Idiocracy

The idea that the dumb will inherit the earth is terrifying. My wife and I watched it together. We are both elementary school teachers. Aside from the obvious parallels the society depicted in the film has with the society we find... Full review

I wanted to like this film much more than I did but the story was almost non existant. The premise is great (and the fear of almost any cynic) but rather than going anywhere the story is just an 1 1/2... Full review

This movie is fabulously hilarious and as profound as Dr. Strangelove. A great combination to make you laugh and scare the hell out of you at the same time. Great.... Full review

This is the world I've been fearing. Idiocracy was not only sheer comic genius, but a frightening documentary into the future. Intelligent people are already being out-bred. The retards of the world work all the jobs that require the slightest bit... Full review

Saw it in Austin, TX with an obviously very liberal, very well educated crowd and it received many laughs. I think this is just one of those movies that you either get the satire and love it or feel mocked (and... Full review

Shame on Fox for dumping this movie. It was a total riot and I only hope that it will find a second life on DVD and cable.This is a hilarious satire. It takes the "What if" situation to an extreme... Full review

I've never seen a movie get a worse release then this. And that's a shame, as this is the funniest film of the year! You would think an ad with the line "From the director of "Office Space"" would be... Full review

Let me start by saying that if you're expecting subtle humour, you're in the wrong theatre. It's low-brow and heavy-hitting. But he's not out to tickle your funny bone. He's got the sledgehammer out and he's drawn a bead on... Full review

A lot of things in this futuristic satire are more theoretically funny than actually funny (though it does have some laugh-out-loud moments) but a lot of that is because it seems to have been cut by the studio to better... Full review

Like Judges Office Space , though, Idiocracy eventually loses a bit of steam towards the end, but not enough to kill the momentum completely. As a result, the movie never wears out its welcome and feels about right at its running time of 84 minutes. ... Full Review

Heres the problem: Idiocracy is even more trenchant, more damning, more -- hell, Ill say it But with Idiocracy , Judge -- who wrote and directed -- takes a surgical scalpel to a far more fundamental aspect of modern American society: our propensity, nay, glad willingness to dumb everything way the hell down until theres nothing but dumb left ... ...

If youre a fan of Judge and you can watch movies in sections and not be disappointed when a scene goes south every 10 minutes, give Idiocracy a shot. Thanks a lot Mike Judge for creating a movie dumber than the title itself. ... Full Review

A very idiotic 'Idiocracy' By LIZ BRAUN - Toronto Sun Sadly, that's all there is to the movie. ... Full Review

The fact is the premise of the movie is far better than the actual execution done by the filmmakers of that premise. The movie starts out by showing how intelligent human beings are not reproducing as much and as fast as far less intelligent human beings. ... Full Review

The latest film from Mike Judge , Idiocracy , is not at all the unfunny flop that you might expect from its very limited release this weekend. ... Full Article
