Idiocracy is easily the most potent political film of the year, and the most stirring defense of traditional values since Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France.

The whole film has a drab, somnambulant rhythm. Intentional or not, this is part of its genius.
October 4, 2016 | Full Review… -
If the world is going to hell in any number of handbaskets -- as Judge so acutely demonstrates that it is -- you might as well hitch a ride in his.
May 7, 2009 | Full Review… -
An intermittently amusing -- and sometimes lazy -- satire that plays like a so-so episode of Futurama.

By refusing to distance itself from its targets, Mike Judge's brand of satire risks being mistaken for what it's satirizing.
January 8, 2007 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
The movie is bracing for its bile but ultimately more frustrating than funny.

Crappy film.

While dumb people are an easy target, Judge makes a mistake in only working variants of this one riff.

Audience Reviews for Idiocracy

Mar 14, 2019Proving only that dumber are those who try to argue with dumb people, this is a cheap one-joke comedy that should have been made as an SNL sketch instead of a movie, as it is too silly not to realize that there couldn't possibly be airplanes or stocks in a society like that.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Jan 29, 2018If you read the film title then that is the film in a nutshell, It's just pure stupid from start to finish, It did have the odd funny bit but not enough to be memorable or that good, It's not a terrible film it's just a bad film only 12 year olds or stoners would enjoy.Jamie C Super Reviewer

May 11, 2015Commentary on today's dumbed down society nearly goes for the throat, but decides to lie down and have a beer instead. And so its nearly funny. This though I like Maya Rudolph in anything.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Jul 07, 2014Idiocracy's self-aware stupidity only takes it so far; though it's got a handful of hilarious, gleefully idiotic scenes, the narrative runs out of steam long before the film has reached the end of its incredibly brief runtime.Isaac H Super Reviewer
