Review of Idiocracy

Idiocracy (2006)
9/10
Cry-Laughing
14 October 2022
It's been a long time since I was laughing so hard. This movie is kinda like Airplane in that there are so many gags buried under the surface (the name on the side of hospital that doesn't quite fit right, or the cars driving off the broken highway and landing in a huge pile of other cars, for example). And then there are all the laughs on the surface like the men being so totally dumb for sex that they're not functioning properly...Oh wait, that's true even today, haha.

The writers do use a word or two that are no-no's in 2022, though. Surprised the cancel mobs haven't come after this movie yet.

Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph have good chemistry together. And, I liked the cameo by Thomas Haden Church as a corporate boss. Oh, and FOX News with its shirtless anchors! Too many laughs!!.
