Napolean Dynamite

[CaptainZombie]

How many have seen this movie?

Some of the characters really crack me up in this movie and I can't believe some of the stuff in here. I laugh so hard everytime I watch it.

I wonder how a sequel would be if they made one.

Re: Napolean Dynamite

i loved the movie, but its tough when everyone tries to reenact that crap and do a piss poor job at it. It kinda got too popular and big for my liking. too mainstream maybe.. kinda turned it into something that its not.

my favorite part is when the uncle throws that meat at napolean on the bike. its probably not meant to be that funny, but its great

I laugh so hard at that part when he grabs the steak from his nephew's plate and throws it at Napolean.

Re: Napolean Dynamite

Well, you either love or hate this movie. I love it though....cracks me up every time I watch it. And while its detractors may say it's just stupid and utterly without point or merit, imo the movie's actually saying a lot about our culture, the way people relate to each other, and what's important in life.

As for that scene with the meat and the bike, I could show it to my wife 100x and she'd still be laughing just as hard the 100th time.

"How much you wanna bet I can throw this football over them mountains...."

Re: Napolean Dynamite

The humor of Napolean Dynamite is completely lost on me. Watched the movie twice, and both times I only laughed when the farmer shot the cow in the head in front of all the elementary school kids. Otherwise, IMO the movie was a waste of my time.

I think the overhype caused me to not want to see it more than before. I never had an interest when it came out. From the looks of it, it just seems dumb.

This movie just really cracks me up. I agree that this movie does say a lot about our culture. The brother just seems so fruity.

Re: Napolean Dynamite

I saw it once and thought it was funny. I could see it again, maybe even two more times but I have no desire to see it more than that.

Re: Napolean Dynamite

I think it requires a smart sense of humor to detect the stupid/ironic things that are done in the movie (i.e. the way everyone tries to act tough, the way the characters dress, interaction between different social groups, etc.)

People who are into poop/fart/boobies/semen/****** humor that is basically force-fed to audiences probably won't like it.

Not saying that anyone who didn't like it is stupid... but it really is a love it or hate it movie. I thought it was funny, because I know people who act like the actors in this movie do. Always trying to act tough, prove something, living in their own world.


And Candyman... I agree with the steak throwing scene being the funniest.
lmao Uncle Rico nailed Napoleon.

Ditto.

And I had never even heard of it until it was in overhype mode and everyone at school was using quotes from it...I'd be like, ".....Huh?"

Re: Napolean Dynamite

Great movie. Things shouldn't be allowed to "get old", as all of my friends say if I bring up the movie again. You loved it once, and there's no reason why you can't love it again. It's not ******** if it once wasn't.

I liked it and thought that it was very funny.

That's the quickest to ruin any movie/TV Show, is for everyone to overquote it.

Examples:
"Alrighty Then"
"Oh my god, you killed Kenny!"
"I'm Rick James, Bitch."
"Show me the money."

Funny movie.

"You serious?"

Kip made me crack up no matter what, his voice was hilarious.
