the dictionary defines the word "cheesy"?

i watched this a zillion times on hbo back then and i loved it, but like a lot of 'em, upon viewing now, it is extremely cheesy!

This actually looks like a decent movie based on the trailer. Why do people think it's cheesy and corny and all that?
