Idiocracy

Title: Idiocracy

Genre: Adventure / Comedy / Sci-Fi

Plot Outline: Private Joe Bauer, an Army librarian, is judged to be absolutely average in every regard, has no relatives, has no future, so he's chosen to be one of the two test subjects in a top-secret hibernation program. He and hooker Rita were to awaken in one years, but things go wrong and they wake up instead in 2505. By this time, stupid people have outbred intelligent people; the world is (barely) run by morons--and Joe and Rita are the smartest people in America.

Here's another one you might have missed. Idiocracy was written and directed by Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead, Office Space). Not sure exactly what happened, but it looks like the studios or distributors dropped this movie before it made it to the theaters. It's a shame because while not being a great film it is definitely better than some comedies being shown on the big screen. Don't expect any oscar-worthy performances or deep storyline in this one, instead look forward to some hilarious scenes of what might become of mankind in the year 2025. Luke Wilson does a decent acting job I suppose, but Terry Crews as President Camacho is priceless. If you don't know his name, look him up on imdb and i'm sure you'll recognize him.


This copy is dvd-quality. Also, there is a little scene at the end after the credits.
