Napoleon Dynamite

good movie, doesnt make sense sober, makes perfect sense after you smoke a fat doobie

this is a simple, and funny movie. in this day of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, we have a movie that is, calm, and yet still funny. Jon Heder plays the title charter, and embodies the spirit of all those down trodden kids that suffered in high school. if you love a good psychological comedy, buy this movie, and watch it over and over again.

Ok...I don't understand all the positive reviews on this movie. This was so godawful, so unbelieveably SLOW AND so UNFUNNY, I had to turn it off after 10 minutes of viewing. Just because we don't find something slapstick hilarious doesn't mean we don't have a sense of humor. We all have different tastes and styles. And this movie wasn't it for me. STAY AWAY from this piece of crap movie.

Do you ever feel like our world needs a well-written comedy that isn't driven by mindless sex or profanity? Well if you are, you've found the perfect movie! Here we have an independent comedy written/directed by rookie director Jared Hess who captures the true reality of a nerd who's life can't get any worse at this point in time. The movie starts with a cheesy (even though I'm OK with it being cheesy), opening credits sequence where there is a different background every 5-10 seconds, and you either see a plate of food with names written out of condiments, or names on pencils or sticks of Chapstick. After this you see Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder), an afro-nerd who groans while waiting for the bus in Preston, Idaho. At school he draws medieval warriors/beasts, eats lunch with his friend Pedro (Efren Ramirez), and is pushed around by the school bully. He then returns home to his older brother Kip (Aaron Ruell) who loves to chat online, and his grandma. Napoleon also feeds the family ... Read more

Funny, quotable movie.

This movie is the namesake of two of my reptiles, I enjoy the stupidity of this movie when I am in the right mindset--i.e. drunk.

THis is a really funny movie and very affordable.I got it for my son for an Easter present.He loved it!!!!

This is a great movie, and very family friendly. It involves one of the most socially awkward people ever to grace the screens (Napoleon); the best part is that he's so awkward, but he has absolutely no idea that he is, and readily assumes that's he's a dude, particularly as exemplified by his prom outfit choice. Sadly, he completely reminds me of practically every classmate I had at college, gasp.

To say this movie is pretty much the worst one ever made it would be an insult to excrement the world over, and please spare yourself the pain, because I agree that I did enjoy the movie, but, however, it's pretty much the worst movie ever made, and NEVER BUY THIS MOVIE, BECAUSE THAT'S A BAD ONE, AND IT'S THE WORST ONE EVER MADE. This is not a movie that you probably can't handle, so, I would throw that movie in the garbage and say "I've had enough of this movie, take it away", because Liar Liar with Jim Carrey, Me, Myself and Irene with Jim Carrey and Step Brothers with John C. Reilly are just the worst movies and videos ever made, plus they are not making any friends of me and, they're just not the best, so never watch them and don't buy them, because I'd call those four movies a 'phony', and I agree that those movies are pretty fakey looking, as I say those four movies of "Liar Liar" starring Jim Carrey, "Step Brothers" starring Will Farrell, "Me, Myself and Irene" starring Jim Carr...

This was a comedy? I thought it was a psychological thriller. I was so thrilled by its dumbness.

I enjoyed this movie - it has no real plot, no moral that it's trying to teach, no swear words....just a fun study of geekdom. I hope to see it again. One of the best lines in movie history: "I WISH YOU'D GET OUT OF MY LIFE AND SHUT UP!" har har

i'm i the only one that wants to kick that guys ass

sorry but ..........

I could actually feel my brain cells dying due to the stupidity of that movie

one of my very favorite movies

Best quotes:"Last week, Japanese scientists placed explosive detonators at the bottom of lake Loch Ness to blow Nessie out of the water.  Sir Cort Godfrey of the Nessie Alliance summoned the help of Scotland's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its residents and to those who wish to keep peace with our underwater ally.""Yeah, there are a lot of gangs at this school but none that will recruit me because i'm not skilled with a bow staff.""Hey Napoleon what did you do this summer"?"I told you already, I spent the summer with my uncle in Alaska hunting Wolverines.""Did you kill any"?"Yes like 50 of em', they were attacking my cousins, what the heck would you do in that situation"?"What kind of gun did you use"?"A freakin' 12-gauge, what do you think"?Lol.

2 hours I want back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A funny high quality comedy. Napoleon Dynamite is set in a kind of surreal suburban desert setting with a set of eccentric characters, and what is scary is that we all have seen people like this in real life am I wrong? I have a tendency to shy away from things that get too mainstream popular, but in the case of this movie I can't help but still like it despite it's huge success. The scene near the end with Napoleon dancing is classic, I watched it like 10 times when I first saw it on DVD.

Dumbest funny movie i've seen

I know...I know

hmm...

can i have your tots lol

Future classic!

loved this film!!

Over-rated but it has it's moments. Give it credit for being very different than most of the dreck coming out of Hollywood.

haha, people didn't give it enough credit

I fell asleep through it

Fuckin Shitty.

THIS IS FUNNY STUFF!!

It's a Liger -- a lion and a tiger

One of a kind. There have been imitators since, but this movie was the start.

It's good once or twice in a lifetime, but that's it.

didnt see it

Okay... but weird

8TH GRADE DANCE THEME!

awsome goooosh

odd humor but still made me laugh

This movie was so random and different that it made the 5 star list. I saw it twice and loved it both times. =)

I hated it at first, but I admit parts of it are funny. What turned me off was whoever directed the movie, seemed to be laughing at the characters for being oddballs, and expected us to laugh, too.

not memorable

Some gangs are looking at recruiting my for my sweet bowstaff skillz!!!

Classic, wasn't a huge fan at first...the more I watch it the more I like it

i only watched this movie because my kids encouraged me. i was doubtful but it is a clever and funny movie. i would vote for Pedro.

Tina it some dinner you fat lard

Gooshh!!!!!! LOL

gosh....can i hav some chap-stic

I hated this movie!!!!

I got mad skills

This had to have been the stupidist and cheesiest movie ever made; But it was so stupid and true to life that it worked and you just kept laughing.
