Imagine a future with no smart people, where everybody sits in huge armchairs with built-in toilets, gawping at idiotic reality TV and grunting. This film isn't the first to play with the idea, but I've never seen it done so well. This vision of the future is done with great attention to detail including some very funny visual gags.

While being very funny, "Idiocracy" also manages to convey a serious message; that if smart people waste their gifts, then society as a whole suffers. There is an anger against lowest-common-denominator advertising and TV, running through the film.

Despite the low profile and the uninspiring DVD packaging (Fox basically hid the release: see the WikiPedia entry) this isn't an insignificant film. It's the genuinely funniest thing to come out of Hollywood in a while.

Very silly, lots of great satire.
