Plot: This film is based on The Stupids series of children's books by Harry Allard and James Marshall, which are about a family that takes things very, very literally. In this film, the Stupids attempt to discover what happens to the garbage that disappears from their lawn every week (they think it has been stolen) and accidentally save the world. The father, Stanley (Tom Arnold), goes undercover posing as a tree and unknowingly stumbles into an international arms-smuggling scheme. He believes that the garbage theft is perpetrated by his old enemy from the Post Office, Sender (Christopher Lee). His absence worries his equally befuddled children, who go looking for him. Meanwhile he is chased by both the weapons smugglers and beings from outer space. Directed by John Landis, known for his hit films Trading Places and The Blues Brothers. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

The Stupids are a family of stupid people in stupid situations with stupid results. Reminiscent, but not as dark as, Serial Mom.

When I was a kid, I thought this movie was hilarious! I still do. It's about a family who have no idea what is going on and lots of mix-ups. Stanley Stupid believes that someone is stealing their garbage and he is going to find out who. Their kids think mom and dad have been kidnapped. They end up stopping a big International gun deal. This and sooo much more happens. I highly recommend THE STUPIDS!!!

This movie is hilarious... if you like dumb stuff done by dumb people. Transplanted well from print to the screen. My daughter loved the books and I enjoyed them too. Good for many a laugh.

This movie was hilarious. I watched it with friends, and couldn't stop laughing, it was so stupid. Stupid so that it was funny though. Buy this movie used for a laugh, maybe not brand new unless you get a deal. You will definitely laugh by the end of the movie. I loved it, and bought it after watching it. Watch it! :)

I know the movie is bad, but that doesn't it can't stop trying to entertain people. I love the movie because Tom Arnold is just trying to be his best. He's just learning to be a good actor. That's what I forgive him for his bad acting.
