MOVIE REVIEW
Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph and Dax Shephard star in
Idiocracy, a surprisingly clever "dumb" movie from the director of cult classic Office Space. Wilson stars as an average Joe (named Joe) who is signed up for a military experiment to get frozen for one year. However, that one year turns into 500, and he is brought out of hibernation in a world where the stupid people in our society have out bred the smart ones to the point where there are only idiots left on the planet. Suddenly, this average Joe finds himself as the smartest man on the planet, but with intelligence comes high expectations - expectations he cannot easily fill.
