Idiocracy A Movie Review	MPAA Rated - R It's 1:24 Long A Review by The Dude on the Right

"Idiocracy" opens up explaining that there is a growing problem in the world. It seems that as the smart folks keep putting off having kids because of reasons like "it’s not the right time yet," "the economy isn’t stable enough to have kids yet," and "now that you're ready to have kids, your sperm count is too low so we’ll have to try invitro-fertilization, and sadly you die of a heart attack while trying to spunk in a cup." As such, the world is running out of smart people. The dumb people, portrayed mostly as white trash, a.k.a. "Jerry Springer" episode folks, are procreating at an enormous rate.

Enter Luke Wilson as Pvt. Joe Bowers. He’s pretty much a nobody in the Army, and likes it that way, working in a records basement where he does nothing all day. With no family and no life, he is the perfect candidate for a new hibernation experiment where he, and fellow subject, a hooker named Rita (Maya Rudolph), are placed in these boxes for what is supposed to be one year’s worth of hibernation.

When the program gets scrapped due to improprieties of the base commander, the base also gets scrapped, finding our two subjects in a giant pile of garbage. Then the future comes and when there is a garbage avalanche, Joe and Rita find themselves in world where stupidity reigns, to the point the people can’t figure out why they can’t grow any crops anymore after they have been watering them with a sport’s energy drink.

Well, as Joe’s luck would have it, he gets arrested, and as part of being arrested you are given an IQ test, and wouldn’t you know it, it turns out Joe is the smartest person in America and President Camacho, straight from the wrestling world, with the city folk coming down on him for their recent ills, figures maybe Joe can save the world.

And so Joe has to quickly learn to interact with a world of dumb-asses, meanwhile looking for a time machine so he can get back to his world.

That’s really enough of the story because like Mike Judge’s other cult classic, "Office Space," instead of life at work, this is a great satire of our future. Sure, there are some flaws, like if the world is so full of dumb people, well, who is actually making any of the products they use, but it’s easy to get past that when you are cracking up as the idiots try to explain to Joe that the sport’s drink is used to water the crops because it’s got electrolytes, and that’s what a body craves, how Costco has grown to be the biggest of big box stores, with a store measured in square miles rather than square feet, and that the burger joint "Fuddruckers" has, over the years, and as the population has gotten dumber and dumber, finally morphed into "Buttfuckers" (me, I always nicknamed it "Ruddfuckers," but what do I know?).  That is the humor you will get in this movie, so you can probably already tell if you will be a fan.

I will admit that "Idiocracy" won’t be for most folks, but for everyone who is a fan of "Office Space" and can get that type of humor, I would highly recommend checking this out once it hits the DVD market. It’s 4 stars out of 5 for "Idiocracy."

That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
