Napoleon Dynamite

I though this movie was funny and real.

Anyone else?

"I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to."

Love this movie. Definitely not for everyone though. Not all that much laugh out loud humor, but I had a smile on my face the whole time. Great for people that knew (or were) the social rejects in high school. It's all about the characters---the plot is secondary and doesn't make all that much sense.

Did you know, the movie was directed and written by a married Mormon couple? No profanity in the movie, although you gotta love how Napoleon throws out gosh and freakin all the time.

"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. "

Yes,...this movie goes down as a classic in my book. I laughed the entire time......

I saw this with my family. I liked the movie. The rest of the family was uncertain what they thought. They kept on pointing out who the characters reminded them of. They were also rooting for Napoleon to do something good. What cracked me up the most was Napoleon climbing over a chain linked fence. My 9 year old said "Look! He can climb a fence well!" Then he falls down on the other side. That was too funny.

I watched part of this movie last night.

I must be missing something. I couldn't understand the humour in it.

Huh? You must not have any skills :wink: Personally, I have skills and that's one reason why my wife married me!

C'mon, havn't you ever tied an army dude to a string and drug it behind the bus? Do we really have to ask Why? LOL


p.s. None of our chickens have talons :-D

Gee, even my wife laughed at certain things like climbing the chain fence and falling down.

I guess I found the auditorium dance......somewhat unusual. Actually it was more embarassment for him than anything else.

Hey Vice,
Can I have your tots?

Didn't you ever have a cute girl chase you in Jr. High and you said the most stupidest things? Like...
Are you drinking 1 % because you think your fat? :D

 

[Quath]

It is the humor of relating to a social misfit.

No, but I gotta admit that I've wanted to throw grapefruits at someone's car as they passed by because they did something stupid that impacted me earlier. :-D

Edited for non mature / appropriate content... :-D

So then, you should be able to relate to the scene where she is sitting on the school steps obviously flirting (and even eluded to a ride home) with him, and he's so intent on drawing his "Liger", that he doesn't even know that she's flirting :D

Ha!! Admit it!!

I'm with Vice, I found this movie to be fairly dull.
