"I like money."

Idiocracy - a very limited release film in 2005 starring Maya Rudolph and Luke Wilson. This movie is ridiculous and scary. The film depicts what would happen to the world if only the less intelligent procreated. Let me tell you the world would be a very scary place indeed.

Luke Wilson portrays an average joe military person. He is average. He has little ambition and likes it that way. He is of average health and intelligence. Maya Rudolph is a prostitute whose pimp Upgrayedd in exchange for a drop of criminal charges loans her for a year to the military. The military is launching a super secret operation in which they can freeze their military finest and therefore have at all times a super military force that can be frozen and defrosted as needed. Luke and Maya are frozen in an experiment scheduled to last for a year. Unfortunately for them no one knows about the project and when those in charge are removed from office no one notices that they are gone.

Fast forward 500 years into the future where they are defrosted and thrown into the intelligentsia's worst nightmare: a combination of slang, grunting and valley girl speech is the norm, powerade is spewing from the "water fountains", fast food is dispensed from vending machines and a recliner has a toilet built into it. Luke and Maya are the most intelligent people on earth. Life can't be good.

This is a horror film of sorts. Catch it on tv however, I'm not sure, although it is entertaining, it may not be be worth the rental except in certain select cases.
