Maybe I'm crazy, but I just saw this movie and thought it was AWESOME. (by philshibano) |
I'm not sure why there are no articles or posters or anything about this film because I just saw it and thought it was AWESOME. I guess it's not for everyone because it's basically Kafka's "The Trial" meets "Beevis and Butt-Head", which is a pretty tough combination to swallow. Still, I thought it was great. If you're going to see it because you want a sequel to Office Space you're probably going to be disappointed. But if you want to see one of the most brutal, acid-tongued, and hilariously honest looks at where our society is headed you're in <more> |
A wonderful film - one of my favorites! (by sohngg) |
This movie is "the" stupid comedy of the year, and quite possibly the best thing from Mike Judge since "Office Space". If you are a Mike Judge fan, or enjoy shows like Futurama, then you are doing yourself a grave disservice by skipping over this little known, limited release. Although the DVD touts very few "bonus features", this film is certainly funny enough to make up for it's perceived "lack of value".This movie is about an army grunt by the name of Joe Bowers played by Luke Wilson who is part of a top secret Army experiment designed to <more> |
A Wonderful Film by Mike Judge. (by ReverendNathan) |
I absolutely loved Office Space, so when I saw his next work on IMDb I believe in 2003, when it was just named 'Untitled Mike Judge Project' , I flipped my lid. Summer of 2004 came, and it was the same idle page on the Internet. Had Mike given up? Finally, three Summers later the movie is out, and I am stoked to see it. Only one problem; where is it playing? Before Friday, no one had information on this movie... all I knew was a head's up that it was playing at the Arclight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. Now it appears there are a few more theaters that came out of the woodwork and <more> |
Iddiocracy - Two D's for a double dose of comedy (by motherfather) |
This movie was quite a pleasant surprise. I had anticipated it for a long time, and was afraid going in that it couldn't possibly live up to my expectations.It exceeded them.I adored this movie.Hilarious from start to finish stay until after the end credits! , it is absolutely remarkable how a movie about dumb and annoying characters can be so intelligent, witty, and engaging.With it's obvious matte paintings, the movie's future Earth recalls the Planet of the Apes series and other Sci-Fi movies of that era.In fact, this movie is essentially Planet of the Apes, but with people <more> |
Loved it, one of the funniest movies in 2006 (by Russman-3) |
Shame on Fox for dumping this movie. It was a total riot and I only hope that it will find a second life on DVD and cable.This is a hilarious satire. It takes the "What if" situation to an extreme and it doesn't pull any punches or kicks to the groin . It makes you think... what is to become of this empire once we've gotten totally to lazy and stupid? Everyone gets hit in this one esp. a number of major corporations, and even Fox News takes a punch which is probably why the movie never had a proper release - other than the marketing department over thinking the campaign and <more> |
The Donald Trump Story (by apeman45) |
This movie is actually an autobiographical depiction of the Trump presidency so far. Terry Crews does a great job as Trump although Crews' portrayal comes across as much too competent in comparison to the real life Trump. The world has been reduced to impulsive shallow people who only care about money and sex and self promotion. Enter the 2 stars, Maya Rudolf and Wilson who are well below average intelligence as part of a botched scientific experiment. At first they are ridiculed and persecuted by Trump and his followers because they use logic and they believe in science. Compared to <more> |
This is the beginning of a marketing mystery (by michaelplewa) |
There's no other word for it...Fox dumped this out, with NO marketing of any kind. Nobody in the country, other than those who have been looking forward to this film, know anything about it. All the red flags have flown. It has to be a mess, it can't be anywhere near as good as Office Space, right? Wrong. Though Office Space it ain't, this film definitely has satirical bite and wit. It's a misfire on certain levels, but who's to blame is left to mystery.Based on what is currently showing in theatres, I can say IDIOCRACY is a good movie. It's funny, sometimes <more> |
Just how stupid does this movie have to be for people to get the point? (by imdbjeff) |
Let me start by saying that if you're expecting subtle humour, you're in the wrong theatre. It's low-brow and heavy-hitting. But he's not out to tickle your funny bone. He's got the sledgehammer out and he's drawn a bead on the side of your head. But fear not. As movies go, this is a fairly gentle education. Oh, also, heavy on the swearing, but once again, Mike Judge, not Fred Rogers.Was this movie called 'intelliocracy'? F*** no. The gem, the essence that is Mike Judge is that he has the ability to make people laugh at themselves. Beavis and Butthead was most <more> |
A Great Sci-Fi Comedy! (by brianfizzy) |
I've never seen a movie get a worse release then this. And that's a shame, as this is the funniest film of the year! You would think an ad with the line "From the director of "Office Space"" would be enough to warrant a big release! But there are no ads, no posters, no website , I doubt the stars even knew it came out this weekend. What is 20th Century Fox thinking? Mike Judge's Sci-Fi comedy is set in 2505 but it could come true in about 10 years if things continue as they are. Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph get frozen in a top secret army experiment and wake <more> |
