IDIOCRACY
Like his 1999 film OFFICE SPACE, Mike Judge's satirical comedy IDIOCRACY has become a bona fide cult classic since its original theatrical release. An army experiment places two exceedingly average test subjects — Army Corporal Luke Wilson and prostitute Maya Rudolph — in suspended animation. They awake 500 years in the future to discover that America has become exponentially dumber — a dystopian world of commercial oppression, junk food diets, overflowing garbage and crass anti-intellectualism. They are now the two smartest people alive. Screenwriter Etan Cohen tweeted, "I never expected #idiocracy to become a documentary," and, "I thought the worst thing that would come true was everyone wearing Crocs." DIR/SCR/PROD Mike Judge; SCR Etan Cohen; PROD Elysa Koplovitz Dutton. U.S., 2006, color, 84 min. RATED R
