The sports radio talkshow guys here keep talking about Napolean Dynamite all the time - what they say is it was a terrible movie to sit through and watch, yet it is the absolute best & hilarious movie to remember afterwords and hear sound bites from.

One of these days I'll watch it, I suppose.

i didnt like it the first time, my brothers wanted to see it and i watched it with them...some of it was painfully slow, but it had a few really good laughs. a so-so movie that i probably wont watch again, at least not for a while

I thought it sucked but definitly was not on my "worst ever" list. Those top honors fall to movies like "Windtalkers" and "Hackers 2"

According to your poll, your opinion is wrong ;)

I feel like this movie is polarizing ATOT! It's a movie about nothing, with a bunch of funny lines. I do a killer Napoleon!

Yes. I heard nothing but good things about it, and usually go for mindless/immature humor, and was all excited about seeing it. Finally, I got the DVD and started watching it...

1/2way through I was so disgusted I had to turn it off. I was pissed off I wasted that time on the movie. And, for the record, I have never done that - before or since.

:thumbsdown::disgust:

I thought it was pretty fvcking funny myself, but then again most people on this board have sticks so far up their asses I could see how it wouldn't be liked here much at all. Probably the best PG-rated movie I've ever seen.
