Napoleon Dynamite

[OT]

Anybody else seen it?

If you haven't, you're missing out on one of the funniest movies made. It's about a High School geek in Idaho and his Mexican friend that will remind you of at least one guy you went to school with. Others in the movie are his 32 year old dorky brother who still lives at home and chats with hot chicks on the internet and is in training to become a cage fighter. Let's not forget his uncle who sells Tupperware and is stuck in '82.

On my list, it ranks in the top 3 with "The Big Lebowski" and "The Master of Disguise"

It's at least a must-rent.

didn't he do that movie on no budget whatsoever? Thought it was like a highschool project that he did that everybody really loved. Maybe I am wrong though.

Yeah, THAT was in B&W, but they made a full length movie from it (in color) and it's great.

The project is in the features of the DVD.

[Geepfreak]

I watched it, then I got drunk and watched it, It was alot funnier then!

Fawking loved it.
Thing is, the first time the wyfe and I saw it was on a cruise ship in Oct.
The TV on the ship only got 7 channels.
One had 'The Punisher' on endless loop, one had 'Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genious' on endless loop, one had 'Garfield' on endless loop, and the last had 'Napoleon Dynamite' on endless loop.
Needless to say, it was less funny the eighth time I saw it, because the remaining channels were highlights of the cruise.
No news, no ESPN, no motorcars, not a single luxury.
'Gimme some of your tots!'
I will still buy it, though.

[Big Red]

Yeah, it was great. Lots of 80's references. I was trying to figure out where it so based until I saw 1 of the classmates jackets with some Idaho reference. Good movie. And is Napolean a great dancer or what? :laugh3:

I Just turned to my wife and asked " have you ever heard of NEOPOLITAN Dynamite", Her reply was "What is it, some kind of ice cream. Then I realized my mistake, think I'll go lay down now...lol

...Like Robinson Crusoe, it's primitive as can be...

[Ivan]

Ok, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it sucked big time.... Sorry, I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes of it. To each his own... :viking:

[nitrogt101]

The first time it wasnt all that great, because my friends hyped it up so much I was expecting something awsomely funny. But the second time, well thats a different story. This movie is hilarious! I haven't been able to stop quoting it since I saw it last week.

"A friggin 12 gauge, what do you think?!?!"

[JnJ]

A few funny parts but over all I thought it was stupid. Ya, I'm getting old..........

[OT]

My daughter gets teased a little sometimes by the bigger kids and I told Vallaya that we should move to Idaho. From what I've seen, she'd be the coolest kid in school.

[jrsxj98]

two words
friggin hilarious.....

[DrMoab]

My wife just brought it home....Going to watch it...I will let you know what I think in about.....two hours.

[TORX]

Awesome movie never stopped laughing the whole time
That opening seen where hes standing there with his notebook is hilarious

[BajaXJ92]

I found it to be about as intellectually stimulating as a Pauly Shore film.

in fact I felt dumber for watching it.

regardless, funny as hell.

I own it.

[rock rash]

own. great.

"Don: Hey, Napoleon. What did you do last summer again?
Napoleon Dynamite: I told you! I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines!
Don: Did you shoot any?
Napoleon Dynamite: Yes, like 50 of 'em! They kept trying to attack my cousins, what the heck would you do in a situation like that?
Don: What kind of gun did you use?
Napoleon Dynamite: A freakin' 12-gauge, what do you think? "

[BrettM]

this movie is about my little brother.

I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have because all my friends saw it a couple weeks before me and they quoted it to death before I even saw it.

[Roxtar]

LMFAO all through it. Funniest to me was that my oldest son went through a stage when he talked just like that kid.
I kept thinking, "Hah! that's Niko, dead on."

[Idiot Wind]

"I spent like three hours shading the upper lip"

[CW]

That movie is a discrace to the entire gem state. I thought it was funny as hell.

