this movie be quite a pleasant surprise . i have anticipate it for a long time and and be afraid go in that it couldn not possibly live up to my expectation . it exceed them . i adore this movie . hilarious from start to finish ( stay until after the end credit . ) and it be absolutely remarkable how a movie about dumb and annoy character can be so intelligent and witty and and engage . with it obvious matte painting and the movie future earth recall the planet of the ape series and other sci fi movie of that era . in fact and this movie be essentially planet of the ape and but with people who be the mental equivalent of ape . it move at a fairly brisk pace and and luke wilson carry the movie quite well and with a character that recall the one he play in bottle rocket . ( there even a not so subtle nod to bottle rocket in an early scene ) . maya rudoulph be also surprisingly good a a former painter who be freeze as well . despite all it strength and idiocracy have the distinct feel of a movie that be take away from the director or editor before it could be fine tune . i can not for the life of me understand why a movie this funny would just be dump into a few theater with no advanced screening and no trailer and no marketing whatsoever . it a if the studio decide they be not go to spend any more on it and just walk away . or maybe they think the movie have the making of a cult classic and and the only way for it to become a true cult classic be to set it up to fail . whatever the case and it be a shame and because mike judge and this film in particular deserve well . i predict this movie will have real leg on dvd and and word of mouth will propel it to the success it deserve . perhaps the fox executive saw themselves in the character and be confuse and and think it be a documentary .
