Napoleon Dynamite

I just heard on the radio that ND won best movie at the MTV movie awards! Huray!!!

I absolutely love this movie and can't go a single day without quoting it. And the bf hates it...ah, oh well what does he know????

Its alright. It is what it is. Its funny as hell.
Fantasticaly low budget at its best.

I overall enjoy this move a whole shizzle load.

Im happy for it and the Studio.

I just didn't dig the movie...It seemed like a movie built around funny dialogue with no real point, conflict, or resolution.

The quotes are enjoyable though.

"This is pretty much the worst video ever made. "

It was a very good movie and I enjoyed it.

That said, I will rejoice when people finally stop quoting it like it was a lifestyle.

yessss that movie is fucking sweeet

not only do I quote it, but everything I do is now related to that movie

Heck Yes, I'd vote for it.

That was an odd little movie..... some of the characters reminded me of people I knew OO.

Think I need to go back and watch it again now......

"Like you would know that!"

I have serious love for this film. Anyone who loves this film is automatically my friend.

Just listen to your heart - that's what I do.

"What the heck are you even talking about? "

Apparently, he knows which movies suck ass.

One of my favorite films of all time. In the begining you kind of don't like the characters but they evolve and grow and you end up liking them in the end. MTV produced the film so having it win the award was kind of cheezy. The film was just brilliant and up there with David Lynches work. What the film maker did was create his own universe with characters that had depth which is very very hard to do.

I need Deb to take my Glamour Shot she was hot.

Did you really just say that Napolean Dynamite was comparable to David Lynches films?!

Also, MTV didn't produce Napolean Dynamite, they distributed it.

I seen this movie in theatres on the weekend it came out w/ my then boyfriend and two other people sitting behind us. Me and him agreed it was one of the stupidest but greatest movies evar. Then it came out on DVD and got popular. Now it just isn't so good anymore.

BLue Velvet is my favorite film of all time and I think ND ranks up there with Blue Velvet, both create a kind of sureal world. I would say that Blue Velvet is the first Surreal American film and Napoleon Dynamite the first surealist minimalist film. Thanks for the clarification on MTV distibution. I have been an amature film maker and know how hard it is to create the kind of tension in Napoleon Dynamite. I think film students will be looking at this movie as a classic 20 years from now. There is a lot more to this film than just what it seems to be on the surface.

OK, let's break it down. If you were any kind of misunderstood nerd/dweeb/geek/dork etc. in high school (or still are, even), you will probably enjoy this film. If you weren't, you probably won't. I think that about sums it up.

As a film it's pretty deadpan, so if that's not your thing, you also probably won't like it.

I used to believe that "Nothing is any good if other people like it" elitist crap when I was younger. Now I like what I like and devil take the hindmost. Enjoy the things you like and don't let anybody else tell you what's "hip" to like and what ain't. Who cares? Life's too short for that nonsense.

And again, I will quote Napoleon: Just listen to your heart. That's what I do.

You're totally fucking with my game.

unless of course you realize that the same trendy bastards who loooove this movie soooo much probably threw rocks and laughed at you in high school.

It was funny, but it certainly wasn't a good movie.

yeah. it was more like the pieces from a movie that would have been funny, but they cut them out so the other movie could have a plot.

i wonder if they used pedros cousins with all the sweet hookups to get that award

I saw it as more of a bunch of really good SNL skits strung together.

I hate how the MTV movie awards is not live and you know the winners before the show airs.

napoleon dynamite makes me want to fucking die

my 19 year old brother hit the nail on the head: 'dude, that movie is bullshit. if napoleon dynamite were a real guy, he'd be the scene-y-est guy around'
