If you don't like Napolean's character which is key to enjoying the movie, then your going to absolutly HATe this film.
I saw it and didn't exactly laugh all the way through but I did enjoy it...however it is a movie that when you talk about scenes etc with friends..you grow to like it more and more and enjoy seeing it there after.

This movie made a killing at the box office...it cost like 400,000 and made 42 million in BO alone...not counting the huge DVD numbers. Roadtrip is a classic...if you don't like Roadtrip and hate the Stifler type character etc etc your never going to enjoy this movie.
I've never understood people who dont think Will Ferrell is funny but oh well...I'm just glad I'm not them.

Eat your food TINA!

It's easily the most valuable hour and a 1/2 I won't get back in my life as far as bad movies.

It effing sucked.

Acting was atrociously terrible, the story was dumb, 1/2 the scenes were meaningless.

Only 1 redeemable scene: The guy knocking the guy off the bike with a steak. That was the highlight. yay!

I'm still pissed my bud made me watch it. I'd rather have watched bad home/vacation movies.

I understand why people wouldn't like it, but I think that's more because they don't understand it. It took me a little bit of thinking after I watched it to kinda wrap my head around it.

Great movie.

If you show Napoleon Dynamite to 10 people; 3 will hate it, 3 will love it and 4 will say, "Huh?"

instant cult classic

the more i watch it the funnier it gets.
the first time i didn't quite know how to take it.
i knew it was funny but it is so flat, which in the end makes it funnier to go back and watch.

love it!

cheers,
the Real Macoy

Don't judge it too quickly, let it sit in your brain and swirl for a while and then watch it again. It's great stuff the second time around. It's a type of humor that you really have to be tuned into to get. Some people just won't though. I thought it was hilarious.

Yeah, this is definitely not a movie for everyone. It's a love it or hate it thing. I know people who have a great sense of humor that just didn't get this one. I loved it.

It's pretty simply - your not going to talk someone in to liking this one if they don't. That's just the way it is...
