Well, maybe not, but it's still f'in hilarious. I've seen it about 7 times now.

Best movie. Ever.

"So Napoleon, what are you going to do today?" "Whatever I feel like, gosh!"

"Your mom goes to college!"

"Tina, you fat lard, come get some dinner."

"Tina, come get some ham."

i saw it twice in one week and loved it, i can't wait to buy it on dvd. i love it when they take pedro's bike off that jump, "have you taken it off any sweet jumps yet?" haha..or when napoleon's uncle throws a steak at napoleon and hits him in the head.

This film is a refreshing look at a typical geek in a forgotten part of the country. Jared Hess is to be commended by bringing this dead pan comedy to the screen.

Of course, the director is helped by the cast he assembled for the film. The screening I attended had more laughs than I was expecting because it's obvious this is not a comedy for the masses. The director is spoofing the genre in his own way.

Napoleon, deep down inside is a great kid. He is not malicious and he has to suffer because this culture will reward a stupid person that appears to be cool and will put down a person such as Napoleon because they perceive him as a nerd prototype. Napoleon belongs to a dysfunctional family, if ever there was one.

His brother Kid is playing against type also. He appears to be a feminine boy who is into the chat rooms and has fallen in love with a mystery woman from Detroit. The uncle that comes to supervise them while their grandma is in the hospital is a grease ball and a con man rolled into one. The ending is just hysterical as Uncle Rico can't see the woman he is selling his bogus merchandise is a trans gender person with a very strong husband.

All the actors are excellent in their roles. One's heart goes to Jon Heder, the Napoleon of the story, for making his character so sweet and likable. Jon Gries, as Uncle Rico, is effective. Napoleon's brother played by Aaaron Ruell goes through such transformation, but deep inside he is just a pretender. Efren Ramirez, as Pedro seems to be in a fog throughout the film. What a joke to have him as class president! Finally, Shondrella Avery as LaFawnduh, gives an incredible performance and Tina Marjorino is perfect as Deb.

A film to be discovered for its humor.

After all of the great comments about Napoleon Dynamite, I finally rented it last night. I must say, I thought it was terrible. Just terrible, I don't know how else to explain it.

Best pick up line ever: "Are you drinking 1% milk because you think you're fat?"

If a guy ever asked me that I would simply melt.

You have good sense. Just keep it off, don't waste your time.

If you just read this post, saw a few of the quotes, saved yourself a rental fee, and around 2 hours you would be better off.

I found myself laughing at the fact my friends thought it was funny......then i actually left the room where my girlfriend was watching it because i couldnt stand it. it just, simply put, is not funny. i understand it, i get it. i get how it is 'supposed' to be funny. but something went wrong....somethings missing.

unfortanetly i didnt laugh once at the actual movie.

I must admitt that listening to people quote the movie is 10X better than actually watching it. I'm glad I watched it just so I understand what everyone is now saying.

Can someone at least bring me my chapstick ?

My lips hurt real bad.


Anyway, I think it is funnier to talk about than to actually watch.
