I'd like to see it but unfortunantly I'm broke so now so I'll wait for it to hit Blockbuster.

Napoleon Dynamite really captures what it's like to be a total dork in school. In a world of his own for sure, but he's a likeable guy. Seriously though, this movie had me smiling the whole way through. The funniest scene that had me really cracking up with tears was the first time I saw Napoleon stick that time machine control between his legs. Holy crap that was funny. Got the dvd. Of course, it's an acquired taste, since a few of the people I saw it with didn't get the film, or the jokes. Their loss. I heard a rumor about a sequel, but would it work?

Definately a GREAT COMEDY!

Unfortunately...the humor is sooooo dry that if you do not have a light heart and good sense of humor, you will not appreciate this movie at all. I know my wife didn't. Heck she barely got half the stuff that was intentionally funny in the movie...I guess some people just don't get it.

edit: dang did I just rant on my own Wife...? nice...

Ack! Double-posting.

I saw it. It was funny. It's been a long time since I saw a good movie that did NOT have profanity and sex.

I just saw it on HBO. Some things were pretty funny. The part when the uncle throws the steak at Napoleon...

The movie itself was only so so.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Yeah, the steak toss was funny. I like the scene with the "Time Machine" that juices Napoleon while his brother looks on. Just thinking about the fact they ordered a time machine online and actually thought it could work is funny.

Napoleon Dynamite was highly overrated. It had no plot whatsoever until the last ten minutes of the movie. I found it bland and boring.

The only thing that's good about it is the fact that my friends and I like to turn down the volume (all the way) and dub the voices in ourselves. Then it's funny.

I have a pretty good sense of humor, and I find a lot of things funny, I just don't find most of this movie terribly funny. I get that he's supposed to be a huge dork, and I personally was a dork in a lot of ways in high school. I just didn't find most of the movie to be funny. There were some moments that made me laugh (like the time machine), but overall it was okay at best. I was more impressed with the sound design than the actual story.

I found it bland and boring. His dorkiness was not funny, it was idiotic. It had no plot, as I said. It didn't impress me.

I couldnt get into it either, overhyped

I see now that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevent. It is wat you do with the gift of life that makes you who you are.

Nacho Libre starring Jack Black was directed by the same guy who wrote NDynamite. I saw it. The first 20 minutes were slow, but then it started to get funny in a Napoleon Dynamite kinda way. If you didn't laugh from ND, stay away from NL. Very dry, character based dead pan humor. The humor saved the somewhat dull story.
