Napoleon Dynamite what do you think?
MuchMusic showed Napoleon Dynamite this morning again. They showed it last night at 6pm then this morning at 9am and then again at 4pm today. I missed an half hour without realizing it was on but I did catch the Return to New York of TMNT this morning :D
This movie is actually pretty good. I like that dance he did. that song, Canned Heat, is on Elite Beat Agents! |
Jawanduh was HOT....
But seriously, great movie with a positive, fun message. It's like a classic teenage 80s movie that was released for the first time in the present day. |
Terrible, terrible movie. The first time I watched it (when it first came out), I got a few chuckles outta it. But after it bacame so popular and everybody started to quote it and talk about it, I realized how bad this movie really is.

Incredibly over rated but enjoyable. If you dont listen to the hype surrounding it, it's an Ok movie.

I found it more annoying than funny. I knew lots of kids like Napoleon in high school and absolutely couldn't stand them back then; I certainly don't want to watch a movie about one of em.
The only thing worse than the movie are the hordes of fans quoting lines in that stupid voice that makes them sound like they have Down's Syndrome. |

I Did laugh my @ss off at the Borat movie I'll give him that but I found myself saying out whens this gonna end where is this going. Oh well it wasn't as bad as naopleon but I still think it's a bit over rated. I enjoy the Ali G show allot more. |
I didn't really like the movie. Not my cup of tea, I felt it wore thin about half way through. It wasn't supposed to have a plot and I got that but I like movies with more substance, and this is why I usually don't enjoy comedy or horror movies. Their all about style or laughs and they leave important things out like a good plot. Every comedy has the all to easy punch out happy ending and horror movies always have the cliff hanger.
Outside of my professional opinion the kids at my high school made this movie annoying and stopped me from wanting to view it until a year after it was out. I was about to choke the next person I saw with a "Vote for Pedro" shirt, pin, backpack, jacket, wrist band, shoe....and people constantly referencing it turned it into the Dave Chapelle show all over again. |
I don't think it's really my thing. I mean, I can get behind things that are great but...Napoleon Dynamite doesn't seem like that to me. Besides, I got force fed so many refrences and comments from the movie that I just gave up all hope on it and tried to stay away from anything related to the movie with a ten foot pole *sighs*

Well, I'll say that the first time I saw this I hated it. It was sad.
After the second or so time, though... I saw the dark humor for what it was. I love this movie. I think it's funny. I love Kip. And I met Pedro. He's so nice and he's tiny, hehe. I love him. |
It's definitely a decent movie, but not great or even good. I don't really care that people quote it a lot and all that crap, I'm not on any kind of high horse, where I need to hate something just because a ton of people love it. My friend over-hyped it prior to my viewing of it, though. Needless to say, once I finally watched it, I had a hard time figuring out why so many people loved it.

I know I enjoyed it... first viewing was kind of a "what the heck?!" experience, but after that the nerd humor sunk in and I started to love it. People who live/have lived in Idaho (or even Utah) also seem to get it a little more, as it's a little bit cultural with some of the humor.
It's funny because it is so bad. I don't think it was ever trying to be good - just random and funny. For me, it worked. For others... ehh, perhaps not. You just have to have the right sense of humor. Heh, and Jon Heder (as well as his twin) both graduated from the animation major at my school. And somehow, Jon got his 15 minutes of fame in acting in a dumb movie. :P Go figure. |

I personally found Napoleon Dynamite to be unfunny and annoying.

But the second time around I had warmed to it and saw it's charming side. It's definitely not one of those crappy teen comedies you see all the time and it's not really fussed about having a tight structure/plot. It's good to be different. I guess it's very much a type of humour you either love or hate. It's smarter than other films but also quite dumb and simple in a way. It's definitely made by the performances themselves in the same way the loose structure of Anchorman is held together by the great cast. |
I saw it very early when it was still in theaters in limited release. Nobody I knew had seen it, and I never heard a review for it. I thought it was hilarious.
Everyone that saw it before it became popular thought it was funny. After it became popular and people started quoting it, everyone who saw it then didn't think it was funny. So I really think that people saw it looking to hate it, because people with no opinion on it thought it was funny, and people who heard the quotes from people that weren't funny, ended up hating it. |

I ended up really wanting to like it personally but the stupid trailor for it killed it for me every single funny part of the movie was shown. Had I not ever seen the trailor I'd prolly like it more but had I not seen it online I more than likely would have never even seen or heard of the movie till the major film release oh well can't win em all. |
Seeing the previews for this film already had me avoiding it. Hell, I thought the word, "Dynamite" was a reference to being lit since everyone seemed to be on drugs. Then, about a year later, on an off-day, I watched it just to see what made it so impressionable. I could not figure it out; it wasn't funny or entertaining at all -- with the exception of Napoleon dancing on stage.
The entire film felt like a high school student film that had to be handed in the next day and got a D- for the effort. |
