Napoleon Dynamite
 
Am I the only person here who thinks that this movie was a giant, overrated, waste of time, pile of shit?? I'd hope not.

Discuss your thoughts.

No. No you are not.

Funky Fly 03-03-2007 07:23 PM

No, it's pretty love it or hate it.

Blitz 03-03-2007 07:34 PM

I thought it was moderately funny, thus shooting holes through Funky Fly's hypothesis.

Funky Fly 03-03-2007 07:48 PM

I will shoot holes through your face with cumshots.

YOUR Hero 03-03-2007 07:50 PM

I really enjoyed it.

KayfabeMan 03-03-2007 08:00 PM

YOUR Hero's post does not look good under Funky Fly's last post.

:shifty:

Xero 03-03-2007 08:22 PM

Personally I thought it tried too hard too hard at subtle humor, and even if it weren't subtle it would still fucking suck.

Jura 03-03-2007 09:10 PM

I really liked it the first time but I couldn't stand to watch it again.

Rammsteinmad 03-03-2007 09:35 PM

It's not bad. It's not the best film I've ever seen, though that dance scene is awesome. The way he runs off at the end is quite funny.

like said before, people love it or hate it. i love it.

I personally liked it, not the greates movie but, it did a good job of capturing the "high school" feel really....any one seen that spoof of 50 cents "just a little bit" called "just a little kip?"....its fucking hilarious.

KingofOldSchool 03-03-2007 11:04 PM

Terrible unfunny, much like Borat.

DrA 03-03-2007 11:14 PM

KingofOldSchool, you sure like to stir shit with your attempts at "casual" observational cynicism. Unfortunately, it just reveals you to be a colossal prick.

DrA 03-03-2007 11:16 PM

Also, I quite enjoyed Napoleon Dynamite. Pretty comical in many parts, especially those with Uncle Rico in them.

Not trying to stir shit.

My opinion is that Napolean Dynamite ranks right with Borat as being overrated and unfunny.

That was my opinion before, now, and in the future. There is nothing anything wrong with that, bub.

Champion of Europa 03-04-2007 01:17 AM

I used to like it, but hearing everyone quote it, badly, for two years drove me insane. I can't watch the movie, anymore.

Silent 03-04-2007 03:07 AM

I thought it was alright the first time through, but I got insanely bored when I tried to watch it again a couple months later. Turned it off about halfway through.

NoJabbaNoBogRoll 03-04-2007 05:08 AM

It is hilarious.

Seems to be the cool thing to say it is overrated at the moment.

Requiem 03-04-2007 07:49 AM

Pretty much hated it. One of the most overrated movies ever, tbh.

AdrianM 03-04-2007 10:29 AM

Skippord 03-04-2007 11:01 AM

Borat > KoOs

My enjoyment of it went down about 75% when I saw it outside of the theater.

Supreme Olajuwon 03-04-2007 01:43 PM

I saw it maybe a week or two after it was released and I loved it. Everything was so new and I could go back and remember certain parts and laugh my ass off. Then after it got huge and it became the flavor of the month the humor lost a lot of its charm. I still appreciate the movie for it what it was but I couldn't watch it again.

I was a little worried for a while that maybe Xero was my own personal Tyler Durden or something (Or maybe me, his...) since I never disagree with him, but this time I will. I really enjoyed this movie.

DMI 03-04-2007 01:59 PM

one of my favorite movies EVER

Everyone's allowed one.

:shifty:

FakeLaser 03-04-2007 02:05 PM

The first time I saw it, I saw it like 6 months before it was in theaters. They had a special screening of it at my high school for some reason. I don't know, I was high as hell and not really paying attention and I hated it, though some parts made me LOL. I hated it though.

Then I saw it again and thought it was hilarious.

Now I hate it again.

Bad Company 03-04-2007 04:32 PM

Overrated, but not that bad. But it's cool to hate it now...

KayfabeMan 03-04-2007 04:47 PM

I just saw the movie for the first time the other day, after seeing clips of it forever and a day and hearing about how good it was, etc. forever now. I finally decided to give it a chance and see it, and it was one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Nervous Ferret 03-04-2007 05:34 PM

It was hilarious but the non-stop quoting of it completely killed it for me. The first time I saw it I dug it though

Triple A 03-04-2007 05:51 PM

I saw it the first day it came out in NYC and it was insane how funny it was to me. It was like the funniest shit I had ever seen in my life. I went back the next week with a different group of people to watch it again, and everyone loved it then and I loved it even more the second time. I was convinced it was the funniest movie I had ever seen. Then I went a third time like a week later with my brother and he also loved it, and I loved it even more. Then I downloaded it and watched it two more times and still found it ROFL.

It is insanely hilarious. Such ridiculous weird humor. So many parts got stuck in my head. Like when Rico is talking to Kip at that restaurant and he has his arms folded and he keeps pushing his muscles out, lol I dunno. LOVE IT.

But now it is ruined to all hell. All the people quoting it like two years after it came out. It is completely dead. I dunno if I would find it funny at all if I tried watching it now.

El Capitano Gatisto 03-04-2007 05:59 PM

I still love it. If people quoting things ruins it then a lot of things would be completely ruined. With films it's not the same with comedy TV shows for me. In that regard.

I haven't watched it in a while but I'm sure I'd still find it funny.

Triple A 03-04-2007 06:05 PM

I dunno how bad people were quoting it in the UK but over here, you have no idea. People quoted literally every fucking thing to a point where it completely voids it of all humor.

Nervous Ferret 03-04-2007 06:11 PM

IDIOT

Rammsteinmad 03-04-2007 07:28 PM

What sorta quotes were people ripping the asses out of? Coz over here in the UK (Where I am anyway) I've yet to hear anyone quote it.
