What did you think of it?
I'd never even heard of it, but am intrigued--especially since I've never been quite sure as to where Mike Judge's sympathies lie.

2. Could you PM me about that? |
|
Don't wanna spoil it for others, but I'd like to know if I'd enjoy it, or if it would ruin my enjoyment of Office Space.

6. Nah, it's just about how the idiots of the world take over, because humanity |
|
reached a point where people were no longer in danger of predators so natural selection failed - and the world is eventually taken over the people who have nothing better to do than have unprotected sex. Ya know, freepers

3. I loved it - but be prepared for it to live up to the title |
|
it's a purposefully dumb movie, but quite biting satire.

5. The first 20 minutes were hilarious |
|
The rest was so-so, but not a wasted evening.

7. Yeah, funny but a bit disappointing. |
|
More slapstick than satire.

I thought the satire could have been keener given how thoroughly Judge torpedoed corporate culture in "Office Space," but still, the shit's funny.
