Napoleon Dynamite

Daz

Finally saw this movie! I haven't laughed so 'flippin' much in ages. Honestly what a thoroughly refreshing film. I bought the DVD and watched it twice within a very short space of time. I dont think Ive done that with a movie since I was a kid.
Anyone hate it? It feels like one of those 'love it or hate it ' things!

I found the humor to be weak, and the movie generally boring... of course, my friends had decided to watch Shaun of the Dead before they wanted to show me ND, so it had a lot to hold up against... and it failed in my opinion.

I loved it, I guess you have to have a sort of appreciation for weird, well-developed characters to enjoy it...because the film is devoid of any real plot.

Too many people saying "flippin" or any other quote from the movie at school though. Gah its annoying lol.

flaagan doesn't know funny.

You know, there's like a butt-load of gangs at this school. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bowstaff.

You got like three feet of air that time.
-damn, I loved it. One of the only movies I liked in '04.

I also just recently watched after seeing reviews here. Failed to make an impression. I believe Election to be the best MTV Films movie I have seen.

Though this was more fun to watch than Orange County. God, that movie was weak.

Neo_God

Yeah, the movie was great. Has some of the best quotables since Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Napoleon Dynamite kicks ass. A fun movie that you can just kick back, laugh at and enjoy.

Yea i definitely loved it, the setting can be depressing sometimes just becasue life seems so boring for all of the characters, but that makes it even more funny to me.

Dukester

I want to go back to 1982 too haha! that was a fun movie!

Hollowmind

I loved it. Laughed my ass off. That dance sequence was awesome.

Kevin Johnstone

I've been debating buying it for a while. I liked that it had a Wes Anderson sort of vibe but considered it a gamble.

Course, I lost nothing taking the plunge with Bad Santa and Dodgeball so ...

Napoleon is awesome.

I loved it, funnies movie I've seen in ages. Most people I know who saw it liked it too, except one person at work who walked out on it because he thought it was so stupid. Definitely a love it or hate it movie.

-i bet i could throw a football over those mountains.
-in 82 i could throw a football a quarter mile.

-so theres like a buttload of gangs at this school. One gang wanted me to join cause of my bo staff skills.

-You should come grab all the stuff out of my locker cause i have no room for my "numchucks".

I know they're not exact quotes....but damn those lines are great. That coupled with anything being thrown (steak, orange, button...) made me crap my pants....not quite as funny as the vomit scene in TA:WP. That scene ruptured my entire digestive system.

swampbug

I bought the DVD as well.. its the kind of movie I'll never get tired of.


Tina, you fat lard, come get some DINNER!... Tina, eat. Food. Eat the FOOD!

Uncle Rico: Napoleon, it's looks like you don't have a job. So why don't you get out there and feed Tina.
Napoleon Dynamite: Why don't you go eat a decroded piece of crap!

How many of you would be willing to admit to BEING Napoleon Dynamite. The movie struck chords with me because he reminded me of myself as a kid. Totally into goofy stuff and not caring about what others thought.

oXYnary

You know, thought of something.

Could Ghost World be the female geeks H.S. story, while Napoleon Dynamite be the males?
