Description

Requisite comic relief: white-guy “everyman” Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson) time-travels to a dystopian future that feels frighteningly closer today. Now a cult favorite, IDIOCRACY was, amazingly, never promoted whatsoever upon its release. Perhaps this was due to the film’s gleeful condemnation of corporate sponsorship, or its proposition that less educated folks are easier to manipulate. Either way, IDIOCRACY provides us with a hilariously uncomfortable image of a “future” in which one can be sent to jail for not paying for a doctor’s appointment, food production is collapsing, and enemies of the state are executed by monster truck.
