You have to see the movie — the trailer doesn’t do it justice.

There are a lot of pieces that are just over the top silly. But the premise is great: Survival rewards fecundity and the trend is that smart and learned people are having few, if any, kids, while the dumb are breeding like rabbits (remember these are trends, not statements that people with a lot of kids are dumb nor that people with few or no kids are intelligent).

Project this trend across 500 years and you end up with a pretty dumb populace. When an average guy from 2005 (or so) wakes up after cryostatsis, he is the smartest man on the planet.

You have to have a little patience with some parts, but afterward you will probably find it is one of those movies that is deeper than what you saw, funny on a deeper level, and a perfect analogy for places like, say, Greece.

First I am a bit tipsy so I hope this coherent : )
I logged into Netflix just to check it out.
We ‘rented’ under the trial period the movie Idiocracy and watched it as you suggested as a documentary. You were so right, that movie was amazing. Something that happened that was a little scary for me that never happened; I almost passed out tonight laughing so hard. That was a very strange experience.

We also been watching these no added cost streaming video’s and movies on Netflix we are so impressed with this company we are going to buy some stock tomorrow in the company.
Although their list of streaming video’s isn’t complete if you look you can find streaming movies that is not in their list.
