Napoleon Dynamite

Originally posted by Gaddes Indeed ND is a riot. I love his constant wacky remarks for everything about a gang wanting him too join because he was good with a Bo Staff, and how he forgot his nunchucks (spelled that wrong) in his locker. I loved ND great movie, I need too buy it.

I have the DVD, and I bought the soundtrack at Wal-Mart today.

I saw this in Video/Flim class. Couldn't stand it.

I can't believe how annoying this movie was. Didn't even get a giggle out of me..

i saw it, did you know someone created a real life liger

It's a love-it-it-or-hate-it movie. I loved it. When the summer is jammed to the brim and over with action-packed big guns-tiny brains movies...along comes Napoleon and Kip...I tip my hat to the creators for daring to be different and bringing out the humor in everyday life. It's one of my favorite American-made films ever! What's makes it even better is knowing that this movie was made with next to no money, but the sole fact fact that it was fresh and original made it go far.

I really enjoyed it. However, now everyone around me is quoting from it and wearing Vote 4 Pedro items. It's begining to drive me crazy!

And yes, I own the DVD.

i loved this movie, but im still confused about the point. i love delicious bass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my sis wouldnt believe me that it was an mtv production becuse she said mtv would never make an indie film, and im like, well, they did.

I just saw it yesterday. I loved it. Its undoubtedly one of my favorite movies of all time. It never let up on the laughs. There were never any low points like you find in most other movies. It just kept on generating one scenario after another. My entire family liked the movie, and since they generally hate what I like, that has to say something.

I LOVED this movie! I just watched it last night. I half expected to hate it because 1.) I was told I'd probably not enjoy it and 2.) I thought I wouldn't enjoy it because I thought it was going to be horrible to the characters.

Instead, I got a kick out of this movie! I love it! Though, I found the menu on the DVD to be the most annoying thing ever.

None the less, I found the movie VERY enjoyable. Kip's story was GREAT. For some reason, that was the highlight of the movie for me.

Welcome to J. Frank Dobie High School, Bleedthrough.

This movie was utterly too short. Its like trying to watch an abridged version of the simpsons. I liked it a bit, thought its not the best movie ever. I just feel it would be better off as a series, where they could elaborate more on it.

Well, actually, the people that constantly quoted ND eventually stopped and started quoting Dane Cook 24/7, but at least it ended...

i liked some parts and hated others. really a love/hate sorta thing.

Lucky. Everyone quotes it here. EVERYONE. Except for MOST of the teachers..

saw it in theaters
own the DVD
great movie, Napoleon is a great character.
although it bugs me that it's one of those "hipster" movies.

Maybe its the fact this movie is horribly over quoted, or the fact none of the previews did anything for me...but...I'm not that inclined to rush out and rent this.

When it hits HBO or something, sure, I'll give it a chance. But otherwise...I haven't seen the draw.

Really....because I seem to remember being BOMBARDED with trailers for it on television, so I think marketing may have played some role in its success.
