Idiocracy

Directed by: Mike Judge
Starring: Luke "I needed the paycheck" Wilson

The narrator of Mike Judge's latest bowel movement helpfully informs us that brain-dead entertainment has helped to create an entire society of morons. Here is a shining, classic example of a self-fulfilling prophecy: Watching this movie for the full ninety minutes will actually significantly lower your IQ. It's a cautionary tale about the value of education told with the subtle nuances of fart jokes and groin injuries. It makes my head hurt just thinking about it.

The very people that Mike Judge is mocking are the only people that will appreciate the humor. So if you're a fan of the Jackass franchise, this may well be your Citizen Kane. For the rest of us, who are not at risk of winning a Darwin Award this is more like Cabin Boy.

Score: 1/12 monkeys
