The Stupids is a comedy film released in 1996, directed by John Landis and starring Tom Arnold as the protagonist, Stanley Stupid. The film is based on the popular children's book series written by Harry Allard and illustrated by James Marshall.
The film follows the misadventures of the Stupid family, consisting of Stanley, his wife Joan, and their kids, Buster and Petunia. The Stupids are an incredibly dull-witted family who routinely misinterpret everyday events and situations.
One day, the Stupids discover that their garbage has gone missing. Convinced that their garbage has been stolen, they decide to investigate. In their pursuit, they unwittingly stumble upon an illegal weapons deal being orchestrated by a group of criminals, and their bumbling investigations threaten to foil the entire operation.
The Stupids is known for its over-the-top humor and slapstick comedy, and it received mixed reviews upon its release. While some praised the film's absurd humor, others found it overly silly and tiresome. Despite this, The Stupids has since gained a cult following and is considered a cult classic among fans of absurd comedy.
