This is the first non-animated work of Mike Judge I've ever seen. It wasn't bad. Mike Judge explores the idea of the future being a place overrun by dolts as opposed to being the technologically advanced place that most books and movies depict. It is only natural to believe that the future would be dominated by technology & science as we've steadily advanced towards such a future since the beginning of mankind. But what if intelligent people became a dying breed due to their decreased reproduction coupled with the rampant breeding of idiots? Mike Judge writes a comical work about that very idea.
I found the movie to be humorous but still not that funny. It was definitely a lot more vulgar than I anticipated. As absurd as the movie was, there was a small bit of truth to it; and that was in the commercialization of everything. In this future everything was either fully or partially owned by some big brand company. Even the government was bought out by big businesses. But still, I would say the best thing about the movie is its brevity. At less than 90 minutes, Mike Judge did understand that a movie about complete buffoons could not go on too long.
