Editorial Review:
Description:
From Mike Judge, one of the creative minds behind Beavis and Butt-Head, King of the Hill and Office Space, comes an outrageous sci-fi comedy that'll make you think twice about the future of mankind.
Meet Joe Bowers (Luke Wilson). He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. But when a government hibernation experiment goes awry, Bowers awakens in the year 2505 to find a society so dumbed-down by mass commercialism and mindless TV programming that he's become the smartest guy on the planet. Now it's up to an average Joe to get human evolution back on track!
Filled with razor-sharp sarcasm and outrageous sight gags, Idiocracy will make you laugh out loud whether you're an absolute genius or a complete idiot!
Amazon.com:
Given that Office Space is a bona fide cult classic, it comes as some surprise that Mike Judge's follow-up wasn't more heavily promoted. Granted, this live-action comedy is a darker, more pointed proposition, but it's unfortunate that few theater patrons got the opportunity to, well, judge for themselves. In Idiocracy, the King of the Hill creator visualizes what would happen if Devo's proposition--that mankind is in the process of devolution--came to pass. The catalyst: the overeducated start having fewer children while the undereducated have more. Enter Joe (Luke Wilson), a military librarian with no family and even less ambition. The Pentagon chooses him for a top-secret hibernation project due to his extreme "average-ness." They select Rita (SNL's Maya Rudolph), a prostitute, for the same reason. When the experiment goes haywire, the two emerge 500 years later--rather than one. Now it's 2505 and they're the brightest people in the over-polluted land. Everyone else is, basically, Beavis and Butt-head. Yes, the satire couldn't be less subtle, but the premise gives Judge license to make as much fun of junk food pop culture as dystopian classics like 1984 and Planet of the Apes. Wilson wisely plays it straight, even if the actors who surround him sometimes succumb to excess. And the effects may be cheesy, but that just adds to the fun. Idiocracy features former footballer Terry Crews (Everybody Hates Chris) as President Camacho and Dax Shepard (Punk'd) as Joe's futuristic friend Frito. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

At least that's what I would tell people. The first time I saw it, I was embarrassed to admit I watched the whole thing. But, it grew on me. I had to see it a second time to realize it will become a cult classic. I love B movies. This is one of the best!

Idiocracy -- about a dystopia 500 years in the future where braindead fools populate the planet and everything is run by corporations -- was actually presaged by Friedrich Nietzsche in his philosophical masterpiece, Thus Spake Zarathustra. In it he heralds the dawn of a new philosophical era, the threat of nihilism, and the übermensch. The übermensch -- or the man who seeks to surpass himself, to reach his potential -- stands diametrically opposite to what Nietzsche calls The Last Man, who is perfectly ... Read More

With its own ironically goofy veneer of stupidity, crudeness and cheese, this film is a brilliant and hilarious study of stupidity, crudeness and cheese taken to extremes. The many reviewers who have given Idiocracy 4 and 5 star reviews recognize the intelligence within the farce, but few seem to note the undercurrent of sympathy and compassion that is present, as well. It is certainly a dark vision of a radically dumbed-down future, yet its view of the "average guy" of the present, personified by the Luke ... Read More

In retrospect, it is coming true.
Who wrote the script? a really good fortune teller?
