The Stupids

About This Movie

The Stupids is a quirky comedy that showcases John Landis’ knack for absurdity. The film revolves around the clueless Stupid family, who, in their search for their 'stolen' trash, unwittingly get tangled in a criminal plot. The pacing is a bit uneven, swinging from slapstick humor to quiet moments of sheer bewilderment. The performances are intentionally over-the-top, with the actors fully embracing their roles as ridiculous caricatures. It's that blend of naive charm and chaotic situations that gives the film its unique flavor. Practical effects, especially during the ridiculous mishaps, add a certain nostalgic touch. It’s a film that doesn’t take itself too seriously but captures a particular silly vibe that some collectors appreciate for its sheer oddity.
