Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

hassanmh-54702 Well, it's not that type of movie that will make you laugh. Because it has not been made in that way.

okamiokami An absolute pain to watch. I fast-forwarded to try and find a single scene worth watching. No luck.The message (if any) is not clear. The main characters are single-digit IQ students, hard to sympathise with them (unless the watcher is in the same situation, and in that case they may not understand the humour). Make no mistake, Forrest Gump this ain't.Typical American high school bullying is portrayed, with a twist: where in other movies jocks torment smart (or funny, or witty) yet socially inept schoolmates, here it's idiots against other (maybe even bigger) idiots.I didn't have the heart to watch it to the end to find if and how the inept lead character would prevail.Napoleon Dynamite brings sad and abused cliches to their limit, and beyond. The result is an appalling display of idiocy.Don't waste your time with this crap. Having your nails ripped would be a less painful experience.

rubyhannon-53215 Aw yeah what a classic def 10/10, all of you drongos don't get it. yeah the boys i say. yeah the boys.

benjaminburt Napoleon Dynamite is so unpretentious, so simple, and so funny that I would consider it one of the greatest comedies of all time. As a disclaimer, I would definitely say that it's not for everyone. It's basically a really goofy comedy that tries to immerse the viewer in its odd little world, and plays the ridiculous characters off of the straight-man background.Napoleon Dynamite has undeniable staying power, and its fans will keep coming back to it year after year. That's what sets this movie apart for me: it resonates with its audience. Forget its quotability, its fun, and its enjoyment, Napoleon Dynamite tapped into the soul of its audience, both the losers and the popular kids, but especially those who felt like they didn't have any clue what they were doing with their young lives as well as those who felt that way growing up. If you go into thinking that it's a character study who is going to make a journey or this, that, or the other thing, you're going to be disappointed. Take it as it is: a simple comedy about a simple person and his ridiculous life.
