Napoleon Dynamite

[wilecoyote76]

Okay folks, tell me what you think about this movie. You can tell it was a way low budget film but heck, it was filmed here in Idaho of all places....Preston to be exact. It is a stupid funny flick that kept me laughing at Napoleon because he is just a dork, enough said. I think I got a kick out of it more because I grew up not too far from there. Napoleon's dancing for the skit is just hilarious. If you've seen it, let me know what you think.

4 Moosie spikes for me!!!

Best movie of the Year!!!

Filmed for $200 or $300k and box office sales of $45million. Expected to do the same on DVD. I know of people who have seen it multiple times at the theater.

We still have local theaters showing it, 6 months later.

[Mojave]

This is the very first movie review I put in this new section (look way at the bottom of the page :D).

I'm with Gunner, best movie of the year! One of the very few I consider a must-have when it comes to DVD.

Available on DVD today.... :cool:

[Mojave]

Hubby actually took a look around tonight. Sold out everywhere he went. The gal at Blockbuster said "we had no idea, we only ordered 10 for sale". Every copy was sold or rented before noon.

[Orca Lover]

I saw it back in august, funniest movie ever. My boyfriend has seen it three times, and his room mate has seen it liek 6 or 8 times!!! I am getting it for mike for christmas (hopefully). Usually we try to apply some Napolean language to our lives... "your ruining my life... GOSH!!!"
"A friggin 12 guage, what do you think?"

I watched it again this morning and I missed a lot that I didn't pick up on the first time around. I laughed so hard it wasn't even funny. For those of you that haven't seen it yet, check out this website and go to multimedia to watch some portions of the show. Very funny stuff!!

[Sako7STW]

I tried to find this movie yesterday and the 4 places in town were either both sold out and rented out. That includes Wally World!! Must be a heck of a good movie. Cant wait to see it.

[Mojave]

Finally found it at the grocery store.

Everyone who has this, don't miss the wedding scene at the end of the credits!

[Sako7STW]

I finally got to watch this last night. had to rent the video because all the DVD's were rented out. Didnt see the wedding scene though dang it!! I dont know what to think of this one. It is so stupid it should be a 1 but yet I laughed so hard it should be a 5 but yet its not a 3 either way. I think they shoulda had Napoleon in a love making scene. That woulda been funny as heck. I could see it now, " (Nap.)Heck NO!! Grandma didnt show me what I am supposed to do with this."

You know whats really funny, just typing that made up quote, I even typed it slow LOL.

[Sako7STW]

I also dont get why all you Idaho spud pickers like this movie so much? It is a terrible showing for the intelligence of the Idaho populous. Is it because you know it is so rediculous or does it hit just too close to home LMFAO!!!!!

Just ribbing ya's

[wilecoyote76]

Hey Sako, I can't speak for others here in Idaho but it does hit way too close to home only because I grew up only 40 minutes from Preston and know the area well. I am surprised that old Napoleon didn't get more chicks with those 'sweet' birth control glasses and kick @$$ moon boots he wears. LOL

[Washington Hunter]

We saw it and Hated it, Don't understand what Ya'll see in it <--- Aimee

[BlackTimber]

I'm with Washington. I thought it was quite stupid. I kept asking myself why I was watching it. There were a couple funny parts but all in all pretty dumb. I grew up in S.E. Idaho and N. Utah and I went to school with people like Nepoleon.
I can't believe I got that for one of my daughters Christmass presents. What was I thinking?????

[oldoregon]

I LOVE THAT MOVIE! "Nunchuck skill, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills... Skills"

[GatoMan]

Well I thought the movie was lame....all the way around, had a couple funny parts but there was a complete lack of story, it jumped around so much in choppy scenes I thought it was stupid...... I would'nt buy nor rent it again.

[Canoe]

I loved it as well. I was laughing so hard I missed a lot of the funny parts the first time through. "don't be jealous just because I've been chatting with hot babes online all day, besides, you know I'm training to be a cage fighter"

[AZ402]

" I caught you a delicious bass" That movie was the funniest............

[JoseCuervo]

"You don't need to drink 1%. You could drink 2%"...

[DRAFTSTUD]

My son and Grandson watched this movie so many times they started to become De-sensitve to it, so they set the DVD to play it in Spanish, new ballgame! We finally had to bang on the wall for them to keep it down!

[IdahoBugler]

I like when Napoleon first meets Pedro. "There's a butt load of gangs around here. This one gang wants me to join because I'm pretty good with a bow staff." Freakin funny chit.

When I first watched it I thought it was slow. But when I think back about the funny parts it just gets funnier everytime.

[Moosie]

I might have to Watch it again.. But right now I'd rather put that Fetchin Time machine on my Nutz 3 times then sit through 2 hours of that Crap again.... Although I might steal some of the lines if I remember them..... 1% and the Skills one ;)

Although I've never been happier to turn of the DVD when a Movie ended besides that robot kid show were he watches Mother teresa..... What ever that show was called.

Kick me in the nads pleeeeeze !!!!!!!

(Ps, I was the cool guy in the White shirt :D)

[point man]

I have to admit that I thought it was funny the first time. Caught some things that I missed on the second time with almost son in law, still comical. With the wife's brain trouble and therefore lack of memory, "We have not seen this one yet", the next two times the humor was winding down. Except for the the "Let me try" bike jump part. CRUNCH!!

[Moosie]

After a Good nights sleep.. I still think it Sucked :D Although Mojave was Laughing at me tonight because It was her movie I borrowed and I knew Every friggin line in the Movie :D

[Mojave]

Heck y'all should have seen him do Napoleon's run. He nailed it! :D

[wilecoyote76]

Hey Mo, does Moosie dance like Napoleon though? Those 70's dance moves Napoleon puts on have to be way too complicated for the old Moose Man!!

[Mojave]

I don't know, but I think at the next HuntTalk gettogether we ought to find out....and shoot video. :D

[IdahoCritterGetter]

thought it was stupid funny 4 sure! Drinking prob multiplys the laughs by 10!
4 up originallity!

[Quick Draw]

GREAT MOVIE!!!!!!! I saw over New Years, it was great, I enjoyed it.

[smalls]

I just watched it this weekend. Friggin HILARIOUS!

"Gosh, they were attacking my cousins, what would you do in that situation?"

[schmalts]

I thought it was a piece of crap.

[Nut]

I thought it was a piece of crap.

Ditto

[noharleyyet]

First time I watched it (last Christmas), wasn't paying much attention...watched it again a few days later...hilarious...watched it again this Christmas...even better. Well done underdog flic. Everymans' nerd.

[JoseCuervo]

If you can't laugh at that movie, you probably can't laugh....

[Ithaca 37]

I thought it was boring. Must be a generational thing.

[MarvB]

Either I'm as old as Ithaca or must not have been in the mood for jocularities....thought it was boring to mildly amusing. Had more fun watching the people who thought the movie was funny.....

[cjcj]

At first i thought it was lame... but it got better....it was laid back and slow.. but it progressed ..... i would not say great at all though it was a good "low budget" flick.... The dance scene at the end was a hoot.

[jmcd]

I thought it was the worst movie I had ever seen, untill the dance at the end. Then I was ROTFLMMFAOUIPMP!!!!

[Tuffbucker]

Easily one of my favorite movies of all time!! GOSH!!
