Made it to half-way, tops. Why? It has nothing to do with me being offended by anything or whatever but just because I found it extremely boring and the type of humor employed in this film just makes me cringe. It's actually pretty easy to make me laugh but this film still failed to deliver.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-86872417929552625552007-05-08T02:01:00.000-05:002007-05-08T02:01:00.000-05:00Why do people like Napoleon Dynamite so much?

Avoid wasting your money in low quality comedy, and use it towards a more worthwhile cause... BTW, I live in Idaho, and it seems to be stuck in the 80s sometimes.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317758327977031862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-1143429468831755352006-03-26T21:17:00.000-06:002006-03-26T21:17:00.000-06:00I think Roger Ebert grabbed the wrong end of the s...I think Roger Ebert grabbed the wrong end of the stick. As I saw it, the nerds and social misfits at the center of the story are the heroes, not the butt of jokes.<BR/><BR/>At times it was painful for me to watch because I was such a social misfit.<BR/><BR/>It really hit home when I realized that the style of glasses I currently wear is the same as Napoleon's.<BR/><BR/>Jeff, if you haven't seen the movie yet, buy the DVD.Bookslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077778974473538408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-1103853939077568612004-12-23T20:05:00.000-06:002004-12-23T20:05:00.000-06:00just saw it. we rented it at BB. didn't even know ...just saw it. we rented it at BB. didn't even know it was an lds movie. looked it up online and found your blog. the opening credits are the most original i have ever seen. the movie took an age old idea and showed it in a ubique way that was incredibly refreshing. most of all it is hilarous. we replayed napoleon's dance sequence and our entire family stood up and laughed and danced. best we have seen in ages!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-1091426061086595182004-08-02T00:54:00.000-05:002004-08-02T00:54:00.000-05:00I'm guessing that it was such a hit at Sundance be...I'm guessing that it was such a hit at Sundance because it's a refreshing burst of sunshine compared to the content and subject matter of many of the films shown there (obscure, artsy films with nary a heterosexual character or a nuclear family to be seen).<br /><br />But if you're used to summer blockbusters, I imagine you'll be disappointed by ND for its pace and feel of an independent film. <br /><br />I was a bit disappointed coming out of the theatre, but after thinking about it a bit and comparing it to other indies that I've seen, it stands out in my mind as the best I've experienced of the genre. And I respectfully disagree with Ebert's assessment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-1090923896776382992004-07-27T05:24:00.000-05:002004-07-27T05:24:00.000-05:00Love your blog.

There were some boring parts and the plot was minimal, but I laughed and that's what I went for. I think people who have grown up in the UT/ID/WY area can especially appreciate the humor. <br /><br />However, if you watched the preview and thought that it was distinctly unfunny, then you probably wouldn't laugh very often at the whole movie. <br /><br />Though, on the other hand, how many PG movies are out there in the first place? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
