Idiocracy

[jalapenoguy]

because of this thread i went out and watched this film tonight. it may have deserved a wide release but it was not a good comedy, not even in the ballpark of office space.

the premise was amazing and had tons of promise. the last half killed it though. it should have been about lukes character taking advantage of his "genius" but instead turned into a run of the mill sitcom.

if the movie lived up to the premise this had the potential of being a top 5 of all time comedy. unfortunatly judge took the easy way out. to me it was the exact opposite of office space and because of that i was thoroughly disapointed.

his intitial scene in the future is him using his wits to break out of jail. it goes from that to him not understanding why he is a smart man or why he is qualified to be secretary of state.

im saying don't watch the movie, you will be pissed after you do. right after i started watching my best friend called me to ask me what i was doing. told him i was watching this movie, then told him the premise. we both laughed together, making jokes for the next 10 minutes. unfortunatly those 10 minutes outlived the movie that followed.
