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.

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.

Regards,

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.

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.

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.
