We may look back at this film in 500 years and realize that Mike Judge was better able to predict the future than Arthur C. Clarke did with 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Consensus: Idiocracy delivers the hilarity and biting satire that could only come from Mike Judge.
Synopsis: Writer-director Mike Judge's ("Office Space") unique brand of social observational humor this time examines an average guy (Luke Wilson) who volunteers to be the subject of a hibernation experiment... [More]
Reviews for Idiocracy
The delivery in Idiocracy is frequently flat, but its vision is dead-on.
09/23/06
Working on a sprawling canvas, Judge fills the screen with visual jokes, throwaway gags, and incisive commentary on the ubiquity of advertising.
09/08/06
Idiocracy ultimately sputters out, managing to go only so far as an engine built on buffoonery without adequate brains can handle.
09/16/06
The movie is bracing for its bile but ultimately more frustrating than funny.
10/03/06
It's a movie now, but in ten years it will be a historical documentary...
09/07/07
A curiosa premissa rende algumas boas piadas, mas, depois de algum tempo, estas acabam se tornando repetitivas e a narrativa perde o ritmo.
12/30/06
From start to finish this film is sharp, clever, and downright funny.
09/01/06
Forget the fact that you've never heard of this movie. It's one of the funniest movies of 2006.
01/11/07
Idiocracy is an unabashedly elitist film that includes fart jokes.
01/24/07
Seriously, no one gets rednecks, metalheads and morons quite like Judge, who manages here to revel in stupidity while effectively critiquing it.
09/05/06
The film stinks.
01/09/07
Most of these cartoon-like characters could only come from a mind like Mike Judge, who hasn't lost his ability to make stupidity both alarming and endearing.
09/03/06
Even if the film contains the single biggest laugh I've had this year at the movies, Idiocracy is a terribly muddled affair.
12/25/06
I look forward to a time when I can safely laugh at Idiocracy, but that time may not come any time soon.
09/24/07
Ow! My brain!
09/02/06
...each laugh is tempered with the unsettling realization that [Judge's] vision of mankind's future might not be too far off the mark.
09/13/06
Many people -- at least, a few people -- have noted the dumbing-down of America, but no one until Judge has blamed it on genetics
09/06/06
The theatrical release of Mike Judge's new comedy Idiocracy is one of the most egregious travesties of modern cinema.
09/04/06
[E]ven more trenchant, more damning, more -- hell, I'll say it -- revolutionary than Office Space.
