A movie that outlines the absolute absurdity of Western culture and the American Dream, also the meaninglessness of even existing to begin with. No, it is not meant to be a comedy. And no, it is not 'flippin' sweet'. Sure, there are funny quotes. For example:
'Who wants to bet I can go throw a football over them mountains?', 'Would you want a roundhouse kick to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys? .. Forget about it.', 'Why don't you go eat a decroded piece of crap?'(Yes, it was funny)
There were several scenes in the movie that outlined the pointlessness of what I described earlier. The chicken silo where Napoleon works, the place where Napoleon buys D'Kwon's dance grooves, Napoleon's mormon school, and yes, even all of outdoors. The movie WAS indeed filmed in Idaho. The reason nobody liked it was because of the mass conformity everyone went through, kind of like a virus. The people that spouted idiotic quotes at every opportunity were a plague, and while thinking they were original, were actually conforming into one huge .. blob. This movie is not a comedy, it is an eye-opener, an enrichment of our own idealistic views and an insight into our meaningless existence. It is also inspirational in an oddly absurd way, but also depressing at the same time, thinking that someone like Pedro can win the class president race just by Napoleon dancing his D-Kwon dance(Which you can NOT repeat). Yes, he conquered the evils of Summer Wheatley, but it also made me sad thinking about the mindless peers these kids had, all voting like sheep.
Napoleon's chronic lying and story-telling made me laugh as well. In an odd way, he was either extremely cool or extremely uncool. In the eighties and early nineties, he would have been considered extremely uncool. But now, he would have been considered a God. His lying adds to the big picture. It shows an example of him lying to escape his miserable existence.
Sheer genius.

'Napoleon Dynamite is just a huge example and metaphor for the meaningless of existence and the blending of Western culture.'

Get the napoleon dynamite mug.The worst movie I have wasted my time and money to watch/buy. Me, being the dumb fuck that I am, bought this piece of shit thinking it was going to be good. I totally should've borrowed it from someone to discover how fucking pointless it actually was. I could've kept that 20 something dollars.
All the preppy dipshits like this movie. People who actually own a functioning brain find it to be quite overrated and pointless.

Get the napolean dynamite mug.The most amazingly crap film ever. Can anyone explain what was so funny. The cast should be put against a wall and shot and as for the director and producers jeez why make this crap
Tedious, boring shite as in I would rather watch paint dry whilst being castrated than watch this film ever again. In fact the day it comes on Sky Digital I will cancel my subscription..

Get the Napoleon Dynamite mug.The fucking stupidest movie ever produced. So mind-numbingly stupid and pointless that it has been linked to causing cancer in chimpanzees.
Supposedly an outrageously funny and witty movie. Your friends are lying to you. Throughout the course of the movie, your friends wanted to stab themselves in the ears and eyeballs to stop the misery. When it was over, they were in a state of shock from having lost 90 minutes of their lives and/or having flushed $8 down the drain. Angry inside, they decided to inflict this misery on everyone they know by spreading the word that it's a great movie.
You will not be entertained. You will not be uplifted. You will not be engaged in the storyline as it does not have one. You will not be inspired. You may laugh once, perhaps twice, as idiots never seem to tire of other idiots falling over or hurting each other. Think "America's Stupidest Home Videos" in the late 80's.
People will tell you that it has a bunch of great quotes. It doesn't. The quotes aren't great, they're just easy to remember, so anyone can pick up on them and recognize them when they come out of some other idiot's mouth. Maybe I will! Gosh! Hardy har.
