Definitely. Friggin hilarious!

For those who haven't seen it. Get a bunch of friends together, get drunk, and proceed to laugh your @ss off.

A VERY quotable movie.

It's not a good movie at all. It's not funny and the first 45-minutes drags along. It looks like a HS film project. Bad writing, bad acting, bad cinematography. It took me 3-sitting to get through the whole movie.

I swear I didn't laugh at this movie once!

Why do people like this? I read if you grew up in Idaho or Utah you got this movie?

I didn't, I grew up in the inner city of California. I don't get this movie at all nad I don;t see how it can be considered a "cult" hit.

It's total crap!

buy this man a
:beer:

What was up with that? At first, I thought it was supposed to be misspelled, but since he met her online, it doesn't really make any sense that he wouldn't know how to spell her name.

It was a misspelling for the movie. This movie wasn't about details ..lol

one of the funniest movies of the year, by far the best in the 'teen' genre if you want to put it there.

If you can't remember your highschool days or you dont understand American culture maybe you didn't get it. I think you also have to be self-aware to get the most out of it. The movie is character-driven and if you can't relate people you know in real life to the characters then you probably wont think it's funny.

My high school days were the antithesis of this movie's depiction. In fact, I don't know anyone who experienced anything remotely similar to that.

You didn't know any Dungeons and Dragons geeks?

Obviously it was a very exaggerated depiction, but I definitely knew some people who Napoleon reminded me of. If you've seen the movie Stand By Me, the identical twins in the crowd who yell at lardass went to HS with me. They were very much like Napoleon except they were actually smart. Completely socially inept, but one scored 1600 on his SAT's and the other scored like 1580.

No. All the intelligent kids at my school (at least in my graduating class) had social skills. As I said, my high school experience was the complete opposite of the one portrayed. Even the kid with DS in our class had social skills that were exponentially higher than Napoleon.

one of the best movies i have seen in years. notice something? no sex, no cussing, just characters.

 

[ATLien247]

Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Which is quite surprising, since our movie tastes are usually completely opposite.

I'll admit, I wish I could get down like Napolean...

Flippin' Chickens !

 

[edro]

Loved it. Know many people who hated it.

Vote for me and all your wildest dreams will come true.

 

[CptObvious]

I thought it was great. The movie had an 80's retro vibe, especially with the soundtrack, that was cool.

 

[edro]

Look around on IMDB a little bit and find this!

Believe it or not... from Left to Right: Pedro, Kip, Uncle Rico, Naploeon, Director.

i also noticed the movie had no plot, no substance, just a way to waste 90 minutes of my life i want back.
