Napolean Dynamite

Strange. So very, very strange.

Napolean Dyamite is funny in a different way. It's the type of funny that comes from deep inside--ii's almost like a dry slapstick-- the movie is understated humor-which is harder to pull off that exaggeration.

I would have to agree with ya. I thought this movie lacked entertaining value. I thought it was so bad, I actually turned it off an hour into it.

It is your fault for having high standards then goign to see a move with absouatly no plot and a waste of tim eand money

It's not his "fault" at all. The film received mostly favorable reviews and had strong word-of-mouth.

That is because it was a good movie. Funnier than stale bread it is...

I still think it's just hilarious, so there. I didn't discover the whole last post-credits scene at the end till about the third viewing, so that was a fun discovery.

I found myself laughing most at some of the less obvious stuff. Subtle works well for me: the weird semi-'80s hairstyles on the girls, Uncle checking his biceps in the fast-food joint. Little touches like that just have me howling every time I watch that movie.

It might be a case of tastes, though. I know a few people who otherwise have great senses of humor (admirably so) who disliked or even hated movies like "Raising Arizona." That totally floors me, but I guess it's possible. I try not to hold it against them.

Well, at least proper English usage and sentence structure are alive and well!

Bingo. It's a film about absurdity in real life. It's a very close look at a person most of us would blow past every day and never notice. And it holds up normalcy as something attractive, which is pretty rare at the movies. I thought it was very funny, but then I'm prone to appreciating absurdity. It's unavoidable, so you might as well enjoy it, right?

Review: Cabin in the Woods 8/10

Well, the first time I watched it I thought it was lame. My husband loved it, however, and made me watch it again, and I found it much funnier the second time. Yes, it's stupid, Napoleon is not an entirely sympathetic character and the kookiness is kind of self-conscious. But it is funny.

I was just going to ask the same thing about good punctuation.

I really thought this movie was awful. I don't see why people love it so much. I really hope that new movie they are coming out with flops.

Hoping a movie flops?
Aren't you just a little ray of sunshine.

Haha, sorry I just really thought that Napolean Dynamite was awful and I don't think i can stand another movie like it to become popular and hear everyone reciting the terrible lines from the movie

Why? Wouldnt it be better if more movies were good and you could try to make more money on a lame spam site?

Wouldn't it be better if you just stopped following me around???

If you're talking about The Benchwarmers, it was alright.

I was actually talking about Nacho Libre with Jack Black.

Oh, because when mentioning ND and then "the other movie", it made me think of the movie also starring Jarod Hess
