Did you like Napoleon Dynamite?

[HeyManThatsCool]

I just saw it for the 1st time yesterday- I thought it was hilarious.
(even though it didn't have a plot)

"I noticed your drinking 1%. Is that because you think your fat?"

[bryant69]

1. I liked it

I have family up in that area though--the movie is enormously popular among Mormons, but I also think parts of it are enormously funny. And the actor who plays Napoleon Dynamite is very intense.

2. I hated it. It was boring. The point of the story was okay but BORING

[Jesus H. Christ]

7. I'm sorry there weren't any car chases

or big noisy explosions.

[HeyManThatsCool]

Arguably the best movie of the year.

[StopTheMorans]

8. The word of the Lord.

(I agree) :evilgrin:

[Jesus H. Christ]

9. Somebody critic said it was racist.

If anybody has any idea what the fuck he was talking about, please let me know.

[DawgHouse]

10. Loved it!

"Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter." BWAHAHAHA!

DH didn't get it.. he hated it.

[StopTheMorans]

11. Why don't you come down here and try to hit me?

:7

[HeyManThatsCool]

12. Kip & Uncle Rico

Were freakin hilarious...GOSH


Napoleon Dynamite: 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.



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

[HeyManThatsCool]

13. LOL

Since when, Kip? You have the worst reflexes of all time.

[democracy eh]

14. one of the funniest movies ever

but I chuckle to sleep remembering movies with dumb, but original characters

*****

uncle Rico

oh boy here comes the chuckles

Stupid overly PC critics, only "racist" if white trash jokes count as racism. the cousins

on man here I go, need to buy the DVD

[Bouncy Ball]

16. LOVED it.

In fact, I am buying it on DVD and the wallpaper on my computer is Napoleon and Pedro.

I've watched it about like four times now.

[HeyManThatsCool]

17. Bouncy

I found it so funny I watched it 2x last night & once today with 5 other friends who had already seen it like 6 times.


VOTE FOR PEDRO

[Bouncy Ball]

21. I know it makes me want to watch it with different people

who I know will love it, just to see them crack up.

When I watched it with my best friend, she nearly CHOKED when Kip said "Peace out" wearing his doo-rag and going out with LaFawnduh.

[mondo joe]

18. You're in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by tiny little seahorses

Best movie of 2004.

[Bouncy Ball]

19. ...

[StopTheMorans]

25. Thanks Bouncy!

that image is now my wallpaper :7

[Bouncy Ball]

28. You're welcome!

It's my wallpaper on my home AND office computer!!!

[sendero]

20. This movie...

.. will be a cult classic for a long time.

It's just a movie that is not for everyone. I loved it. And personally, I thought it did have a plot and a point.

[mondo joe]

22. People who say it has no plot are morans.

Seriously - I don't care if people like it or not, but to say it has no plot is a sign of stupidity.

[Bouncy Ball]

24. Yeah, really.

How can anyone say it didn't have a plot???

I mean Grandma and her mysterious date and breaking her coccyx? (LOL)

Uncle Rico and his attempts to return to 1982? (The time travel machine shit is CLASSIC--"Hold on, I forgot to put in the crystals.")

Napoleon and his quest for a date to the dance.

Deb and her trying to figure out Napoleon and Pedro and make money to go to college.

Kip and his quest for his babes online and then finally finding true love.

Pedro running for president!

Etc.

Lots of plot lines all intersecting beautifully.

[brentspeak]

23. There seems to be a big PR push for this film

Massive ad-campaign for "Napoleon Dynamite", trying to make it into "the" DVD of the moment. I see large, prominent displays for it at Best Buy, FYE, CD World. Web banner ads.

It looks like it's working -- it's top ten on Amazon.

[StopTheMorans]

26. well, there's also the fact that it IS a good movie

[Bouncy Ball]

27. But if it were crap they could push it all they wanted

and not many people would rent it. It is SO freaking good.

SWEET!

"Hey Napoleon, give me some of your TOTS!"

Extremely quoteable movie.

[mondo joe]

29. No sex, no nudity, no violence (other than Rex Known Do)

No sex, no nudity, no violence (other than Rex Known Do), and a really sweet ending make it a great family film.

My kids and I have now seen it about 7 times each.

[Bouncy Ball]

30. I liked the fact that my 10 year old could actually watch it with me.

Rex Kwon Do. I totally forgot about that.

"Do you think anyone's gonna give me a roundhouse kick wearing THESE BAD BOYS? FORGETABOUTIT!"

"Do you think anyone laughs because I go home to STARLA? FORGETABOUT IT!"

[sendero]

31. As for sure...

... I like all kinds of films but I'll tell ya, it is HARD to make a movie that adults can stand and kids like.

Belive me, I think I can count the ones that fit that for me on one hand, out of the last 10 years.

It did strike me that there is not only no sex/nudity/sexual situations, but there is no coarse language, no fart joke or poop joke.

And yet it is still funny! How did they do it!

[HeyManThatsCool]

32. Did you watch the deleted scenes?

There is one where they are playing kickball which is hilarious!

[mondo joe]

41. Holy Chips is the best deleted scene

Though the slap in the kickballl game is great

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

33. fuck, no

annoying movie, annoying characters-it was MTV Pictures vision of what an "indie" movie looks like. Every character tried to be weirder than the last. It was the most contrived psuedo-hip Harmony Korraine/richard linkletter (sp-i know) waanabe ever made.

the forced eccentrism was so grating

[last_texas_dem]

34. I thought it sucked, too

Not particularly funny in my opinion, and depressingly mean-spirited to boot. Also, as I complained in another thread, to me one of its main flaws is that it gives you no reason to care what happens to its characters. To steal someone else's complaint as well, it was like it was a number of unrelated skits that strung together ran a decent enough length to make into a movie. That isn't always a bad thing, but if the substance of the skits isn't worth much it doesn't make for a great movie.

(Just my take, though... views were asked for so I figured I'd give mine. I hope everyone likes what they find good, dislikes what they find bad, and doesn't let others' views interfere. That's what I try to do myself. I just happened to be expecting more from this movie and ended up disappointed.)

[WMliberal]

35. of COURSE I did. Frickin IDIOT. gosh

You could drink whole milk if you wanted to.

[Jack_Dawson]

36. Pedro Ruled

"or son-ting"

[Left Is Write]

37. Haven't seen it. Not that interested.

[Zenlitened]

38. No, in my house we prefer...

... Acme brand dynamite. :)

[ignatius 2]

39. Jes,vote for Pedro!!

[personman]

40. Is Napoleon's brother

the dude who played the chucky river killer on Reno 911?

I still havn't decided if I like the movie or not and I saw it like 2 weeks ago, maybe it blew my mind?
