I watched it today

It was interesting, provided a scary, plausible future
What a creepy idea, when humans are too stupid to water their plants with water...

Good movie though

They could have made the people more stupid

At least the people were consistently stupid
Some movies and books that present the idea, the characters get smarter over the course of it

I don't know why... but the funniest part of the movie for me was when he was breaking out of jail and the alarm kept saying "Excape... Excape..."

What are you kidding me? This movie was HORRIBLE, I can't believe Luke Wilson agreed to do it. The premise wasn't THAT bad, but very poorly executed IMO.

That said, it was a good laugh. But looking back on it, I was sick and feeling like crap and probably would not get the same reaction from me if I were to watch it again.

Pretty good premise though.

Luke Wilson is a horrible actor. He probably takes any acting job they are willing to pay him for.

Maybe they were also trying to portray a future where actors are too stupid to know how to act well?

Yeah, I couldn't stop laughing when they showed "Butt F***rs" restaraunt logo and then showing children eating burgers in there.

It was a decent flick. Premise is very good though, i wouldn't mind a more serious book or movie based on it (or a comedy that isn't as over-the-top as that was).
