IDIOCRACY.

[skids]

I'm going to go see it. Heck I'd do so based just on the name alone.

Who else is going to be trying to find a theater playing it?

The film was originally titled "Uh-Merica" and later "3001" (although this title was always known to be a place holder title), and was shown to test audiences around March 2005. There were unofficial reports of very poor ratings from that viewing. Some re-filming purportedly took place in the summer of 2005. Release was even further stalled, possibly relating to a civil suit in which several companies (some companies depicted included Costco, Starbucks and Fuddruckers) were unhappy with the way they were satirized in the film.

In April 2006, a release date was finally set for September 1 2006. But less than a month before it was set for release, numerous articles <1> revealed that the film's release has been put on hold indefinitely. Although the release is going ahead as planned, it will only be a limited release (125 runs), as opposed to a wide one (2,500-3,000). There will be very little advertising, and the film will then proceed straight to video

Judge often steps on my toes (like, for example, satiring COSTCO instead of much more deserving targets... eh... no pun intended.) But on the whole I like his stuff, even the sickly sweet KoTH. Despite the rumored negative audience response, this could end up being a seminole work... I mean, I would fully expect negative reviews of a film that tackles the issue of multigenerational mental devolution, because as we know, the truth can be somewhat painful.
