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

Some reviewers have named "Idiocracy" a flawed masterpiece, and that might be valid, but there is so much funny stuff in this film, I'm willing to overlook some artistic flaws.
The premise of the film is rather BRAZIL -Lite: the future is not so bright, not at ALL bright. We're drowning in garbage, the average intellect of the population has sunk to below-Jerry-Springer lows, and there is a dust bowl and famine as well. The world in the 2500's has become a place where Starbucks is a ... Read More

This movie is absolutely hilarious!! The name alone says it all. Mike Judge is such a genius. This movie could very well turn out to be a true story or a harbinger of things to come. Goofy yet prophetic. Beef Supreme Rulz!!!!!

I have to admit that I am a fan of distopian comedies, and this one did not disappoint me. As others have noted however, it hits a bit close to home - I too doubt that it would take 500 years for humanity to devolve to the level of stupidity portrayed in the film.
