Mike Judge's Idiocracy is worth watching, a sharp satire on the dumbing-down of American culture. It doesn't however have the qualities of his previous film, the now-classic Office Space. Mostly that is because the story is not as captivating, but also that Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph are given so few good lines. Dax Shepard is great however (and incidentally really stands out in Employee of the Month). Only the viciously funny satire saves it.
