I just picked up this movie with a gift certificate from my birthday. Mentioned on Twit by Dvorak. While not as completely solid as “Office Space - Special Edition with Flair (Widescreen Edition)” (20th Century Fox) this Mike Judge affair is still a funny look at a future society where the dumb bred a bit better than the smart.Funny thing is I have smart friends turning out like the parodied couple in the beginning that find every reason to avoid having children till their relationship sucks and they break up. Water is replaced by a Gatorade like drink which the company that makes it replaces the FDA. Ow My Balls is the top show and just about every other soft spot of pop culture is skewered.
I laughed out loud several times but it doesn’t live up to its heritage. The best jokes were the subtle references and definitely less quotable than Office Space. This got dumped by Fox and should have had a better showing. But it is a great satire and worthy of at least dropping into your Netflix queue.
