Rest assured the reason you didn't enjoy was not a result of stupidity. I think it has more to do with whether or not you like philosophy. And by "like philosophy" I don't mean just paying lip service to philosophy. I mean actually reading philosophical works on occassion and getting involved in philosophical debates with your like-minded friends. Ignorance and stupidity are two different things.
I was a philosophy major in college, but my interest in it has decreased substantially over the intervening years, so I probably didn't enjoy it as much as some people out there (read: probably didn't catch all the references to philosophical works). I did, however, find the movie mildly amusing and entertaining.
