Idiocracy

IDIOCRACY (2006) - Sept. 1, 2006
A silly but enjoyable film about a man and a prostitute who, in an experiment gone wrong, are cryogenically frozen for over 500 years. When they wake up, they find that evolution has favoured the stupid, and that America has been dumbed down to a ridiculous degree. Though not as good as Mike Judge's last film, the cult classic Office Space, this was pretty entertaining and had its moments. It's a bit perplexing that it was shelved so long, but with the numerous digs at American culture, maybe it hit a bit close to home. **1/2
