Like The Big Lebowski and Office Space this has become a cult movie. The idea that one man and a prostitute wake up 500 years in the future surrounded by morons and idiots while commercialization of everything has spiraled out of control is funny. The amount of theaters this movie was released to was incredibly low in comparison to budget this movie had. If the movie was boring and uninteresting i would have understand, but this movie is funny. From what i understand the production company Twentieth Century Fox didn't want a lawsuit from any of the companies depicted in the movie witch they probably would have gotten if this movie actually became a hit in theaters.

They had a good idea for the movie and a great visual effects , but the story line was poorly made and the comedy is not good too , but it is a movie that lets you think about the future and is it really gonna be like this ???

The world is living it today!

I feel like I am not the only person that was disappointed with this film, it has its moments of clever and funny but that's kinda it. The plot is basically the world has become really stupid in the years leading up to 2505 and an ex-soldier played by Luke Wilson and a prostitute from the past played by Maya Rudolph are humanities only hope as they come from the world in 2006.

Now don't get me wrong, it's funny but the issue is it so overrated and you expect a masterpiece but it really is almost like a stretched out SNL sketch. I like the concept and Terry Crews as the President was by far the best thing in the film as it makes you understand how the world has become the way it has, but other than that I don't think I would watch this again and it may be because it just isn't my type of humour.

Also, please note I am not saying this is awful, but I am saying don't go into this film with super high expectations and you'll probably enjoy it more.

One of the great underrated movies. I can understand why a lot of people wouldn't like it (after all, it pokes fun of probably 60% of people), but I laugh the whole time each time (though sometimes it is a little too real)

We dont need to wait 500 years

Each passing year, this dystopian comedy gets closer to becoming a documentary.

ending kinda sucked but also didn’t suck, good movie tho.

"Idiocracy" is more of a silly little movie than it is a hilariously funny one. The opening case studies explaining how man has de-evolved over 500 years time is the best part of film. The dumbed-down world of the 26th Century as portrayed here bares a striking similarity to a lot of behaviors and attitudes found today; which is no doubt the entire thrust of the movie's joke as it's directed by "Office Space" creator Mike Judge.

A film showing reality and human desires, Good but not funny for a comedy

It is a nice documentary.

Ah it's fine. Not all it's propped up to be, other than Terry Crews not much comedy and even though the concept is interesting the execution is pretty boring and repetitive.

Literally our American government. If anything, theirs is better off.

Decent movie. Fun comedy, but now I see why people compared the current administration to this movie. I mean some people in the real gov't make Frito look like Einstein.

the venezuelan goverment in one movie

I know this sound a little bit paradox but i though the movie was stupid. Yes the idea was very interesting and had potential but the execution was very bad with no laughs.

Weird shit, I like it!
