How can this be anyone's favorite movie? It doesn't even have a plot. It is so sophomoric it is almost painful to watch.

I saw it and didn't think it was very funny, either.

And anyone here that knows me knows that I have a rather crass and immature sense of humor sometimes. :P

Pretty much the only funny parts in the movie were him dancing at the end and the part with the mule where he's all like, "Tina, eat the food. Tina, you fat lard, eat the food. EAT THE FOOD!!"

I can see how it's hard for some people to get into it but it got me right at the first. I put in the movie thinking, this is going to be so stupid why am I even watching it, but then he got on the bus, sat down and that kid said, "what are you gonna do today Napoleon" and Napoleon said, "whatever the frig I feel like doing, gosh!" and that was it, I was laughing my butt off for the rest of the movie.

I saw part of it since it was playing in the pub when I was there during a spare, I'll have to watch it all since it does look pretty good from what I saw.

Don't be sad, little worm. A hungry birdie will find you soon enough.

And right now I'm wearing a silk g-string.

I absolutely LOVE Napolean Dynamite. its my favoritest movie of all time. I even bought a "Vote For Pedro" and "I Love Tator Tots" shirt, and a Napolean Dynamite pen to show my love towards the movie. its absolutely hilarious and everywhere i go i can hear phrases of the movie. at my school there is even a guy there that dresses up as napolean dynamite and he has went up in front of the whole school and did the whole napolean dynamite dance perfectly. and just to let everybody know Jon Heder, aka napolean dynamite, is going to be on jay leno tonight.

Peace Out Napolean!
