Most things about the movie are just flat. Dare I say, average. The plot, characters, soundtrack, most of it.

The best parts are the fact that the movie doesn't end in a "nothing actually happened because the protags travel back in time hurr durr", a handful of jokes, and TERRY GODDAMN CREWS (a shame he didn't have more screentime).

It's okay.

I think people loved the premise as opposed to the actual movie. The whole "Everyone is getting stupid except me, those damn sheep, the world is going to collaspe because of how dumb everyone is!" is a satisfying thought for the insecure.

^ Hey now that's completely unfair.

This.

It's annoying how everyone thinks they're so smart by saying "We're turning into Idiocracy!!!!!" whenever something slightly dumb/they don't agree with happens on the world stage. It's the Rick and Morty of movies to some degree.

I think it's a good movie and that people overthink their criticisms of it. It doesn't make any enlightened claims and it doesn't pretend to be anything more than a comedy movie.

Even as a comedy, it doesn't work well.

The movie feels like an average 2000s comedy, it hurts. Bonus points for the dated CGI.

It's good enough for exactly one viewing.

Anything past that and the entertainment value starts to wear extremely thin.

It's got a lot of funny concepts. The execution of those concepts just aren't great imo. Like the whole Gatorade for plants thing is a really funny idea but none of the jokes in the movie about it actually make me laugh.

I did laugh at that "The United Nation UN-Nazied the world" and some other jokes, but most of it are just standard family comedy schlock.

That joke where Maya Rudolph baits the security guard by telling him there's a stripper in the hallway is a basic example of this film's general humor, and it's BORING.
