Waking up five hundred years later to a dystopian hellscape presented as a logical conclusion of American consumerism and tendencies towards the path of least resistance, Joe learns that he is now the smartest man alive, charged with helping the President solve an ongoing drought if he wants to avoid being seen as a fugitive by his idiotic brethren.<p> <table border=1 class="sortable bordered" id="sort_actors"> <tr><th><b>Name</b></th><th><b>Occupation</b></th><th><b>Birth</b></th><th>Death</b></th><th><b>Known for</b></th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/902/000087641/"><font size=-1>Thomas Haden Church</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>17-Jun-1960</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>Lowell Mather on <i>Wings</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/511/000109184/"><font size=-1>Terry Crews</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>30-Jul-1968</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Everybody Hates Chris</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/864/000131471/"><font size=-1>David Herman</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>20-Feb-1967</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>MADtv</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/200/000051047/"><font size=-1>Justin Long</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>2-Jun-1978</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/394/000108070/"><font size=-1>Maya Rudolph</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>27-Jul-1972</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Saturday Night Live</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/412/000132016/"><font size=-1>Dax Shepard</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>2-Jan-1975</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>Crosby Braverman on <i>Parenthood</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/289/000109959/"><font size=-1>Andrew Wilson</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>22-Aug-1964</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>Actor brother of Luke and Owen</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/886/000044754/"><font size=-1>Luke Wilson</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>21-Sep-1971</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>Owen Wilson's handsome brother</td> </tr> </table> <p><font size=+1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=red><b>REVIEWS</b></font><p><b>Review by Alex Thillet</b> (posted on 8-Apr-2008)<p>This movie just goes to show how dumb our society is getting, hence the name. It is about Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph being sent into the future to a world ruled by dumb people. Its full of crazy humor, but other than just laugh it might also make you think: Are we really headed in that direction? In the future we do not water plants with water...we water them with Brawndo! the energy drink thats got what plant's crave, electrolytes! <p> <hr width=15% align=left><p><table><tr><td><img src="/rarrow.gif"></td><td>Have you seen this film?
