Very interesting. This is the kind of film where you set all brain activity aside and just roll with the jokes, as often as they come. It's stupid and moronic in every way possible, but if you don't take it too seriously, it kind of comes off as an unintentional black comedy.

This is one of those movies that is so ridiculously stupid that you can't help but laugh. Tom Arnold knows he has a reputation of being an idiot and he so plays into it. The Stupids make Harry & Lloyd look like Einstein! While the movie has no real plot and is just about really dumb people, I have to admit that I laughed until I cried! When Tom Arnold writes that song about being his own grandpa, I almost lost it. This is one of those movies that has nothing to say, no real plot, it's simply about laughing at the stupidity of others and it sure is fun!

I liked how "The Stupids" embraced such sheer stupidity with utmost enthusiasm. It doesn't accidentally become stupid; it tries to get as absurd as it can possibly get. How often do you a find a movie like that? Realize that I'm not upholding stupidity by saying this. Stupidity, to me, is when a film does something stupid with the intention of being good: "The Stupids" is stupid with the intention of being stupid.

Silly shenanigans but it makes me laugh. Based on the frequently challenged books i read years ago.

I'm My Own Grandpa should've hit the top 40 if there was any justice in the world. A glimmer of hope for John Landis before he hit rock bottom with Blues Brothers 2000, this film has non-stop laughs and an excellent performance by Stanley Stupid himself, Tom Arnold. Landis does a fantastic job transforming a childrens book's sensiblities into all out insanity. This family should be dead by now. Also, it was nice to see the great Christopher Lee as the terrifying Mr. Sender, before he got bogged down in boring roles in the Star Wars prequels and LOTRS. This film is truly insane and very bizarre and worth a rental if you enjoy this type of thing.

The title says is all.

The Stupids isn't stupid. In fact, it's quite retarded. I really only watched this because my family friends recommended it, but it's still my fault for watching it. I still love my family friends, but I will always hate this inept comedy that's dull, unfunny, cheesy, and just painful to watch.

I like all types of classic movies: "Citizen Kane", "Casablanca", and for some reason, this movie proves that a bad movie can still be funny...."IN THE NAME OF THE LLOYD!"
February 16, 2010
unfortunatley i'm going to have to be totally obvious here and refer you to the title and be done with it.

I swear that this is some forgotten classic that nobody in the world knows about but me. I love this movie. Honestly. Not ironically. It's so adorable and funny and nothing but good, clean fun and I mean that in the least assholey way possible.

The name says it all.
There is humor in stupidity.
Therefore a stupid movie like this is funny.
I recommend Caligula also...