[ucilxj]

I loved It. . Imust say that napoleons mannerisms were terrific. Its is very quotable, whcih is awesome! also, I think for those that didnt like it. a second try may make it better. each time Ive watched it, Ive liked it more and more

[jjvande]

Sweet!

I liked when he threw the heman out the window tied to fishing line...brings me back...

and lets not forget how COOL moon boots are!

[OT]

Guess I'll go watch it again.

"Stay at home and eat all the chips, Kip."

[DrMoab]

Guess I'll go watch it again.

"Stay at home and eat all the chips, Kip."
Yeah we watched it....Its about my son....in about three years. I told him to watch it and change his ways or he would befriend the local mexicans and get beat up all the time.

[JeeperG]

Why you guys making fun of me GOSH!!!:laugh3:

[OT]

Yep, still funny the 5th time.

"I see you're drinking one percent. Is that because you think you're fat?
Because you're not. You could be drinking whole."

[XJEEPER]

Nobody has mentioned that Lincoln is an extra in the movie?

"Betcha I could throw this football over those mountains........."

[Centrevillemx]

On my list, it ranks in the top 3 with "The Big Lebowski" and "The Master of Disguise"

It's at least a must-rent.

"Im not mr. Lebowski! Im THE DUDE. You can call me his Dudeness, Duder, or El Dudarino!"

"The Dude Abides"

Definetly in my Top 3.....

[Roxtar]

El Dudarino!if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

[Silverstreak01]

everyones watched it all the way through the credits to the wedding scene right???

[Lore5]

I watched it twice on the plane coming here to PA. I was laughing so hard on the plane people were looking at me funny. I then tried to show it to the family, cousins, aunts and uncles, and my mom said you had to be stoned to think it was funny. What ever, I think it is great.

[Atl XJ]

I think I need to watch it again, because I just don't get all the fuss about it. I think maybe it was built up to much and I'll like it more the second time--or at least I hope so.

[Darky]

yeah, I hear ya. It wasn't nearly as funny as I expected. Still kinda funy tho.

[xjfrancis]

it gets better every time. if you are young and you didn't like it the first time then you should watch it again. i've heard watching it while somking some mj it is much better

[OT]

If you grew up in school with someone like Napoleon, you will think it's hilarious, because it hits so close to home.
If you WERE Napoleon, you wouldn't really understand what all the fuss is about.
I think that's why folks love this movie, because almost everyone knows a Napoleon and can relate to at least 81% of what goes on in the movie.

[Fergie]

Whats sad, is that the whole time I was laughing, I was thinking of my older brother.

Had the weird afro kink, glasses, and weird ass shirts, and was a loner like him too.

I tried telling my mom to watch it so she could see how much Nap was like my brother, but she passed.

Funniest part:

...It took me three hours to finish the shading on your upper lip. By far the best drwing I have ever done....

Fergie

[DrMoab]

I think you need to be one state away from Idaho to REALLY understand how funny that show is.

[Lore5]

Found this today. Great for making prank phonecalls to friends

Other than seeing Lincoln as the Uncle, and XXXXX as the grandmother, it was one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. I did remind me of the few times I have been to Idaho... but never thought they would make a movie that boring. Amazing.

Later that night, I had some wine and watched it again. Much funnier then. Not one I will ever buy the DVD of though.

[tripletsjeepin]

Vote For Pedro... I need one of those shirts

Great movie. not sure of the guys real name but Napolean got paid $1000 to do that movie.... He didn't think it would be big... oops.

[pabloconrad]

Funny movie. Just down a case and smoke a pound.

[Pat]

grab a twelver and you won't stop laughing. funny sh!t.

I find it funny that I'm famous enough to be mentioned twice in this thread. SHWEET!

Damn, I have the DVD and haven't watched it yet. Soon, I tell you, soon.

Yup the male tigers and female lions(I might be swithching them around) both have a growth stopping hormones. So they take a female tiger and a male lion and combine them to make a massive beast. They are so lazy though. Just lay around and eat
