Title: That's Why It Wasn't Distributed!
Product review: While I'm only a so-so fan of BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD and KING OF THE HILL, Mike Judge's movie OFFICE SPACE ranks as one of the most pleasant movie surprises of the last decade. It was a movie I knew nothing about, but on a whim I rented it several years ago and found it to be terrific. I bought a copy to own shortly after seeing it the first time.Hoping to recapture that terrific experience, I bought IDIOCRACY, knowing absolutely nothing about it -- other than it was like OFFICE SPACE, in that it didn't seem to get wide theatrical release (if any).Having now seen it, I can understand why it didn't get national distribution. It may have been a clever idea on the drawing board, and it does have it's share of satiric zingers, but overall it's just plain silly. Too silly to really enjoy.
