While I was in the States I noticed strange behavior from my daughter and my brother. My daughter would out of nowhere say, "GOSH", in a weird voice and my brother would look at her and say,"You idiot!" Then, they would both snicker and go on about their business. I finally asked them what the heck was wrong with them and they looked at me like I had just crawled out from under a rock and exclaimed in unison, "You've never seen Napoleon Dynamite?!?!"

The next day my daughter rented the movie. She and my brother gave me pre-viewing instructions. They said the movie is just stupid, totally stupid. They said just keep watching it and don't expect anything out of it. I was like, ummm okay, this is a weird review of a movie that they both obviously loved, but I did as I was told and just watched it.

I LOVED it! I rolled laughing through most of the movie. My all time favorite line is - "You're just jealous 'cause I've been chatting with hot babes online all day."

The movie also explained something we saw in NYC. My husband asked me, "Why are all these 'Vote for Pedro' shirts everywhere? Who's Pedro?" I told him that I didn't have a clue who it was, it must be some New York politician. LOL!

I kept looking at the girl in this movie wondering where I had seen her before. She was Ray Liotta's little daughter in that terrible "Corrina, Corrina" a few years back.

My nephew Jackson does a perfect imitation of Kip.
I think the movie is quite funny. The best part is that Napoleon likes Napoleon.
I almost had an unfortunate "cola-outta-the-nose" incident when he was talking to the girl about the picture he drew of her.

I just now got though watching it. I agree with my grand daughter, it was thoroughly entertaining.

I watched the movie last night on one of the On Demand channels and I just don't get the fascination with Napoleon. To me it was just an okay movie. JMHO

Twinkie, I felt the same way after the first time I saw it. But then I found myself laughing at some of the things I thought were just silly the first time, and now I've come to like it very much.

Yeah, when I first saw this movie, I couldn't even watch it to the end because I thought it was so totally stupid.

But then I caught it on a movie channel late one night and watched it. The second time around, I found the movie to be quite endearing as well as funny.

Hubby says its one of those movies that you either love it or hate it. It just left me going "eh".
