This film is a reasonably funny satire on the state of mankind in the distant future, for about 30 minutes. Then, seemingly every aspect of the film deteriorates - actually mirroring the decline of civilisation in the film very nicely. So if that was intentional, this film is the work of a genius! But it's not. It's shit made by a one-hit wonder director.

Luke Wilson represent the smart person with taste in a sea of tastelessness, and is so frustrated that he is hooked up with a woman of fiduciary virtue. That's all there is.There's a plot about a dystopic future, there's a whole setting about how American's taste has bottomed out, everyone in the future has a double digit IQ, and, essentially, things are beyond bad.It's a tasteless comedy meant for younger audiences, older high schoolers and post college grads who have yet to find their niche. The psychiatric formula in this thing is out of sociological-fear screenwriting 101, where sexual gratification is seen as cure all to "smart people's" ills, when, in fact, as per the setting and resolution of the plot, it may actually be the setting and other surroundings the subject is in that needs addressing. In other words, maybe the world is junk, but getting hooked up with a hottie isn't going to solve nor change that, nor even make it better until the world is de-junkified (to coin a phrase).As a one time young budding screenwriter who's pulled back the curtain on a number of scifi films, as well as dramas, comedies and so forth, I think I can safely say that this thing is pretty tasteless, even though it reflects some of my outlooks in my younger days. Even so I can't say I liked this thing too much. It has a few minor highs, but the over the top nature of it reminds me of how tasteless humor came into vogue in the early and mid 1980s, and has come home to roost ever since.Ergo, I don't think ti's a very good film, though the premise is certainly semi-interesting from a lay person's perspective.I really didn't get anything out of it, and just thought the whole thing was abysmal in taste. The same film could have been made for all audiences and told the same message without crass and disgusting blue humor. Lastly, this is probably my last film review. The IMDB has done its best to alter the format of their pages, effectively hiding what used to be showcased user reviews. I kind of know the reason, but will refrain from any commentary, just announce that I'm dissapointed with the decision, and, to keep it in vein with the spirit of the film, I feel like Joe Bauers as I sit here writing this last paragraph. As for the film itself, eh, it's marginally interesting, competent on the technical level, but otherwise I'd skip it. There's nothing in this film that anybody isn't aware of, and, regrettably, misses an opportunity to cast a wider net to a larger audience. I mean, aren't films supposed to be inspirational? There's no inspiration here. Watch at your own risk.

"Idiocracy" had the potential to be a very good movie and satire. But the overboard use of vulgarity throughout ruins this film. It might be the focus of the film. But, whether or not, it detracts from it as a film one could watch for fun or for its satire I note that many reviewers panned people who didn't like it for the social aspects. Would those who enjoy such vulgarity want their families or circles to talk and behave thus as normal? With a better twist and the vulgarity cut, this could be a very good satire.

Full of funny comments and nice slang to learn so you can be really hip on the street. Like who don't wanna run around saying "go away... batin'..." or "I like money" or even "Carl Junior - F*** you... I'm eating"The acting and atmosphere around the entire movie are fantastic as it has a huge prop setup and almost no CGI. All designed for this movie and I'm still looking for those sweet satin polo shirts. If only they could be bought...If you like peeing your pants, while your laughing. Then IDIOCRAZY is just what you need. Because while you will be laughing, you will exercise. And exercise is good for you. So this movie is good for you.This movie has its own energy! That created a brand inside the movie which got so popular that they actually start selling it!What more do you need!?
