Sometimes I Feel Like an Idiot
Satire is difficult, and Mike Judge certainly doesn't pull punches. Unlike in King of the Hill - The Complete First Season, subtlety isn't his style in Idiocracy. Instead, he goes all out for every gag in the book. Every nuance is there to portray society as simply stupid.What works in the film is the premise. That's even what carries it through until the end. You probably already know what it's about: society has gotten dumber and dumber (sic) until by the year 2500, the world (or at least America) is on the brink of collapse because they can't solve any of their problems, ones that they caused in the first place. In comes an average guy from the year 2000, and he's hailed as a genius. He must now solve all of humanity's problems, from the death of crops to the overflow of garbage.It's a good premise.What doesn't work, though, is the way the movie becomes a series of gags: sight, sound, etc. I guess a world of really stupid people would actually be full of gags, but it really just seems like a bunch of stupid people from the year 2000, not from the year 2500. Nothing has really changed in those 500 years except that people still can't solve their own problems.So all in all, Idiocracy is a decent film with a great premise. The genius of it is also its problem: it is couched in a faraway land (like allegory or a lot of satire) that is really available right here at home. But the truth is generally easier to take when it seems faraway.The other thing I like about this post is how people like to think they're above the critique. Just look at some reviews for the movie. Really, though, we're all kind of that stupid, either like Luke Wilson or like the stupid people there for laughs.

Intelligent film about a future without intelligence
First, let me say that although I generally appreciate Mike Judge'swork, I've been merely tepid in my response to Office Space, King ofthe Hill, and Beavis and Butthead. I generally prefer more intelligentcomedy, and therein lies the irony with respect to Idiocracy.In a future world where the embodiment of Beavis and Butthead's views,basest instincts, and intellectual capacities are the framework of achaotic, messy, semi-Mad Max semi-Blade Runner society, where everytrailer-trash guy's fantasy becomes reality, a man with even averageintelligence is threatening and accused of talking gay, and the mobmentality takes over. And this world is also incredibly funny.Yes, it's obvious that Carl's Jr., Starbucks, Costco and Fuddruckersexecutives will be horrified at the twisted values given their productsin the year 2505.There were some missed opportunities with the film, and therelationship between the time travelers - the other being an averageintelligence woman who's worried about her boyfriend's (pimp's)retribution - could have been stronger; the chemistry is there. Andthere don't seem to be too many women in the future.I did leave with a grin on my face, but the experience is a bit betterthan the memories. Thus, it's my kind of popcorn film, and it will befun to revisit on video. Recommended! FYI stay through the credits foran extra scene.

Not as bad as the studio thinks
Shame on Fox for burying this film! Mike Judge is awesome, and if they didn't think so they should have never green-lit this movie. This movie is classic Mike Judge humor. I'm not going to go so far as to say it's great, or even that it's better than his cult classic Office Space. But it's worthy. The basic premise of the movie is that it's asking the question has evolution failed the human species? Dumb trailer park people reproduce like rabbits. You know the ones who try and find the baby's father on Jerry Springer? While intelligent people pass up having kids to have "careers". The story is about an average guy played by Luke Wilson. He's average in every way possible and he gets frozen and woken up in the future, where we see the end result of the path humanity has taken. Everyone is so dumb that Wilson, an average person in our time, is now the smartest man on the planet. The movie definitely has it's funny moments, the problem I had with the story was the ending. It just felt like he came up with a great premise for a story and just didn't have it go anywhere, like he was just making it up as he went along and it just ends. Come to think of it, that is classic Mike Judge too, it's just not as strong this time around.It's just really sad that the studio buried the release of this movie after delaying it for so long. If you're not going to support a film maker, why even release the film at all? Just release it on video and be done with it. I don't know what happened behind the scenes but Fox is totally the kind of studio that will cut off it's nose to spite it's face. If you're a Mike Judge fan I highly recommend this movie, it can't be any worse than Taledega Nights. If you do happen to see this movie STAY TILL THE END OF THE CREDITS! There's a scene that I thought was one of the funniest moments in the whole film.

