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. :)

I vaguely remember this film. I do remember it for the one solid reason that it is the only film that I have ever walked out on!! and since then I have never seen it available to rent ANYWHERE!! I can't spoil it for anyone cos I can barely remember it!! To think, looking at the cast, it seemed a winner, with John Landis directing, but good god, they must have been paid a whole lot for this drivel!! All I can seem to recall is that the dad goes missing and the family try to search for him, by trying to put an actual photograph into the disc drive of a computer. I walked out after about half an hour of this. I must confess though, I'd love to see if I can get a copy, just to see if it really was that bad!! It wouldn't surprise me if this was on every actor's black list! I mean Christopher Lee was in this?? The legend of all bad guys, who'd been in Star Wars and Lord of the Rings?? As I said - black listed movie, The Stupids!
