Tom Arnold stars as Mr. Stupid, the head of a family of imbeciles who thoroughly lives up to its name. In this funny and cartoonish comedy the Stupids seem to misunderstand everything they come into contact with. When Mr. and Mrs. Stupid suspect someone of "stealing" their garbage, Mr. Stupid sets off to find the vile thief--only to come bumbling into the middle of an underground military weapons operation. In less than 24 hours, Mr. Stupid finds himself the target of military assassins, not to mention a wacky alien threat to his life. Meanwhile, his idiotic family sets out to find their missing leader, with disastrous results. When the family is finally reunited, it is thoroughly convinced there is a bizarre conspiracy against it and sets out to foil its enemies, narrowly escaping an elevator confused for a time machine and a janitor named Lloyd that the family is thoroughly convinced is God in heaven. As it wreaks havoc and confusion throughout the city, the Stupid clan manages to defeat its enemies through sheer dumb luck. [More]

Really, didn't the title kind of leak the fore-thought to this mess?

Madcap fun. It's Tom Arnold's finest hour, though that's not saying much.
