Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Don't listen to the negative reviews

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I cannot believe that the film is getting lots of positive reviews on this site!!!! This film should'be been aborted!!!! This film is such an abomination!!!!! Literally the worst film! The acting itself was a complete disaster!! This film is not funny at all!!!! I feel as if 1/10 is a bit too much for this film. I do not understand how people could stomach through this garbage. I'd rather sit through traffic than to have to watch that horrible film again. At least then I wouldn't have to listen to Tom Arnold's career plummet through the toilet. The Stupids was a major box office failure, grossing just $2,491,989 from an estimated $25 million budget.

I absolutely find this movie to be very entertaining, funny, and full of great lines! Due to the mixed reviews and somewhat low ratings, I'd definitely consider this film to be a cult classic. Winning the Razzie Award for Worst Actor must have been a dream come true for Tom Arnold and he's sure at his best in this very movie! Possibly the best part in this movie is the song "I'm My Own Grandpaw", sung by Tom Arnold! The song is very nostalgic and funny! I don't care if this film wasn't well-received or if it grossed a reasonably small amount of money. I still love this movie, and for all those who are giving this film negative reviews, return your negative reviews to Sender! This film is one of the cult best!

Let's get something straight right off the bat. I'm a MSTie, which those of you in the know means I'm an avid fan of the cult hit Mystery Science Theater 3000. This show revolved around a guy and his 2 robots who were stuck in outer space and forced to watch THE worst movies of all time, and make fun of them. What does this have to do with The Stupids? Well, I love MST3K and bad movies, but even I wasn't prepared for HOW HORRIBLE this movie was. Ah, ahhh! I jus-AHH! I didn't even see the entire thing, but I started watching around the halfway point cuz it was on TV and I was curious. Curiosity killed the cat. It killed the cat and hit it repeatedly with a stick, and urinated on it, and yet the cat didn't suffer half of what it would have if it had decided to just watch some of The Stupids.The movie fails to be funny in every single way. The parts that were made to be funny arn't. The parts that arn't supposed to be funny are disappointing and lame. Then they try to make up for the lameness with more unfunny made to be funny lameness and disapointingness. Everything is predictable and downright, ugh, HORRIBLE. Tom Arnold, as if his life weren't bad enough, chose to be in this stinkburger of a movie. Oh god I feel dirty just writing about it. Who are these child actors and are they out of the business for good now? Nothing is worse than a horrible movie with a decent budget.I have a great sense of humor, but my word, what an absolutely terrible waste of film and waste of time. I warn every one of you, don't. Just don't. This is more painful than a million "Manos" Hands of Fates. 0 out of 10 -andreW

I saw this thing traveling in a bus... no expectations in any way, but.. the first scene... "dear they have stolen AGAIN our garbage !!!!" makes me mad and kept watching. Very very funny with clever and raw sketches...The one of the time machine is genius... and the heaven one...LOL and ROFL.I know the film is not a masterpiece of the history, but, I found some ideas really funny in its script. I think its more raw and silly than Dumb & Dumber or Top Scret, of course, but there is a glimpse of John Landis there and contains some really good points.
