4.0 out of 5 stars THE STUPIDS, March 27, 2005
By MOONCHILD "DeKe" (Planet Claire) - See all my reviews
This movie is for those who are under 13 or those with a really weird sense of humor, like me. I actually saw this in a movie theater with Cari Kepner and sad to say we were the only ones there. America missed the boat with this film but I bet it's popular in Belgium. Anyhow, I'm not a big fan of Tom Arnold but he is PERFECT in the role of Stanley Stupid! If you don't take life seriously and are able to find humor in everything, even funerals I suggest watching this film. It's great fun for the whole family! Dynamite cameo appearances by Captain Kangaroo and Jenny McCarthy. "In the name of the Lloyd" BUY this movie!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Thank the Lloyd for this movie!, March 19, 2000
By "ex-batman" (Chantilly, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stupids [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Yes, this is an incredibly stupid movie. Yes, the acting is not so great. Yes, this might have been a waste of everyone's time...well, probably not Tom Arnold's. But you have to see this movie. This is the most zany and random movie I've ever seen. I think the best part is when Tom Arnold is disguised as a bush, and goes off about how he is part man, part bush, master of both worlds..."Bush-man, you are supreme!" Either that or the drive bee...you have to see it, I don't think I can explain it adequately. Or perhaps even the Stupids meeting with the Lloyd, a janitor they mistakenly believe is the Lord, God, and hence the title of this review. A couple friends and I rented this one night when we must have been partially insane, and it has provided moments of hilarity when we bring it up ever since. Just give it a chance...depending on your sense of humor, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars ROFLMBO, November 30, 2003
By A Customer
This is the funniest movie I've seen in a long-time. I feel sorry for people who can't see the movie for what it is - good clean fun. Yes the people do stupid things - but laughter is s good for you. I watched it with my niece and nephew and they remember all the details and a lot of the dialogue. We often sing "I'm My Own Grandpa" just because. If they act sad, we start discussing this movie and end up laughing till we cry. Give it a chance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate movie title
The Stupids are a family of stupid people in stupid situations with stupid results. Reminiscent, but not as dark as, Serial Mom.

3.0 out of 5 stars The movie is a little funny, but out of tune with the general taste of the public.
Excellent video quality and good price, but the movie is a little out of tune with the taste of the times. It's for children with an unorthodox sense of humor.

1.0 out of 5 stars I liked this movie as much as I liked that time I got a fish hook caught deep in my thumb.
After watching this movie, I knew a momentous occasion had befallen me.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. Read more
