Plot Synopsis:

Quote: From Mike Judge, one of the creative minds behind Beavis and Butt-Head, King of the Hill and Office Space, comes an outrageous sci-fi comedy that'll make you think twice about the future of mankind.

Meet Joe Bowers (Luke Wilson). He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. But when a government hibernation experiment goes awry, Bowers awakens in the year 2505 to find a society so dumbed-down by mass commercialism and mindless TV programming that he's become the smartest guy on the planet. Now it's up to an average Joe to get human evolution back on track!

Filled with razor-sharp sarcasm and outrageous sight gags, Idiocracy will make you laugh out loud whether you're an absolute genius or a complete idiot

it actually wasnt straight to dvd... it had a VERY limited theatrical run... I don't get why the studio dumped this.. considering the cult status of Office Space.. it makes no sense that they dumped this.. unless it is horrible.. but I have heard to the contrary on that

I saw it during it's limited run, it surprisingly was dumped at my theater for two weeks. It's pretty funny, not as good as Office Space but manages a few dumb chuckles throughout. Definitely worth a view if you're a Judge or Office Space fan.

from the looks of it...i am the only person so far that thought this movie sucked!!!  I was so looking forward to it also.  i'm an "office space" fan...and this was no "office space"...or "king of the hill"...or "beavis and butt-head."  there were very few chuckles...i could probably count them on one hand and still have my thumb and index finger left.  the title served dual purpose.  this was a really dumb movie.  this movie left me complaining that I spent $7.00...there's no way in hell i'm gonna spend &27.98.  

i haven't blind buyed in over 5 years now, but I love office space, I might just have to take a chance and buy it or at least rent it then buy it the next day if it's anygood.they did get screwed over big time,with all the s**t that's ot there in theaters already I don't know why they would choose not to release it.

If the tagline has been "The moron says DUH!", it would be the best cover ever.

First off, anybody wanting to see this just because of Office Space is coming in with the wrong expectations. Office Space is a great movie, but WAY different than this film. This film is more along the lines of Beavis & Butt-head, which coincidentally did the same thing this movie does, which is criticising stupidity using stupid humor.

And I'm pretty sure that's why this movie got buttf**ked so badly by studio execs. The general audience, believe it or not, is too stupid to like a movie that makes fun of stupid people.

fox really f**ked mike on this one.

I am not even going to go on about the hypocrisy of Fox and its releases because they continually release far worse garbage than this but I will say I still can not believe that this was not released in theaters, even in limited release.  I figure that Fox would capitalize on the cult success of Office Space by giving this a shot, but I guess the marketing execs are the same type of people as the ones that are on both sides of Luke Wilson on this cover (who ironically enough looks how Mike Judge probably looked when Fox told them about this film's dumping).  Mike Judge is funny for the most part, even though I can't for the life of me see why Office Space is such a cult hit, (I bought it figuring it was going to be great but I was pretty disappointed in it, in retrospect, I should watch it again and give it a second try).  Why did Fox even allow him to make this if they were going to pull this?

The same thing happened when Fox dumped "Stay" last year as well.  Two high-concept films got sucked off by Fox into great almost-DTV films that got delayed a little over a year.

How's this for a new title: Fox Screws Mike Judge 100X Over!

I would have seen this movie if itever opened anywhere close to me.  Too bad for Mike.

We just got the poster at my theatre and I just hung them up!!That sux,really looking foward to this one
