I didn't enjoy this film that much, but still the concept of a future where all intelligence has been bred out of the human race is a great social commentary on the current anti-intellectual atmosphere in the United States, where we have a President who people vote for precisely because he DOESN'T appear to be too bright.
Not to mention the comment on our ultra consumerist society, where mega-corporations engage in a furious race to the bottom, trying their hardest to satisfy our basest desires when it comes to sex, violence, and fatty foods.
Unfortunately, the execution of the great concept (tm) doesn't work so well. I caught myself laughing a few times through the movie, but mostly it's just amazement about how the world portrayed in the movie really isn't that far removed from our current reality.
