      • Mar 14, 2019

        Proving only that dumber are those who try to argue with dumb people, this is a cheap one-joke comedy that should have been made as an SNL sketch instead of a movie, as it is too silly not to realize that there couldn't possibly be airplanes or stocks in a society like that.

        If you read the film title then that is the film in a nutshell, It's just pure stupid from start to finish, It did have the odd funny bit but not enough to be memorable or that good, It's not a terrible film it's just a bad film only 12 year olds or stoners would enjoy.

        Commentary on today's dumbed down society nearly goes for the throat, but decides to lie down and have a beer instead. And so its nearly funny. This though I like Maya Rudolph in anything.

        Idiocracy's self-aware stupidity only takes it so far; though it's got a handful of hilarious, gleefully idiotic scenes, the narrative runs out of steam long before the film has reached the end of its incredibly brief runtime.
