Funny but frightening

When I saw the film the audience was laughing quite a bit.

In other parts there was a scary silence. As the film point out, stupidity is really funny but it's also running our world. Film travels from some of the more intellectual angles to some of the more trivial. We really enjoyed it all though we came and argued about the issue.

I never knew where idiot and moron came from. Not sure that I'm better off knowing. All in all and enjoyable take on a never-before broached topic.

Now, with Bush re-elected, Stupidity is more relevant than ever.

Too relevant.