Wow scary:):)
This film is quite scary... well what do I mean by this... I meant tosay that it frightens me as this is our possible future, no joke...watch it and cry as your grand grand grand children will suffer:( Takea long look at our bleak future:( It is logic, successful people, educated, career minded will not havechildren... or might have 1 or 2max, yet the lazy arses gettingunemployment benefit, child benefit and such will keep on multiplyinglike bunnies... outcome... Idiocracy!!!Apart from the sad reality factor:):) they managed to take the pee outof everyone. I didn't really get how they were still advanced, hadcars, big plasma TV's, weapons, clothes considering everyone was sodumb:):) No one could do anything right yet they had all thistechnology and food... lots of fast food. That's one thing I wish gotexplained... maybe they had monkeys working in factories??

This is the beginning of a marketing mystery
There's no other word for it...Fox dumped this out, with NO marketingof any kind. Nobody in the country, other than those who have beenlooking forward to this film, know anything about it. All the red flagshave flown. It has to be a mess, it can't be anywhere near as good asOffice Space, right? Wrong. Though Office Space it ain't, this filmdefinitely has satirical bite and wit. It's a misfire on certainlevels, but who's to blame is left to mystery.Based on what is currently showing in theatres, I can say IDIOCRACY isa good movie. It's funny, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny. It'seffective, sometimes ingenious. What it isn't as far as I can tell, isfinished. We will see something come of this film again, whether it'san extended cut or reshoots. Alone it can be hilarious. It's ballsy attimes.Leaving the theatre, looking around at the mall, I was surrounded byadvertisements and billboards, commercialism and stupidity. It's notquite as damning a dystopia as 1984, but this movie paints an uglyfuture for our culture. And there doesn't seem to be much anybody cando about it. Anyway, go see this if you can and try to find out whathappened that it was so specifically buried.

Awesoome premise, disappointing execution
Joe Bowers (Luke Wilson) and Rita (Maya Rudolph) are subjected to anArmy experiment where they sleep for one year. Something goes wrong,and they wake up five hundred years later, in the year 2505. Because ofthe dumbing down of society and civilization, Joe wakes up to find outhe is the smartest man alive.I really had high expectations for this film, because I enjoy MikeJudge's other work ("Office Space", Beavis & Butthead, King of theHill). This film starts out great, but I felt it was uneven in spots.Some of the jokes were repeated frequently, and I felt like saying,"Yeah, we got the idea, everyone's stupid." I felt the rehabilitationsequence went on a little too long, but besides these negatives, thisis a pretty funny film but I can only recommend it Luke warmly.

Silly, but Hilarious
By far one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. They have taken themost ordinary things in our everyday life and have come up with theirtwisted version of it, brilliant! This movie gives ridiculous a newmeaning and delivers on what it promises to deliver silly humor. Everystore sign or billboard you see in the movie is ridiculously funny andshows the creativity of the people that wrote this masterpiece ofsilliness. Terry Crews should have definitely won an award for thismovie. I honestly don't see why this movie is being compared withoffice space?? Office Space is not even attempting to be half aschildish as this movie; it fits in a different genre if you ask me.Office Space was a good movie and all, but Idiocracy takes it toanother level.

