5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it's funny! No, I'm not on drugs! May 10 2003
By JOHN NATHAN
Format:VHS Tape
I was drawn to this movie, because I read 'The Stupids' childrens books as a child. This movie really only appeals to a certain group of people. People who can sit down, open their minds and laugh at completely ridiculous stuff, which is exactly what this movie is. There is no concrete plot that can be summarized in one or two sentences. It's a series of events that manage to link together in the stupidest ways possible. If you liked 'Kung Pow' or 'Mars Attacks' I think you'll like 'The Stupids'.

1.0 out of 5 stars Is "Stupid" catching? Mar 1 2003
By Brian Hulett
Format:VHS Tape
Believe it or not, I have actually enjoyed Tom Arnold's uniquely ping-pong-like career. He goes from "True Lies" to Fox Sports' talky sports TV show to late night guest appearances and manages to be entertaining at every turn in spite of his lack of talent (OK, marginal talent).

But that's in supporting roles, or just being his bizarre self. He is not made to carry a movie, and in "The Stupids" he is asked to do just that. It's like taking a humorous "Budweiser: True" commercial and stretching that moment of humor into a 90-or-so-minute film. Just doesn't work.

The Stupids are a family, and they're not just stupid, they are CHEERFULLY stupid. Delighted to be stupid. Deservedly stupid. Willfully, gloriously, hopelessly stupid. Clueless? These people can't even spell the word, and they'd be sure it means someone who doesn't own the "Clue" board game.

The movie is even more stupid. I guess that's why there is such a wide divergence of opinion here. If you enjoyed "Dumb & Dumber," you might like "The Stupids." If not (and obviously I hated it), then you won't want to waste your time with a family of grinning morons who dress and act like old-time vaudevillians and '50s TV families but don't seem to know the difference between up and down. Judgement call; the ball is in your court.

3.0 out of 5 stars some good bits, but misses the point
I really like the Stupids picture books, and though this movie sometimes matches their gleeful silliness it fails when it confuses absurd with stupid. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Named for the adults who watch it
The only redeemable quality of this movie is "I'm My Own Grandpa". My 7-year-old daughter liked it though...I guess that tells you something.

1.0 out of 5 stars What happened to the DVD specs?
So is it WIDESCREEN or not, already?

That is the #1 single most important question when buying a modern DVD. Wake up, Amazon!

What a bold, mad act of genius it was, to make ''The Stupids,'' or even think that it could be made. Read more

This movie was SO STUPID! I saw it when I was like 6 or 7 and we left the theater about 35 minutes into the movie! The only reason I saw it was because the trailers looked funny. Read more
