One Paragraph Review: Idiocracy

As social commentary, what Idiocracy provides is excellent, serious and worthy of plenty of discussion. As a film, Idiocracy is less interesting and a little silly. In fact, I probably enjoyed the premise & concept more than the film itself. It's with out a doubt funny, but the style of comedy came off as too much "Wayans Bros" and not enough Mike Judge. My girlfriend pointed out the most resonating effect the movie had on us when, after the movie was over, she tilted her head and observed, "That movie made me feel dumber." I'm not sure if that was the intended ironic effect of the movie or just a statement on its overall sillyness, but it was definitely true.
