I think it's quite telling of the Fox network not giving this film the attention it deserved, they and many other great corporations will be the downfall of our civilisation. Idiocracy is an intelligent satire that is both funny and frighteningly possible. Great stuff from Mike J...( read more)

Idiocracy is a film with a concept. Humans are devolving into a bunch of idiots. And if you really think about it, this could happen. Yes, the film is utterly stupid. It would be so easy for an audience to throw up their hands any be done with this movie. But I'm willing to ...( read more)

This movie made me laugh my ass off every second. Don't know why it didn't get a cinema release outside the U.S. Standout scene is the "ow my balls" TV program. Hilarious.

This was an easy-to-watch comedy and it had some funny scenes. Luke Wilson stars as a man who wakes up 500 years in the future only to find out that all the Earth's citizens have turned dumb. He discovers that he's actually the smartest person on Earth and he goes on a quest to i...( read more)

Not much of a comedy, this movie is based on a prediction regarding a stupid distant future (500 years).
Personally I think that age has already began.

November 5, 2007I couldn't even finish watching this film because it disgusted me so bad. It kind of reminded me of one of those cheesy B-flicks. What's even worse is the fact that it describes the world we live in right now, not the future. Stupid humans, when are we going to learn.

April 2, 2007It is not dumb comedy. It is a very smart film about a very dumb society (ours). It falters a bit during the last 20 or 30 minutes, but up until then the jokes are sharp and on-point. The opening narration is worth the price of admission alone, and yes it is eery how close the "future" is, given the state of things, and how no one really seems to care. The film is seething with outrage through the seams.

February 13, 2007This movie is awesome. Luke Wilson is great, Dumb comedy but really funny if you like dumb comedy

January 12, 2007It is definitely worth a watch and the funny comes from knowing people, or encountering people in real life, who are just like the morons in this film.
It can be a bit scary because you can see how this could happen in the future so be aware you may have that reaction instead of finding it funny. -
November 29, 2006So what is people actually think? It seem most people agreed with it being funny but too real that it actually scare the shit out of some people (what kind of realism are we talking here?)
Is the movie worth a watch?
