The Stupids

1996 · 94 min

A goofy, gag-a-minute farce where everyone plays the silliness dead straight, best enjoyed as undemanding family slapstick.

Tagline: As American as apple pie and twice as smart.
Overview: An incredibly dull-witted family unknowingly stumble upon an illegal weapons deal while on the trail of their "stolen" garbage.
How it feels: Absurd, light, whimsical and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Family, conspiracy, deception, loyalty
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
