Idiocracy

Bad Mother Coitus Rating... 6 of 7

Loud and in your face advertisements are the only means of communication while constant, broad gestures born of light, color and faithless beliefs form in what should be right. Innocence and the inoculation of fearlessness of future are guided, largely, by apathy. Such are the trepidation's of Mike Judge's Idiocracy.

Easy prophesies are ably applied to MTV, Walmart (though the film pulls the punch by choosing Costco) and World Wresting Federation. So are the days of our lives 500 years into the future where the number one show on television is watching a man get his balls crunched and the number one movie is of a butt farting; one of the nicest touches was watching the evolution of the franchise name Fuddruckers to Butt Fuckers. One of the nicest touches is the greater at Costco saying "I love you" as you walk in the door showing the break down of all relevant language.

Mike Judge's second feature film received little studio marketing most notably because the film did not provide what a studio would consider a viably available trailer- the trailer that this website provides is a simple clip from the movie. The movie succeeds at pointing out the faults of our reality and the degenerates that we all are becoming not largely by choice but because it is easy.

This movie will never enjoy the same attention as Office Space as it is not as easily identifiable. Likewise it lacks the cartoon like characters that could be cookie cuttered into a common fools cube life. Instead the movie works on a much deeper level revealing grander truths and making it the superior picture.
