not a 4-star movie, but original, funny, and it did a good job of making fun of its characters without actually being mean to them. like you could tell the movie sort of "likes" its characters. i'd give it 3 stars.

just like with any other movie some are going to like it and some aren't. i thought it was easily worth the price.
that said, does anyone have a delicious bass i could have?

It was a strange movie. The lead character was so different, and the hair, and the voice..LOL.

It was a ok movie.

I liked it. I think you have to sort of understand some of the characters to really get it. To me, it felt real in a lot of ways because there just wasn't anything really cool ever happening to anyone. A lot of the characters reminded me of people I actually know, and while napolean is the ultimate dork I could see shades of myself in him. Maybe it helps I come from a rural community with lots of farms, cows and semi out of touch people.

Best $2 I've ever spent. Laughed so hard, even after the second viewing, I haven't heard all the lines yet. However, it's definitely one of those movies I have to be around the right people and in the right frame of mind to watch. I know several people who could never get over the fact that there isn't a plot per se; it is more of a hilarious sequence of events (much like real life...)

it's frigging stupid. the movie was about absolutely nothing, but not in that cool seinfeld way.
