If you thought Mike Judge nailed corporate politics perfectly in Office Space wait 'till you see what he thinks is in store for the human race. Luke Wilson, who is part of an military experiment, wakes up 500 years in the future only to discover that he's the smartest man on the planet. Not because he's all that bright, but because America has become hazardously stupid. There are some amazing laughs, like a new family eating franchise called "ButtFuckers" and a professional wrestler as the president of the U.S. The extras are a huge letdown, with only a few deleted scenes and nothing at all from Judge, most likely because Fox never gave this movie a legit theatrical release. It's no Office Space because it's way too high concept, but it'll definitely find a home on DVD and cable even though it's sometimes painful to watch. Probably because it all seems way too possible.
