Idiocracy Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Seems like a lot of reviewers missed the point.

A lot of things in this film are really stupid, but the comedy is in the irony of the future people who are so stupid themselves that they find it hilarious. If you don't get the irony or realise the consequences of dysgenics and anti-intellectualism then you probably won't get this film.

It isn't just a satirical black comedy, but also a stimulus to make people think about the dumming down of our society and what happens if global corporations are left unchecked ... than is, if they can still think!

Idiots all round.

Virtually unwatchable - Dax Shepard provides a typically sub-par performance and Luke Wilson demonstrates exactly why he is the lesser known of the Wilson boys. The fact that when the film was released, the production company sat on it for over a year after completion and did no marketing at it's point of release is suggestive that even they knew how poor this effort was. What was most annoying though is that it could have been good, if it hadn't been given to a director who thinks guffawing, drooling, drawling morons wandering around bumping into each other are automatically funny. They weren't. A good idea, but a terrible result.
