Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “Meet Private Joe Bowers (Luke Wilson), the definition of ‘average American.’ He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. But when a top-secret government hibernation experiment goes awry, Bowers awakens in the year 2505 to find a society so dumbed-down by mass commercialism and mindless TV programming that he's become the smartest guy on the planet. He becomes a close advisor to the president of the United States President Comacho (Terry Alan Crews). Now it's up to an average Joe to get human evolution back on track.”

I really liked the play on Evolution in the film. Evolution is generally stated to be increasing in complexity, against the norm of the laws of thermodynamics. YET, in this movie, it is really shown that “survival of the fittest” is often not “survival of the smartest”, but rather the “C” student or trailer park resident has far more children than that liberal “A” student, who thinks he has all the answers. In the end, the smart die off and only the trailer park or inner city folk remain. See all »
