Idiocracy

The movie is bracing for its bile but ultimately more frustrating than funny.

The delivery in Idiocracy is frequently flat, but its vision is dead-on.

Working on a sprawling canvas, Judge fills the screen with visual jokes, throwaway gags, and incisive commentary on the ubiquity of advertising.

Judge has a gift for delivering brutal satire in the trappings of low comedy and for making heroes out of ordinary people whose humanity makes them suspect in a world where every inch of space, including mental, is mediated.
