1. About damn time someone else around here liked it
Though I didn't like it until my second viewing. Damn funny movie though.

2. I confessed my love of the movie to a co-worker
and she said she thought it sucked but that her daughter loves it and is constantly quoting it. I don't know it well enough to quote but it's a cute movie. I mean c'mon, Napoleon is a geek, what is there not to like?

5. Absolutely. I think it will stand the test of time
that Ferris Bueller and Breakfast Club have.

8. I think it's hilarious
but I think some people get put off by the fact that it's so hyped. People keep hearing how funny it is from people who have seen it half a dozen times. They watch the movie and think it's okay but aren't thrilled. I think it's much better upon repeat viewings and with a few friends over too. My two cents...for what it's worth.

....and my other recent fave is Bad Santa :) ND is an original, and you can almost never say that about any new movie any more. In fact, it's about time for my mom to watch it :)

9. Bad Santa ROCKS! I watched that with my nephew
and almost wet my pants I was laughing so hard. I love the dwarf! I'm laughing just thinking about that movie! I hope they don't ruin Napoleon Dynamite by doing a sequel. What made it good is that it was unique and to franchise it will just make it another movie.

10. My two cents again...
Bad Santa made me wanna kill myself. What a depressing movie. God everyone is just completely despicable and unlikable. Sorry to be a party pooper.

11. There is more than one way..
.... to look at these characters. As pathetic, awful people - or as fallen angels looking to get back to the nearest cloud. For certain, the dwarf's wife was beyond redemption. :)

12. But at the end the kid gets up the courage to stand up
for himself and that may have never happened without the help from Billy Bob Thornton.

15. Who could forget this great exchange:
Santa: "I think I've turned a corner" Dwaft: "What, you're fucking petites now?" Side splitting :)

14. I thought it was very different, and entertaining!
I can't really say why. They were just goofs! Vote for Pedro!
