Its a great movie and even better story.Seriously.
The movie is kinda cheesy with some parts and i know they took some dramatic license.
But the Eugene Levy scene as the President of the United States and his foreign policy is gold.

They are planning a new version of the actual KV story title 2081, watch the trailer, it looks more apropos, more clockwork, more disturbing.

Here is a short clip.



CLIP - Herrison Bergeron



http://www.veoh.com/videos/v17374704FWXhb6bk

THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.
