All right, I'll admit that my hate-on for the movie was made much larger by the media reception, but it was really nothing special, just a recycled Marching Morons plus dick jokes. There were some mildly amusing moments, but after a while, laughing at people laughing at other people getting kicked in the balls becomes the same thing it's allegedly spoofing. The movie would be forgotten bargain bin fodder if it weren't for the fact that it was treated as "serious" social commentary and gave dysgenics a veneer of social respectability. Just swap out "brown people" for "rednecks and trailer trash" in the general dysgenic formula of "Oh noez, demographic group x is pumping out babies faster than us! We're all doomed!"
