B
"Even if the film contains the single biggest laugh I've had this year at the movies, Idiocracy is a terribly muddled affair."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

2.5/4
"...consistently entertaining and sporadically hilarious..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

A
"The theatrical release of Mike Judge's new comedy Idiocracy is one of the most egregious travesties of modern cinema."  FilmJerk.com  Edward Havens

3/4
"It's a movie now, but in ten years it will be a historical documentary..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

F
"So puerile and gross that though the movie wants to say something about the dumbing down of America, it winds up not so much commentary as part of the problem."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/5
"Idiocracy ultimately sputters out, managing to go only so far as an engine built on buffoonery without adequate brains can handle."  Boxoffice Magazine  Jay Antani

7/10
"Trust me, it’s a blast!"  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

2.5/5
"We may look back at this film in 500 years and realize that Mike Judge was better able to predict the future than Arthur C. Clarke did with 2001: A Space Odyssey."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

"Idiocracy is polemic in search of a punch line or plot, and often finding neither."  Pretentious Musings  Kevin Koehler

"[E]ven more trenchant, more damning, more -- hell, I'll say it -- revolutionary than Office Space."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

1/5
"There's about 15 minutes' worth of laughs here; the problem is that the film is 84 minutes long."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

B-
"An intermittently amusing -- and sometimes lazy -- satire that plays like a so-so episode of Futurama."  Lessons of Darkness  Nick Schager

2/5
"A curiosa premissa rende algumas boas piadas, mas, depois de algum tempo, estas acabam se tornando repetitivas e a narrativa perde o ritmo."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

4/5
"...each laugh is tempered with the unsettling realization that [Judge's] vision of mankind's future might not be too far off the mark."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

0.5/5
"The film stinks."  EDGE Boston  Phil Hall

4/5
"I look forward to a time when I can safely laugh at Idiocracy, but that time may not come any time soon."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

B
"You have to love a movie that imagines a dystopic future in which the U.S. President is a former wrestler and porn star named Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho."  Projection Booth  Rob Humanick

"Idiocracy’s utter lack of promotion is now something of a minor legend, and it remains perplexing given the film’s obvious charms."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor
