napolean dynamite

Probably the stupiest and most pointless movie ever made. Its about some weird kid with huge glasses that everyone quites over and over again. This movie should be taken out of all movie stores and erased from everyones memory.

1. SEE Pimp.

2. Great movie. Some people like it, some people don't but if you're like me (which is unlikely,) go ahead and watch Napolean Dynamite if you haven't yet.

*Napolean Dynamite

Is about a teenager who isn't so dynamite in his universe. But in the real world he's the funniest loser ever. One could categorize this with some of the best teen movies ever (16 candles, The Breakfast Club, etc.)

The movie has no set time. The time is Peluca, Idaho. It's a movie about a teen going through obstacles and going through more obstacles, which become the funniest PG movie I've seen.

Napoleon Dynamite

A torturously funny film that is amazingly accurate in its portrayal of life in a Mormon town. Most of the smaller towns in the Rocky-mountian west are predominantly Mormon.

Although it doesn't say it in the movie, Napoleon is a Mormon kid.
The clues are everywhere. His "Ricks College" t-shirt is a dead give away. Ricks College is a Mormon school, (now called BYU Idaho). The second-hand store where Napoleon shops is one store in a whole chain of stores scattered throughout Utah, Idaho, Arizona and Nevada called "Deseret Industries", (pronounced Des..err...et) or "DI" for short, and is owned and operated by the Mormon Church.

Napoleon talks about scout camp. The Boy Scout program is almost single-handedly run by the Mormon (LDS) Church in the west, and is a very significant part of their development program for boys. The director and his co-writer wife are Mormon, so is the actor who plays Napoleon. Most of the cast/crew are from Brigham Young University, (BYU)and most of the cool words that Napoleon uses like flip and gosh have been used by Mormon kids for decades.

Even the liger has roots in growing up in the Mormon west...the liger was a real half-lion half-tiger that actually lived for many years at the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, and is well known to legions of Mormon kids who went to Hogle Zoo on field trips. After it died it was stuffed and mounted and is still on display at the zoo.

Though no-fault of the director, (the film is loosely based on his life in Preston) much of the deeply subtle humor in the movie is only caught by those familiar with Mormon culture. Napoleons clothes and the furniture in his house for instance, are all "total DI".

All in all, a "funny as heck" movie that can be enjoyed by all and is well worth seeing whoever and whatever you are.

Napoleon Dynamite

1. The best movie EVER
2. An okay movie
3. The worst most EVER
1. Napoleon Dynamite was so fucking funny! Remember the part where the guy said "your mom goes to college?"
2. Napoleon Dynamite was okay. I mean, I didn't hate it or anything.
3. "Your mom goes to college?" What the fuck does that mean?

napoleon dynamite

a movie that i personally enjoyed for its oddball humor.

a movie that some people hate just because a lot of buttholes quote it all the time and just because it's popular. hating napoleon dynamite just because a lot of other people like it is a bad reason to hate it. it's like hating peanut butter or jelly just because it's popular.
i watched napoleon dynamite and thought it was funny and a good movie overall. if you don't like my opinion, tough luck.
