If the title of this documentary doesn't get you into the theater, nothing else will -- but here goes: Albert Nerenberg, founder of the movie-trailer-spoof Web site Trailervision, presents an achingly funny look
not at garden-variety double-digit IQ, but at the endemic phenomenon in our society of willful intent to be stupid, or, as the filmmaker puts it, to
"resist intelligence." But don't be fooled (or stupid); this film is a thoughtful, often academic investigation into what may be a characteristic unique to our species. Be
warned, however: Tears of laughter may give way to lachrymal frustration at the ubiquity of stupidity in media, organized religion, politics -- heck, throughout our culture. Might you conclude, after viewing "Stupidity," that
Nerenberg has a problem with the dumbing down of America? Duh.
-- Mark
Nichol, San Francisco Chronicle
"THIS IS OUTSTANDING. REALLY, REALLY GOOD."
The Edge
"A NEW FILM CALLED STUPIDITY IS GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION. YOU'RE...SMART IF YOU SEE IT."
FOX NEWS, THE BIG STORY
Stupidity, is an action-packed, outrageous feature documentary on the urgent issue of human stupidity.
While mountains of books, studies and documentaries are devoted to the study and pursuit of intelligence, shockingly little has been dedicated to something far more influential - stupidity.That, itself, may be stupid.
Stupid acts, stupid accidents, and the work of imbeciles and madmen have directed the course of human history. Stupidity plays a major role in war, famine, mass murder, man made disaster, and the environmental destruction of the planet.
Ironically, stupidity is profoundly undocumented and un-researched. There are shockingly few scientific studies.When it comes to stupidity, this documentary will point out, we are huge ignoramuses.
