"Last week, Japanese scientists explaced... placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Loch Ness to blow Nessie out of the water. Sir Godfrey of the Nessie Alliance summoned the help of Scotland's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally."

guess I am in the minority having thought the movie was really bad...the best part IMHO was the dance routine at the end as damn he was good.

other than that I didn't see much of the humor and am scared to think that people like him might actually be out there...

the brother was funny though.
 
It was funny, but really odd at the same time. There was almost no noticeable emotion from Napoleon throughout the movie and he's very monotone.
 
I saw it when it came out on rental. I guess it was funny and different but I don't see what all the hype was about. it wasn't THAT funny. the people were annoying, big time, and nothing ever happened. then at the end he dances for like 30 minutes and as a result everything works out? was that supposed to be a joke?

for me the movie only makes sense if I look at it as if it was a joke. because otherwise it was just bleh

but it was alright, just alright IMO okay IMHO!!!!
 
I was going to post that I saw it the other day, and didn't think it was too funny... But while reading the quotes posted above, I found myself laughing to myself.
It's only the worst day of my life, JEEZ!

It's a funny, if pointless movie. My favorite part is where Pedro gives his speech for student body president, and says in the most monotone, unenthusiastic voice, "If you vote for me, all your wildest dreams will come true." Then he shuffles off the stage like he knows he lost. Napoleon's dance on the stage afterwards is hilarious.

Hahaha...
didn't that one pic turn out to be a hoax? I swear i watched a documentary on history/discovery/something like that and the song came forewards and admitted it was a hoax
 
I really HATED this movie. Seriously probably the worst movie I have ever seen. I give it a 2/10. 1/10 being the lowest I give it a 2 only becuase they had the balls to actually release this movie to the public and not scrap the entire thing.

I didn't even smile once during the entire thing.
 
terrible movie..

it has a freaks and geeks quality but unlike F&G (which imo is one of the most underrated tv shows ever made) i simply could not give a rats ass about any of the characters. by the end of the movie i wanted to hunt down that kid and remove his reproductive organs to ensure the human race stays uncontaminated.

first impression was that it sux but it grows on you... or either everyone else is high on cough medicine! 🙂
 
yeah i didnt leave the theater LOLing, but the more i thought about it the funnier i realized it was. laughed more the second time through. only criticism of the movie was it took so long to develop a plot, and even then, it wasnt a very strong one.
 
When I was watching it I chuckled once in a while....but somewhat like ninjas, I can't stop thinking about it. It has some great lines and it's a very dry strange humor. Probably the type of humor that is found on this board. "(A Liger) It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic"
