Watched this trainwreck with Whitney last night. Full disclosure: I LOVE Maya Rudolph.
Love her. Don’t know why.
Anyway, the movie’s basically Mike Judge running amok for 90 minutes with Matte paintings, bad SNL actors (sorry, redundant. Should say: “SNL Actors”). The premise is pretty good, actually–that smart people will be squeezed out of existence by dumb people who have LOTS of kids. Think the dumb kids in high school that get all the attention and resources, spread over a planetary scale.
…And then it falls apart. GREAT opening, pointless everything else. Much like watching “Beavis & Butthead” or “King of the Hill”, there were lots of quotable quotes, but nothing to hold it together.
It’s great to have Netflix. You can watch a turd like this, and realize you didn’t pay 5 bucks for it.