Stupid smarts.
Mike Judge, director of the cult classic "Office Space" as well as thecreator of TV's "Beavis & Butthead" and "King of the Hill," deliversperhaps his most outlandish and most imaginative work to date in"Idiocracy." Luke Wilson ("Old School") and Maya Rudolph ("Away We Go")play subjects of a military experiment gone wrong who find themselveswaking up in the year 2505, when mankind has devolved to the point ofuselessness and near-extinction, brought on by needless over-breeding,poor dietary choices and mind-numbing television. Wilson plays theslacker and Rudolph a prostitute, and both turn out to be the strongestand smartest in a world gone terribly, terribly wrong."Idiocracy" is the kind of wacky yet centered cautionary tale that onlythe mind of Mike Judge could produce, but unfortunately loses steamhalf way through when its narrative is given nowhere to go, giving wayto a slightly clichéd Hollywood ending that doesn't quite gel with theoverall tone of the rest of the movie. It's a shame that the film bogsitself down in simplicity when much of the material at hand is rifewith social commentary and oh-so subtle jabs at its viewer as well asits production company, Twentieth Century Fox (who, in turn, abused thefilm so badly that it was an inevitable flop). There's heavy usage ofCGI to convey a trash avalanche as well as a monster-truck jam of sortsthat gives the movie an unintentionally cartoonish look and feel.Surprisingly, though, it works in the film's favor, giving the film awacky tone when it could easily slide into gloomier territory. It alsodoesn't hurt to have left-field cameos from the likes of Justin Long,Stephen Root and Thomas Haden Church, either.In the end, it's a film with bold ideas that doesn't quite reach itspotential. Still, though, like much of Judge's other work, it will haveyou thinking and questioning the world around you. Is "Idiocracy" aheadof the curve, foreshadowing the shape of things to come? Well, onlytime will tell. As for now, enjoy it for the sublimely ridiculouscomedy that it is.

Cult Classic
Not as good as office space, but still worth having in your DVD collection.

Bad, real real bad...
Really? Honestly? If you have but one percent of a brain in your head, you'll stay away from this monstrosity. Horribly acted, horribly thought out and just plain horrible. I had hopes from the preview, but the preview fails to show the stupidity that is this movie. Perhpas the irony is lost on me. Perhaps this is just bad satire. I don't know, but what I do know is that the actors lost me as a fan for participating in such drivel.

The Future Was Never Dimmer.
I loved this movie. It is Voltairian satire, appropriate to the times.The movie is pretty much a comic book, a cartoon, adapted to thescreen. It is purposefully non-cerebral. The best satirists can mimicwhat they sense, and abstractly present it, and that is what Mike Judgehas done. He's holding up a funhouse mirror for us to see ourselves andsaying "This is the direction we are heading. And we're accelerating."Humanity is not only swirling in the toilet, it is getting darker bythe minute. Good humor joins incongruities together, and Judge has done this well.His union of the military with the prostitution game, ubiquitous coffeeshops with sex parlors, the presidency with black gangstas, the medicalprofession with a McMenu and doper culture are marvelous touches. Theone thing that is omnipresent in the future is garbage. Junk, junk, andmore junk to the point where it is overflowingly the new landscape.Vegetation has gone the way of the Dodo bird, the organic replaced bythe synthetic. It is a world completely unable to restore itself to anyreasonable semblance of order. Chaos reigns supreme. The only placewhere order still exists is the arena of Monster Truck competitionswhich somehow have also fused with ancient gladiator contests andmorphed into public executions. The only foods are junk as well. Andthe only beverage left is a sports drink "that's got electrolytes"that's also by corporate wheeling also completely replaced water.This movie could not be described as high art. What we normally thinkof as high art disavows itself of the comedic, it is more serious. Buthigh art arouses in the observer a complex process of feeling, or oneof thinking which persists after the exposure. And in that sense thismovie is accomplishing the same thing. It's making us think. Maybe itis high art. It would certainly qualify as high art in the futureaccording to Judge.Great movie!

