This came and went quickly where I live, with a good review in the LA Times. I was looking forward to catching it on DVD.While there are moments of good satire and a few laughs, it's not really much. Only about 80 minutes. The leads are pretty dull. The plot, such as it is, isn't much either. Every once in a while, a joke hit the mark for me, but more of them misfired.
This could have used a substantial rewrite. The basic idea was good and much of the look of the dumbed down future was well done. But it didn't work very well for me.
