Idiocracy - C+

Tonight I took a chance on Idiocracy. This is Mike Judge's follow-up to Office Space, starring Luke Wilson as an average person thrust into the year 2505 by a botched army experiment. In the future, he is the smartest person in the world because of a gradual lowering of the intelligence of humans. That synopsis makes it sound like the worst movie of all time, but it was actually pretty funny in places. One highlight was a cameo by Bottle Rocket's Bob Maplethorpe.

This was a straight to video release despite its pedigree and legitimate stars, but has several clever lines and well thought out schtick involving the future and really stupid people.