Promises fall short
Mike Judge has always had an eye for idiocy and has always delighted inpointing out the absurd in a direct, almost painful manner. This timehe may have gone too far though; instead of taking a step to the sideto allow the audience to see stupidity for what it is, he revels in it,smearing himself, the characters, and his film with a level of idiocythat may seem outlandish or even cartoonish to many, but may also,shockingly, seem all too familiar to anyone that's ever visited sanddunes, stadiums, cinemas, or any other place where the masses gather.Judge's targets this time around are the usual suspects: corporateAmerica, monster truck fans, fighting fans, sex-crazed lowlifes, custommotorcycle fans, beer can cognoscenti, etc. Starbucks, Fox News {sic},Carl's Jr., Costco, and countless others come under his fire and mostdon't do so well. However, the film doesn't gel well at all. ThePresident, the Attorney General, Rita, Joe, and Upgrayedd were allexcellent, and the President's address to what was apparently a jointsession of Congress was actually quite realistic, what with all theswearing (like any respectable modern-day VP, I guess) but the filmseems to plod on from one mini- skit to another. All is not lost in the world of tomorrow, despite the extent to whichmorons have taken over mainstream society. There's no hint of racism oreven religion, meaning that no matter how dumb people are in thefuture, even they can figure out they're all the same under the skin,and even they can figure out that talking to somebody invisible in thesky and asking for favours is, well, dim... If you like idiots, or even if you are an idiot, this film isrecommended -- but only for a slow Sunday afternoon or early AM after along night out. It's heavy-handed and can be strident at times, but allsaid, it's good clean fun.

Joe (average military) engages in a hibernation experiment that hurdles him 500 yrs and 100 I.Q. above the rest.
This is by far one of my favorite films (top 5) ever. I am surprised toadmit this film is even better than Office Space (if the true followerscan believe that). I have to write this review because this movie is(like office space) under rated and not advertised enough. I findmyself laughing out loud just thinking about some of the lines from thefilm - out of the blue. It is the kind of movie that gets better eachtime you watch it (twice in a row one day). So much going on in thebackground. Their is this one scene were Joe freaks out because he seesthe date (2505). He takes a look out the window and buildings are tiedtogether, cars are piling up from a bridge that is out. But if you lookreal close, a cop car drives right past the pile up with a fresh car toboot and does NOTHING. It is the kind of stupid funny that some peoplemight cringe at, but it is far from a mindless shallow movie as I thinkit points out what we are doing to ourselves as a civilization in asatirical way. I can think of at least 20 one liners that are probablya lot funnier if you see it actually happening. One cute little sceneis when he goes to "St. Gods Memorial Hospital" (seeing is importantbecause misspellings and hospital didn't fit so they started writing itcrooked on the building like a kid that ran out of room on the line hewas writing on and shrunk and twisted it). In the hospital (background)their is this guy playing a slot machine to win free medical care. Thenyou see this robotic floor cleaner that keeps bumping up against thewall saying "your floor is now clean", and that little strip is clean,but the rest of the floor is trashed. Just the look on the receptionistface as she is obviously bored and annoyed, completely in her own worldthe whole time Joe is talking to her. You can see she has a key pad infront of her with pictures of the reason for the visit ( baby born,broken bone, bullet wound). Its great, the receptionist could care lessabout Joe, but the automated system is so polite. Actually she doesn'teven talk to Joe just the computer. And their is this guy in thehospital that is clearly there because he is stuck in his own shirt(background again). It actually took longer to talk about it all thanjust to see it happen. Its not forced like one joke to the next, itsmore like another world that parallels ours and highlights everythingridiculous. Much like Office space left us all wanting that swinglinestapler, this movie will leave you wanting BRONDO "the thirstmutilator...with electrolytes. I could talk about this movie all daylong, but it would be best if you just watch it.

This movie outlines my worst fear: de-evolution
I loved this movie, it was recommended by a friend and I'm glad that I took his recommendation. It annoyed my wife somewhat, but she couldn't stop watching either. Definitely not something to watch when the kids are in the room; the intellectual downslide depicted in this movie comes complete with the lazy, ignorant, vulgar speech patterns that are already taking root in today's society. After watching this movie, you will never look at those slovenly, unsophisticated, prolific families walking around Wal-Mart the same way again. When I see these people now, I can't help thinking: "It's already happening!" This movie should be compulsory viewing for smart people: We need to step up our breeding campaign.

it's wonderful
A mockumentary on the stupidity that america will be morphed into by it's management by corporate america who work solely off of a greed incentive. Funny in places, plain stupid in others, this farce was entertaining.Rumor has it FOX news was very unhappy with it's depiction in the movie, as the talking head syndrome is taken to it's logical conclusion.

