no you are wrong. It was subtle, but well done and thusly became popular. It took on it's own life outside the theater and into people's vocab. It was not a sledgehammer by design, it became one through it's audience.

I see your point, and the audience did wreck it, but I personally think it was fairly obvious while I was watching it. Some of the gags are subtle, and do hit (I loved the way Napoleon went as far as the chord would go around a corner while he talked), but a lot of it seemed to be trying too hard.

Take Napoleon's love interest, I've forgotten her name: The performance was just too obvious right down to the physical appearance (who does their hair like that?). Sure, that may have been the point, but I don't think it was subtle at all. Things like getting meat thrown in the face aren't the smartest gags, either.

I think it is more fractioned their absolute either way, but watching it I knew why I was meant to laugh, I just didn't think it was clever or funny.

I think the essence of the actual Napoleon Dynamite character is somewhat cerebral, but the way it was adapted is just too one-dimensional for any depth.

I still haven't seen it - I might rent it today and let you all know my thought on this movie. Of course now I am expecting not to like it, so I may be in for a suprise.

I hope you do enjoy it.

I just found it too celebrated for so little.

What a complete and utter piece of shit - WOW

Quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen, it's hard to describe how mind numbling boring that movie was, so boring infact it is one of the few movies that I have turned off before the end. 51 minutes was all I could take, terrible terrible movie.

I'm sorry to hear about your suffering, but it's good to see you're in the same camp.
