The Stupids
As American as apple pie and twice as smart.
Directed by John Landis
Produced by New Line Cinema, Savoy Pictures
A lighthearted family comedy built on absurdist humor and slapstick, where lovable dimwits bumble through a conspiracy plot without understanding what's happening.
An incredibly dull-witted family unknowingly stumble upon an illegal weapons deal while on the trail of their "stolen" garbage.
