Profile of Idiocracy

The mood of Idiocracy is humorous, clever, and offbeat. The plot centers around an experiment gone awry, human nature, and a "fish out of water". It features farce and satire. Idiocracy is a comedy, adventure, and sci-fi movie. Stylistically, it includes a voice over. In approach, it is not serious and fantastical. Idiocracy is set in Washington DC. It happens in the future. It is especially suggested for teens. Note that Idiocracy includes profanity.

Summary of Idiocracy

Mike Judge (BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD, OFFICE SPACE) makes his second directorial foray into live-action comedy with IDIOCRACY. When a none-too-bright fighter pilot (Luke Wilson) volunteers for a military experiment that propels him 1000 years into the future, he finds himself in a dumbed-down society in which he is the smartest member.

Critics Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter
Idiocracy, is often stingingly funny -- and an undeserving resident of the summer's-end movie dumping ground.
Variety
A satire for its time. What Judge is less sure of here than in his previous, perfectly pitched live-action comedy "Office Space," is how to build a complete movie around his key ideas.

.
Full of great ideas but suffering from obvious producer tampering (See: the unnecessary voice over that explains all the jokes and the overly rushed pace, especially at the start) Idiocracy is one of the sharpest satires of our instant gratification...
Carlson Jr. - F$%# You, Im Eating!
Hil-ar-ious! While the story of the movie isn't great, the execution is superb. It's funny, witty, and there isn't much down time between funny moments. This movie has so many small aspects that make it funny, that you don't even catch most of...
