Crappy film.

| Original Score: D | Nov 20, 2020

Idiocracy is easily the most potent political film of the year, and the most stirring defense of traditional values since Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France.

| Apr 9, 2020

While dumb people are an easy target, Judge makes a mistake in only working variants of this one riff.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 9, 2020

Although Wilson's everyman is a bit too much of a blank slate to really care about, the gaudy visuals and cynical gags more than compensate.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 9, 2020

A movie not too bright, not funny, but that guessed right and predicted the incredible... The Apocalypse is now. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 20, 2019

The film was shelved good and hard after its initial release, and it's not difficult to see why. It's just a little too close to genuine reality.

Here we are, watching TPTB water the crops with Brawndo EVERY SINGLE DAY and a substantial chunk of the populace actively wondering why the rest of us are freaking out.

| Feb 28, 2017

The whole film has a drab, somnambulant rhythm. Intentional or not, this is part of its genius.

| Oct 4, 2016

The film is completely unique and its sci-fi bent is fully realized in a way that some sci-fi films fail to capture.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 14, 2016

This demented look at destructive mass consumption barely approaches feature length. Still, Mike Judge dots each appealingly cheap scene with spastic sight gags and offers fiendishly hilarious, frighteningly plausible examples of cultural decay.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 24, 2010

If the world is going to hell in any number of handbaskets -- as Judge so acutely demonstrates that it is -- you might as well hitch a ride in his.

| May 7, 2009

Even if some of the gags about dumb people start becoming tiresome, it's linked to a sensation of discomfort that should make us legitimately worry about the direction we're headed in.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 18, 2008

So-so attempt at revisiting Sleeper. Unfortunately Mike Judge is no Woody Allen, nor is Woody Allen himself nowadays.

| Nov 8, 2007

You have to love a movie that imagines a dystopic future in which the U.S. President is a former wrestler and porn star named Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

| Original Score: B | Nov 5, 2007

I look forward to a time when I can safely laugh at "Idiocracy," but that time may not come any time soon.

| Original Score: B | Sep 24, 2007

It's a movie now, but in ten years it will be a historical documentary...

| Sep 7, 2007

Idiocracy is an unabashedly elitist film that includes fart jokes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 24, 2007

An intermittently amusing -- and sometimes lazy -- satire that plays like a so-so episode of Futurama.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 18, 2007

Idiocracy's utter lack of promotion is now something of a minor legend, and it remains perplexing given the film's obvious charms.

| Jan 16, 2007

A cautionary, sci-fi comedy which envisions a miserable dystopia half a millenia in the future where humanity has degenerated instead of advanced.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 12, 2007
