Idiocracy

[MCT]

I like the love letter to Generation XYZ explanation...but I'd also say it's a mirror that he's holding up to America's face, daring us to stare at the reflection without laughing at ourselves. The brilliant part of Idiocracy is that we're finding humor in something that we should not be laughing at. Yes, Ow My Balls and Extra Big Ass Tacos sound like ludicrous concepts right now, but the reality is that the realm of the ridiculous is just a generation or two away. I look at Idiocracy as more of a cautionary tale than a comedy. It also works as a horror film, depending on how you want to view it.
