You probably saw it after all the hype so you saw it expecting something really great.
Yeah, I did see it after the hype. I guess when you're going in not expecting anything, you can kind of enjoy a movie that does whatever it feels like, gosh...I feel dirty now.

The line "Tina, come get some ham," only aggrivated me because I heard so many people repeat it. I can understand if you're watching a movie and a throwaway line tickles your fancy. It's what makes you laugh, and it comes down to who you are, but people were dancing around quoting it like it was some deep comedic genius. In actuality, he wants a llama to eat.

That's what I think my biggest problem with Napoleon Dynamite is. It's nothing but what it is, and for a movie that tries to be so subtle and intelligent with its humour, it's pretty much a sledgehammer to the face, or a cold shower on a winter morning.