Dumb, but enjoyable.
I found this movie dumb, seriously missing a plot, full of a range ofprofanity and generally enjoyable.It's not one to watch if you are trying to impress someone with yourmovie tastes, but sometimes it is good to watch something completelyunchallenging. And this fits the bill quite well.I can't ever see it being a cult movie (it would be darn hard tojustify ever watching it again) but if you have an adolescent sense ofhumour, it may be worth a look on the night where you really havenothing better to do.It's much slicker than Office Space (other dumb humour also from MikeJudge) is much more of a one joke movie than some of his otherofferings.

Pretty Darn Funny
Definately crass. But also smart and darned funny. An average guy is frozen as an army experiment but wakes up 500 years in the future where the world has become so dumbed down he's the smartest man on earth. There are some great site gags(The sign on Saint Gods Hospital doesn't fit on the building and trails down the side). Everything is sponsored and a sports drink comes out of water fountains.Mike Judge has an eye for this kind of humor and Luke Wilson's average guy blandness is perfect.
John Smith (08 May 2012)
Funny and entertaining on a solid level throughout
Do be fooled by this movie's title, it's called 'Idiocracy' and that itis! Funny (and somewhat unique) plot, decent cast and dumbest linesever made make this movie a sure thing for any fan of the comedy genre.Luke Wilson stars as Joe Bauers, a completely average fella, so called"average Joe" that literally ranks totally average at every test chartthere is. Under some circumstances he is put inside of some capsulewhere he was supposed to be preserved for a year within the militarybase for a good ol' government experiment. But he is not alone, also alocal prostitute is in the same position and put away for same amountof time (for cash of course). I thought the casting could be better asfar as that prostitute character is concerned, Maya Rudolph shouldn'tbe a first choice for playing well-important and involved character,the prostitute Rita.The twist is of course that Joe and Rita didn't wake up as they weresupposed to (in a year), it's been more like... 500. And that "futureworld", 500 years into the future is a joy to behold really! If you'rea comedy fan that is. That's when the fun starts and the real comedy isunleashed. By that point until the end i enjoyed almost every sceneequally, some solid, crude and dumb humor is seen. Overall this movieisn't anything spectacular or even close, but it won't keep you hangingtrust me, it will entertain you in a good dose throughout. You couldeven say that this movie can be thought-provoking to some (those whoplan to live another 500 years or so), and that's a solid fact to behonest. It depends if you take this movie as a pure comedy or as asocial-satire, either way you're gonna laugh!

Way to go South Carolina Public Education... wait a minute???
I live in South Carolina. It's like a third world country in the USA. If you live anywhere else, save a little money, move there and live like a king. I think there's 3 Costcos in the entire state. There has been talk of building more for years, but so far nothing. The movie was funny,as well as, thought provoking. How far would our society have to go to be like the one in this distant future? Unfornately, not very far at all. Would watch again.

Love-or-hate movie, but I loved it
So presumably you've seen the basic premise, which is also the basic joke, and everything revolves around it. It can get overbearing (yes, they're stupid, I get it), but there are lots of little background jokes (like the buildings that are tied together to keep them standing) that made the movie really enjoyable. It's a very intelligent movie. Unlike say Beavis & Butthead or Office Space, this movie is not merely about making fun of stupid people: its message is genuine concern about how anti-intellectualism is hurting society. For that reason it can seem more preachy and less purely entertaining than Judge's previous efforts, but it's my favorite of his movies.For my part, I found this movie hilarious and extremely quotable (especially Dax Shepard's fantastic delivery). In fact, it's made me much more likely to have kids myself.I rented it and couldn't stop watching it, so now I'm buying it. Highly recommended; give it a try and give it a few minutes to get started, then enjoy the heck out of it.
