Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

hassanmh-54702 Well, it's not that type of movie that will make you laugh. Because it has not been made in that way.

victiminvesta Ppl who give this flick high stars - "what is wrong with you, you fricking IDIOTS, GOSH!". The movie : a bunch of dopey idiots doing completely random and idiotic things in some Kafkaesque rural town in Idaho brought to you by high school drama club. Movie is made in 2004, and school ID implies 2004, but it feels like the movie is set in 80s, with Kip spending time chatting in a computer which kind of places it in the 90s. I guess the props obtained from Goodwill or garage sale lend themselves to anachronisms. Want to watch a "cult flick"? Watch "Ghost town" or "Clerks".

benjaminburt Napoleon Dynamite is so unpretentious, so simple, and so funny that I would consider it one of the greatest comedies of all time. As a disclaimer, I would definitely say that it's not for everyone. It's basically a really goofy comedy that tries to immerse the viewer in its odd little world, and plays the ridiculous characters off of the straight-man background.Napoleon Dynamite has undeniable staying power, and its fans will keep coming back to it year after year. That's what sets this movie apart for me: it resonates with its audience. Forget its quotability, its fun, and its enjoyment, Napoleon Dynamite tapped into the soul of its audience, both the losers and the popular kids, but especially those who felt like they didn't have any clue what they were doing with their young lives as well as those who felt that way growing up. If you go into thinking that it's a character study who is going to make a journey or this, that, or the other thing, you're going to be disappointed. Take it as it is: a simple comedy about a simple person and his ridiculous life.

aemilg Almost as good as the film are the one star reviews! My wife and I laughed our butts off reading the reviews written by people who haven't a clue! In our lives, we were Napoleon and Deb. Actually, both of us are a composite of all these very realistically portrayed high school kids. The jerks who mocked and bullied Napoleon, are the same jerks who write these one star reviews! This is such a real life depiction of what high school is like for the majority of us. It is a time of life when social acceptance is so important. We were never a part of the social scene at high school. We were the outcasts who were mocked and ridiculed and shunned. Neither of us had a date. We never went to a dance like Napoleon and Deb did because it was only a place where we would undergo more mockery, more bullying, more shaming and more ostracization. Seeing Napoleon and Deb at the dance is very romantic for us. We wish we could have had the opportunity to have met at that age. In reality, if a Napoleon and a Deb WERE to go to a dance at high school, they would be laughed out of the building. I don't know if the video that Netflix sends out has the extra features with the filmmakers commentary. If it does, watch the film while listening to the commentary. The film has many events from his life. Perhaps that is part of the reason why some people find the film silly and stupid and boring. They simply cannot identify with a lifestyle in a rural, mostly Mormon, mostly white, mostly conservative community where there are no strip clubs, no prostitutes walking the streets, no night life and no big city trappings whatsoever. Most of the people in this community are close knit families who teach their children morals and values and the kids, for the most part, are really good kids who really are quite different from their more sophisticated, streetwise, jaded counterparts from the big city. The kids do actually get in trouble, but it's for things like Napoleon does at the beginning of the film; dragging a He-Man Action Figure on a string behind the school bus, an actual event in the filmmakers life. If you understand more of where he's coming from, the film makes much more sense and you can appreciate it so much more. We love Napoleon. We identify with him. He's a good kid. Yes, he's awkward, has bad hair, is socially inept, is given to great flights of fancy and he doesn't quite fit in with his superior intelligence and his poor judgment in displaying that superior intellect around a bunch of idiots who look down on him.I love his guts and his total lack of pretense. He is who he is and he has a few moments of glory as he wows the kids with a totally awesome dance routine in a campaign rally supporting his pal Pedro in his successful bid for Student Body President! This is part real life and part fantasy and 100% Ten Stars for a really good movie that is really relevant for a lot of good people who were not in the social elite as kids. And that means most of us.The bad reviews? Go ahead and read them, especially if you love this film! It gives YOU a chance to laugh at the jackasses who laughed at you when you were a kid! It's really fun! They are showing how stupid they are and you can laugh at THEM! Enjoy! Seriously, you can understand the mindset of persons giving Napoleon Dynamite a bad review. It's the same mindset as the Beavis and Butthead types who would give Casablanca, Gone With The Wind or Citizen Kane a one star review! Totally laughable!
