Critic Reviews for Idiocracy
All Critics (51) | Top Critics (12) | Fresh (37) | Rotten (14) | DVD (15)
Idiocracy is easily the most potent political film of the year, and the most stirring defense of traditional values since Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France.

The whole film has a drab, somnambulant rhythm. Intentional or not, this is part of its genius.
If the world is going to hell in any number of handbaskets -- as Judge so acutely demonstrates that it is -- you might as well hitch a ride in his.
An intermittently amusing -- and sometimes lazy -- satire that plays like a so-so episode of Futurama.
By refusing to distance itself from its targets, Mike Judge's brand of satire risks being mistaken for what it's satirizing.

The movie is bracing for its bile but ultimately more frustrating than funny.

Audience Reviews for Idiocracy
Proving only that dumber are those who try to argue with dumb people, this is a cheap one-joke comedy that should have been made as an SNL sketch instead of a movie, as it is too silly not to realize that there couldn't possibly be airplanes or stocks in a society like that.
Super Reviewer
Commentary on today's dumbed down society nearly goes for the throat, but decides to lie down and have a beer instead. And so its nearly funny. This though I like Maya Rudolph in anything.
Super Reviewer
Clever concept of an average modern-day man waking up in the future to be the smartest person in a sea of moronic masses. If only most of the movie didn't merely detail the exploits of said morons cuz that got annoying and pointless fast.
