Napoleon Dynamite what do you think? - Page 2

Not a big fan of this movie. Didn't find it all that funny. I think as far as nerds in recent movies Elias from Clerks 2 is a much better representation.

I liked it myself, though I think the funniest part wasn't even IN the movie itself. I'm talking about the deleted scene in which Napoleon and Pedro try to buy a suit at Goodwill but have no money. And then they try to buy lottery tickets. That was funnier than anything else in the film.

Y'know... I had a chance to see this BEFORE everyone else did for free at a premiere... but somehow I didn't get the tickets and missed out. Funny thing... I expected Napoleon Dynamite to be African American... only cuz the name of the film sounds like a Blaxploitation film.

Anyway, as much as I enjoy that and the Office, I am sick to death opf all those stupid commercials that try so desperately to knock the dang film off in its humor. Those Skittle ones especially.

It so silly it cracks me up. Many people claim it has no plot but I thought the plot was Napoleon trying to help Pedro get elected to Student Body president.

I thought it was a great movie

I didnt think it would be all too funny when I first watched it but I was suprised, "Tina you fat lard"

I think its destined to become a cult classic of sorts.

I think this is right on. I thought it was hilarious is probably just a cult film of sorts. either you thought it was knee slapping funny or you were sitting there scratching your head. But I see a few people here are alittle more in the middle.
"Knock it off Napolean! Make yourself a dang quesadil-luh!" sorry

I can attest that this is kind of a cultural thing. Especially if you live in Southern Idaho/Utah.

The first time I saw it, I was going 'huh?' with it, but it grew on me and now I love the movie. In fact, it get's funnier with repeat viewings (not very many movies are like that).

Fortunately for me, I was out of the country when it was really getting hyped up, so I didn't have it crammed down my throat every where I went. So I still liked it when I made it back to the states.

Worst movie I've ever seen. At least "Manos", the Hands of Fate, was unintentionally funny (especially the MST3K version). NP wasn't funny. At all.
