With JadeTv aka Celebrity Big Brother our screens this film, is very close to home, its a silly comedy from Mike Judge about an average guy in 2005 that wakes up acidently 500 years later, the world has changed dumbed down so much that he finRAB himself the most inteligent person on the planet.

Like Office Space the film distrib has wasted the film, not releasing it theatrically in the US, leaving it on the shelf for over 18 months dumping it out on straight to dvd hell.

Its not a great film, but its not a bad one, there are many worse films that get released theatrically, but like with Office Space the distrib 20th Century Fox has just dumped it, they release such stinker like Date Movie, But then a silly funny film like this one they hold on the shelf for ages and then dump it onto dvd with no marketing or advertising.

Mike Judge has with both Office Space and Idocracy made two comedies that are i believe very close to home in how the world is and how society inter reacts to it.

Fox allow the producers of The Simpsons to tease and play with their corporate look, but when someone with of similar talents won't allow him a chance to shine and show himself to the world....
 
Saw this film the other day and while certain bits made me laugh, others were just, well, not funny in the least.
I can see where Mike Judge was going with this, but I think even he dumbed it down too much, assuming that would make certain gags funnier....
Liked the Charlie Chaplin started World War II

er dude. Did he just say ass.....huh huh huh .

Sorry Loved Beavis and Butt-Head.
 
Its not such a terribly bad film that deserves the label of straight to dvd... There are far worse films that get released theatrically. But like Office Space before it Fox in thier wisdom decided to leave it on the shelf for almost 2years and then release it on dvd with no marketing in the US, over here it will be dumped aswell. I never understand the logic of that as these film companies spend millions producing these films only to chuck them away.
