Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

You forgot the "I haven't seen it yet" option in your poll. It's one I've heard all about and think I'll enjoy. It's on my list of "things to do" right now.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

True, I hope you enjoy it, I for one love it

Thanks... I just might.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

It's in the top 5 worst movies ever, as well as unfunny comedies ever.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

Vince - If you don't mind me asking, may I ask what are your top 5 funniest movies? Just so we see where you're coming from.

Napolean Dynamite was pretty terrible. If its on anyone else's "things to see" list I would advise choosing another movie. Vince didnt reply yet with his list of the top 5 comedies. Here is how everyone should see it:

1.) Roadtrip
2.) Kingpin
3.) Anger Management
4.) Caddyshack
5.) All 3 of the American Pie's

These are your top 5 lame comedies? I wholeheartedly agree. Well, except for Caddyshack that is.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

It's too bad they promoted this as some kind of hilarious comedy. It's a set of sketches of quirky people. The sketches aren't hilarious, they're just amusing and sometimes a little sad. There's no plot, really. If you go to it expecting a laugh riot you'll be very disappointed.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

I think that is a great point, I know that people who haven't seen it yet, but want to see it because their friends all said it was great. But what they think the movie is, and what it actually is is two very different things.

Post of the early year. Well done.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

Beernutz-

If you can only find Caddyshack out of that list funny you must be an old timer. Have you seen any of the rest? How is Roadtrip not number one on yours or anyones list? But I'm right there with you, Caddyshack is damn good.

1.) Roadtrip-Haven't seen
2.) Kingpin-Only funny because of Murray
3.) Anger Management-One of the worst movies of all time.
4.) Caddyshack-Classic.
5.) All 3 of the American Pie's-First one, rest sucked, especially Wedding.

Old timer, sheesh, guilty as charged I guess. And yes, unfortunately I've seen all those flicks and I stand my original assertion. Just to be fair I'll give you an opportunity to take a shot at my quickly constructed top 5 list. In no particular order:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Duck Soup
Young Frankenstein
Blazing Saddles
Sleeper

Have at it.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

Beernutz-

To my total amazement I actually havent seen one of your top five movies. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] And I'm a big movie fan. I'm only 21 though and I generally only see what comes out in theaters. I'm guessing most those movies came out awhile ago. I scribbled down that list though and am going to try to get around to see some of them. Mostsmooth named a movie in his top five that I almost included in mine, Super Troopers. If you havent seen that its worth watching.

Classic. nh.

(But isn't it "even" and not "ever"?)

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

anyone who liked this movie should be slapped in the face.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

A whole movie designed around a dork putting on a dance show? No thanks.
This movie was pure hype.

Big Lebowski
Friday
Old School

Asforenotyetmentioned.

Surely you must be joking.

Napoleon Dynamite was indeed Dynamite. I'll admit, you need a certain sense of humor to appreciate it, but the movie is hilarious. Not the top 5 best comedy's of all time, but it could crack the top 10 on a good day.

i don't think you can put it any better than this. i loved it, personally, because it hit my sense of humor. a friend i watched it with hated it and had to leave.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

I agree with another poster who basically stated this movie was marketed/promoted in an odd way. To put it in the same category as movies like Anger Management,Caddyshack, Dodgeball, Old School etc. etc. just doesn't seem right.
Those who enjoyed this movie most certainly are those who posess a very certain type of humor, and probably in their life have at somepoint known somebody who resembles characters in the movie.
I thought the pure awkward/completely foreign lifestyle and dialogue portrayed in the movie was absolutely brilliant, and the only thing in film recently that really rivals the burning satire of the greater Simpsons writers. Even so, I feel the movie is a very satirical documentary more than a comedy. While the characters are hilarious, it's still a depressing look at certain areas and lifestyles in the US. I don't know, it's different that's for sure.
I loved it, one of the most original films I've seen in a while.

All this being said, I totally see how people hate it so much.

JMO.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

my roommate got a Nap Dyn watch as a promo. it was of similar quality to a kids meal watch. when you pressed a button it said "idiot". he sold it on eBay for over $50. people are [censored] stupid.

(i just want to again mention this is one of the worst movies ever. people think its cool because its different. they think that they are supposed to think its cool for whatever reasons. its [censored] not.

Top 5 comedies, the real damn list
 

in no particular order:

old school
clerks
supertroopers
the jerk
happy gilmore


with honorable mentions to billy madison and half baked.

napoleon dynamite was funny as hell, not top 5, but f-ing hilarious. I have a vote for Pedro T-shirt. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]


EDIT: I havent seen harold and kumar or the big lebowski. so they might oust one of the top 5, probably the jerk.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

This movie was a -1 on a scale of one to ten. Really.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

Pure rubbish

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

Big Lebowski is the most overrated movie of all time.

Haven't seen Friday but it looks pretty funny.

Wasn't a huge fan of Old School, but I just don't get Will Ferrell like most people do.

Sorry to pick on your list... I'm just pissed I finally rented Big Lebowski last week after hearing everyone rave about it, and was just looking for an excuse to bitch about it.

2nd guy in the thread to mention Anger Management... it's really that good? I guess I need to rent that.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

Now I have to see it.

I seriously doubt it can touch The Cable Guy or League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in terms of crappiness though.

You need to not rent it. Worst Sandler movie ever, period, and he has made some bad ones.

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

My list:
Dumb n Dumber
Tommy Boy
Kingpin
Stuck on you

I just saw Stuck on You this weekend, and it was surprisingly really funny. Greg Kinnear was born to do comedy like that. I limited my list to 4 cause no other movie does it for me.

I'd like to give a special thumbs down to Dodgeball...it could have been good but the screenplay was just poorly written.

try a little bottle rocket to spice up your life.

if you get bottle rocket, youll get napolean.

you ever take that bike off any sweet jumps?

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

The movie is more than just about a dance scene however...

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

im watching anger management right now, its not noticeably funny

Re: Did you Like Napolean Dynamite?
 

Hystercial movie. It's even funnier afterwards when your quoting the lines from it every day. "What would YOU do in that situation?!"
