I thought the movie Idiocracy was pretty crappy and wasn't that funny at all. Mike Judge definitely should just stick to cartoons after watching that film.

 

The movie wasn't great, but overall the thought of how our society is shaped by large corporations grade inflation and marketing was a little creepy.  Unfortunately the characters were so idiotic in the movie it was pretty annoying, but I suppose that was the point (still think Mike could have toned down the stupidity and it would have been better).

 

The beginning case study was hilarious.  I can't remember the intelligent couples IQ it was around 130, but of course they never passed on their genes.

Didn't Michael Judge also do Office Space?

Anyhow, this being said, I am of the belief that Idiocracy has an interesting premise, but is executed VERY uneven.  Not a great work, but had a cool premise.  I ended up hunting it down and pick it up, due to the hype.  I still own it, and may use it as a reference occasionally, or break it out in Cult Classic movie night.

 

Yea, he did do Office Space which I forgot.  So I guess what I said was too harsh considering Office Space is a classic.  Idiocracy seemed like a good plot except it just didn't work out in the end.
