The Stupids

This is beyond a shadow of a doubt the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. It's been a long time since I've seen it, but the jokes are NOT funny, the plot is painfully forseeable, calling the main characters stupid is to vastly upgrade their intelligence...uggh! I just wanted to punch Tom Arnold and make him cry because he wasted two hours of my life when I was done watching this piece of cinematic filth. I don't even know why I ever wanted to watch it, but remember if you see this movie: DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU. PS Tom Arnold's character sings a song in this movie called "I'm My Own Grandfather." Nuff said.

There's only one problem with THE STUPIDS: it's not a stupid movie at all. I have seen it with a few kids that literally loved its wacky succession of explosions, space aliens, animated characters, slapstick, music and outrageous settings and costumes. However, the movie's mostly aimed at adults that are intelligent enough not to take it at face value, and who are willing and able to actually pay attention to what's happening. THE STUPIDS is actually a merciless satire of xenophobia, of the conspiracy obsession and of the arrogant belief that God -er... The Lloyd- is on your side. Try to see this in English, as most of the puns get lost in the translation.

The characters were just too stupid to be funny! I'm sorry, I just couldn't be convinced to like this movie. Not even Tom Arnold as the star was enough to redeem this movie. Only if you think you can relate to the characters should you watch this movie, but I doubt that's remotely possible. I give this a 2 out of 10, let's just say I'm feeling generous today. :)
