Napoleon Dynamite: My Least Favorite Movie Ever
There is hardly anything that I found funny in this movie, and nothing that wasn't a cheap attempt to get laughter. I only laughed at two parts. I found the movie Signs to be more humorous than this movie. Of course, what someone finds funny depends on their character, so there are some "special" people who think it's the funniest movie they've ever seen in their lives.
Secondly, Napoleon Dynamite contains some of the cheesiest characters I've ever seen in my life. From Napoleon, to Kip, to their uncle, to Pedro, to that liger thing, and every other noun in that movie. The liger, a cross between a loin and a tiger, is gayer than the Jackalope (featured in the Incredibles, in the bonus section). Not only are the characters, or anything in that movie, cheesy, but the storyline is horrid. The storyline was probably intended to be the script for an episode of a new sitcom on NBC, but was stolen, made into a shitty independent film, and stretched out to 82 minutes. The storyline failed to keep me interested at all. Not even hope of the movie developing in a storyline kept me interested. The only thing that kept me interested was that I paid money to see it on PayPerView (which was a bad choice).
The worst thing, however, was the amount of praise it got. Not only are there stupid 12 year olds loving this stuff, but people of all ages, which is proof that the media is literally making us retarded. Not only did it receive support from million of people, but enough to actually create a clothing line with a shirt for nearly every lame phrase ever said in the movie.
It won the following awards:
Golden Satellite Award (Best Original Score)
Golden Trailer (Best Comedy)
MTV Movie Award (Best Movie, Best Musical Performance [for the election dance], and Breakthrough Male (Jon Heder)
Teen Choice Award/Proof that teens shouldn't vote (Choice Movie Breakout Performance, Choice Movie Dance Scene, Choice Movie Hissy Fit, Choice Movie: Comedy)
Film Discovery Jury Award (Best Feature)

Post a CommentCan't agree more . . it is the most god aweful piece of rubbish I ever had the misfortune to see . . there is a whole generation out there that love it (are retarded),
it is without a doubt one of the WORST movies i have ever seen. i really wanted to watch it because there was such a big hype about it and i know loads of people who find it hilariously funny. when i watched it i was just waiting for something funny to happen throughout the film... that never happened. i would only reccomend this film to people who don't mind wasting a hour and half of their lives.
It's not funny, and it's not clever! "Comedy" for the brain-dead.
its one of my favourite movies
Wow, I'm "special" lol. Just wait for my flippin review, it should be published soon...
Napoleon Dynamite is one of the best movies ever made. Not relying on the typical humor based on sex, pop culture or politics. Who hasn't met someone just like Napoleon? The idea that his life is as entertaining to watch as any big moview star is what makes this film so great.
I actually thought this movie was awesome. I liked the subtle humor--the subtle nuances of rural suburban life--and the completely idiotic situations. I think the blandness of the film is what makes it so funny. It's also great BECAUSE kids and adults can watch it. No profanity, violence, or sex... That's rare!
