I am pretty selective about what movies I watch and seldom watch comedies. I find so many comedies not very funny; just stupid, predictable, and shallow. This one I loved.
It was released in 2006, but it seems as if it is a commentary on the current political situation in which we find ourselves. The portrayal of the President, his cabinet, and the House of Representatives seems like it must be a parody of the current administration and House leadership. It is hard to believe that is not patterned after the current occupant of the White House and government leadership.
In the movie, Corporal Joe Bauers, a decidedly average American, is selected for a top-secret hibernation program but is forgotten and left to awaken to a future so incredibly moronic that he's easily the most intelligent person alive. The movie is described as "a satirical film critiquing modern society's anti-intellectualism and consumerism. It humorously depicts a future dominated by idiocy, highlighting the dumbing down of culture and moronic leadership. While some find the humor juvenile and the plot simplistic, others appreciate its prophetic vision and clever commentary. The film's portrayal of societal decay serves as both amusement and a warning, though its satire is seen as too direct by some. Overall, it sparks debate on intellectual laziness and cultural decline." (link)
It is currently free and available on Amazon Prime. You can also watch it on YouTube at this link. If you have watched it, or if you do watch it, please tell me what you think.
