Seriously the older it gets, the better this movie becomes. It becomes slightly less of a comedy and more of a documentary as time passes.

The best thing about this stupid story is the title. Give a miss.

Very insightful look at where we as a society could wind up... Mike Judge has definitely hit the nail on the head with this satirical look at where we seem to be going as a society.

Mike Judge has a gift for delivering brutal satire in the trappings of low comedy. Though director Judge was given very little money to make this film and was deterred from getting a proper release from 20th Century Fox, there's plenty to…

Trashy film.

It's startling how close they came to being prophetic in this idiotic and self-aware movie.

A fantastic movie that isn’t such a stretch in the 2020s. Expect a goofy, immature take on an interesting premise of waking up to a future of dumb. Not a true classic, but certainly memorable I have to admit I only saw Mike Judge as an…

I think this movie is awesome. I've only been waiting for it on hold for over a month on 5 copies, that speaks for itself. People who are rating 1 stars on this are offended and the same people this movie represents LMAO! Can't wait to see…

Sad but true. I call my neighbor across the street Upgrayedd.

spent 15min. of my time on this waste of time. Interesting how everyone gets a tattoo, just like at the death camps. Is this what democracy means?

Laugh out loud funny! Two people wake up very far into the future to find that things have only gotten worse.

This movie is now a documentary.

The plot is that the population gets dumber through an evolutionary process, but I submit the fact is that people can and do get dumber through cultural processes. If the news and entertainment you see pushes dumb ideas which you come to…

Idiocy is more like it. Age suitability: 13 years and younger.

This movie may appear cheezy, but it is so true. My dad suggested I watch it, and I suggest that everyone watch it.

Who, in 2006, knew "Idiocracy" was so prophetic? When we saw it back then, we gave it about 3.5 stars. Having just watched it again in 2020, we now rate it at least a 4.5, maybe a 5. Well worth watching, if only to see how far we've fallen.

Even though I love Luke Wilson, I could not bear the lameness of this juvenile flick.

Directed by Mike Judge in 2006, this stupid comedy delves into the dumbtopia. If you think you're stupid enough, this flick is for you. If you'd like to waste your time, this is just for you. If you'd like to see a stupid world, you for…

This movie is very funny, but given the current state of the world, also very scary.

Just ok.

A 20 minute sketch that just wouldn't end. The jokes were bland, and it really had nothing more to say other than "people are getting dumber". It wasn't clever in any of the ways they showed it, and it was so completely boring. It's a…

What a stupid movie with lame jokes and stupid satire.

Excellent satirical comedy that takes direct aim at contemporary society.

IDIOCRACY has become sort of a cult classic. Personally I found it funny. I think if you liked, say, OFFICE SPACE, you'll enjoy it.
