REVIEWS FOR IDIOCRACY
Top CriticEven 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.
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.
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.
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.
Jan 24, 2007
An intermittently amusing -- and sometimes lazy -- satire that plays like a so-so episode of Futurama.
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.
Jan 12, 2007
We may look back at this film in 500 years and realize that Mike Judge was better able to predict the future than Arthur C. Clarke did with 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Jan 11, 2007
Forget the fact that you've never heard of this movie. It's one of the funniest movies of 2006.
Jan 11, 2007
...seems more like 'Selected Scenes from 'Idiocracy'' than it does an actual film. Still, there are some genuine laughs to be had here, and Judge's vision of a future dominated entirely by morons is memorably bizarre.
Jan 11, 2007
[E]ven more trenchant, more damning, more -- hell, I'll say it -- revolutionary than Office Space.
Jan 9, 2007
The film stinks.
Jan 9, 2007
By refusing to distance itself from its targets, Mike Judge's brand of satire risks being mistaken for what it's satirizing.
Jan 8, 2007
Trust me, it’s a blast!
Jan 5, 2007
A curiosa premissa rende algumas boas piadas, mas, depois de algum tempo, estas acabam se tornando repetitivas e a narrativa perde o ritmo.

Even if the film contains the single biggest laugh I've had this year at the movies, Idiocracy is a terribly muddled affair.
