Just saw "Napoleon Dynamite"
OK, not really, but since I live in Idaho, I just looked out my window.

Actually saw it several months ago.

2. I guess it depends on your sense of humor
I live in a much prettier part of Idaho than the part in which the movie was filmed. So I got that goin' for me.

I thought the movie was OK. Some of my friends love it. However, it has turned out to be quite quotable. Sadly, my wife does a better Napoleon than I do, but she does all impressions better than I do.

4. I've heard...
I've heard that it's funnier after you've watched it a couple of times.

6. I think it'd be really funny after two glasses of red wine...

Of course, everything's funnier after two glasses of red wine!

But yes, I'm sure I missed alot when we saw because we were all laughing!

5. I loved it. I think it's funny that it's so popular
with teenagers today. By the dialogue and clothing you can tell it was written by someone who went to high school the same time I did (way back in the 80s GASP). Even though there are modern touches, so much of it really resonates with 30-somethings.

I've seen it three times and I laugh more every time.
