That's when I thought of Mike Judge's movie from last year -- Idiocracy -- which didn't get much of a release but is now on DVD. Here's the basic gist of the flick:
Joe Bauers, an Army librarian, is judged to be absolutely average in every regard, has no relatives, has no future, so he's chosen to be one of the two test subjects in a top-secret hibernation program. He and hooker Rita were to awaken in one year, but things go wrong and they wake up instead in 2505. By this time, stupid people have outbred intelligent people; the world is (barely) run by morons--and Joe and Rita are the smartest people in America.I hear it's not completely successful, but that it does have its moments. The set-up for the first two minutes is priceless.
