Rating: Summary: Not funny, just STUPID Review: Although I do like some movies that are so stupid that the're funny, this was not one of them. As a favor to my best friend, I watched The Stupids ALL THE WAY THROUGH. It was a real test of friendship. I couldn't get into the dopey plot, and kept trying to escape. I don't understand how someone could think it was a great movie. For most of the time, I was dumbfounded at the gross exaggerations of the truly incompetant characters. The scene where they mistake Lyod for The Lord had potential, but it wasn't presented in an amusing enough way for me. I reccomend banging your head into a wall if you get the urge to watch this movie. If I were Tom Arnold, I would omit this from my resume.
Rating: Summary: Is "Stupid" catching? Review: 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.

Rating: Summary: The worst film ever!! Review: Forget "Plan 9 From Outer Space",this is the most retched,pathetic attempt at a comedy I have EVER seen.One reviewer walked out of the cinema after 20 mins,I kid you not,I turned this pile of,well I won't use profanity on the net,rubbish off after 5,honestly,5 mins!
Rating: Summary: My Favorite Movie Ever! Review: I absolutely love this movie! It is hysterical! Most movie reviewers are saying it's pathetic, but I think that's because you have to be a kid (or be able to think like a kid) to find it good. My two sisters and I have seen it twice, once when we were 8, 10, and 12, and again when we were 9, 11, and 13. We also showed it to a 9-year-old, three 11-year-olds, and two 12-year-olds, all of whom loved it. We have been quoting it for the last year. Between thinking he is a bush with arms and legs, to being determined that Sender (as in "Return to Sender" on returned mail) is plotting to take over the world, Stanely Stupid and his family will keep you laughing. It's a great film!
Rating: Summary: Great for a break from reality Review: I admit, the first time I saw this movie it was about the stupidest thing I ever saw. But it was so stupid in a harmless way that it stuck with me, and the second and third time I saw it I actually found it funny in a childish way. Good for kids.
Rating: Summary: This movie is so boring! Review: I am so glad that I didn't go waste my money on this movie when it came out in theaters and I am also glad that I didn't rent or buy this movie. The Stupids is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. When I first watched this movie on TV I was about to fall asleep this movie was a waste of time. I can't beleive why some of ya'll would give it 5 stars, I would give it 0. The movie is cheesy, the acting is bad, and the whole movie is absolutely stupid as the title says. If you hadn't seen this movie don't even plan on renting it or buying it. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE YOU WILL NOT LIKE IT!
Rating: Summary: So bad its funny. Review: I know what your saying why give this movie any stars at all but as my review says its so bad its funny.This is a great movie for film buffs to see all the directors who made cameos,the humor is very random and not very slapstick thats what makes it so funny.
Rating: Summary: I am my own Grampa Review: I rented this movie because I needed a laugh, not because of the humor but sometimes I laugh at movies because they are so unrealistic and this movie shows just that. Till this day I love this movie and remember all the punch lines, sure its not the best acting but you gotta admitt I laughed the whole time. The plot is just so zainy I still don't understand it.
Rating: Summary: The name explains it all Review: I sat through the stupid movie for about a half an hour then i got up and kicked myself, took the movie out of the VCR and rushed it back to the video store. I wasted a half an hour on the stupidest movie on earth when i could have been somewhere more interesting, like a sewage disposal plant. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T RENT OR BUY THIS MOVIE FOR ANY REASON WHAT SO EVER. IT IS GARBAGE.
