The movie "Napoleon Dynamite" has taken the US by surprise. Its odd ball characters and outrageous themes make it the perfect movie for anyone. We all, cool or geek, root for Napoleon throughout the movie.

No surprise, unforgetable lines such as "I see your drinking 1%, is that cuz you think your fat? Cuz your not." have spawned from this hillarious movie.

Many hate it with a firery passion. I do not understand why.

What are your thoughts on the newest movie on my top 10 funniest movie list?

Lord, how I HATE THAT MOVIE....

How do people think it is actually funny?

That is one of the best movies I have ever seen, not just in the sense of it being funny, but it's just a really good movie. Some people, such as Vid, just don't get it.

How can you not like this movie? It's so "Flippin" hilarous and "Sweet". The movie has a flippin cult following along with merchandise at Hot Topic. How can you hate Napolean, Pedro, Deb, Kip, Uncle Rico, Lafawnduh, and Summer? They're all so funny and weirdly interesting that you can't possibly think they're boring. Look at these flippin' quotes:

"Napolean, gimme some of your Tots!"

"Whatcha gonna do today, Napolean?"
"Whatever I feel like doing, gosh!"

"Girls only want boys with skills, like nunchuck skills, bike jumping skills, computer hacking skills."

"Napolean, don't be jealous that I've been chatting with hot babes all day"

There's a lot more and the movie doesn't depend on drugs and sex humor to be entertaining. The only people who could possibly hate this movie are probably the ones who thought, Soul Plane, Catwomen, and You Got Served were good. I very well enjoyed this movie, by the way. thus, ends my flippin rant, GOSH!

I saw Napoleon Dynamite on DVD at a friend's house. All I can say is that I didn't laugh once thoughout the whole movie. The only thing that I thought was funny is how little effort seemed to have been put into making it.

By the way, I didn't even THINK about seeing Soul Plane, Catwoman, or You Got Served because they all seemed to be horrible movies.

I liked Napoleon Dynamite. If you watch it more than once, it makes more sense, like why that cow was shot. There really weren't random scenes, but I thought there was the first time I saw it, which was late one night with my brother and his friend.
I also like the moral. It was about following your heart and not caring what other people think about you, or changing the way you are dramatically for others. I don't want to cite specific sources, or that'll give away parts of the movie.

I also want to know how to make those boondoggle keychains!

It was/is so big at my high school that we (the teachers) are discussing possible having a Napoleon Dynamite theme or at least a skit(sic?). A lot of student had "Vote for Pedro" shirts during the week of our homecoming election. I missed the movie at the theater, and plan to buy the DVD, but Columbia House doesn't have it yet. I hate how they push their own movies, but wait weeks or months to sale other movies. After I buy ND I will cancel my membership.

I watched it with my parents, and everyone enjoyed it. After <spoiler>Pedro got a wig</spoiler>, just the sight of him would make me lose it.

Six thumbs up.

It is the best movie.

I have to give it seven thumbs up.

Actually, a lot of the movie is based on the director's childhood/teenhood. If something in the movie didn't happen to him, it happened to someone he knew.

They have Napoleon Dynamite merchandise? Are there any shirts with dragons on them?
