ABSOLUTELY NOT...i fucking hated this movie. not funny, but i do give credit to the filming and the low-bugdet. it was well-produced and all, but i am rather upset we paid $15 for the DVD. i'd rather use it for a coaster. i like my movies to progress at speed and this one was entirely too slow and boring.

i gave it a one because that's the lowest there was.

^^^ya, i was dying on the dance scene.

"Friggen IDIOT! Goooosh!"

I seriously loved this movie and laughed my ass off- reviews seem to be hit or miss- you either love it or hate it. I thought it was one of the funniest movies ever- andnot because they were trying to be funny, just because the costumes and just the actors mannerisms are hilarious.

i'm gonna merge this with the original napoleon thread, because whilst a specific non-filmic (but related) discussion might warrant its own thread, i can't see this doing so. hope that's cool

Honestly this kind of movie never really did much for me in the past but this one had me laughing so much.

I gave it a 3. Like mentioned, it wasn't life changing but the dorks were SO dead on with everything . I just couldn't believe these people were acting.

Loved it.

I thought the ending was just a little too glib. Call me a cynic, but I feel that in real life Summer would have won, and they would have laughed the poor guy offstage

i have to totally agree. whats hillarious about this movie is how tragically accurate it is. i can think of several people i went to school with who reminded me of napoleon, not just misfits but hostile quasi aggressive social square pegs.

i laughed consistently throughout this movie. napoleons tshirts were a real delight :D best movie ever seen? nah. funniest? not even close. def a winner though

I haven't seen this movie, but almost EVERYONE I work with is obsessed with it. They all think its the funniest movie of all time, and are constantly quoting the funny parts. I feel so left out lol. But, I generally cannot stand stupid funny plotless movies... so I don't know that I'd even waste my time watching it. Besides, I've heard all the funny parts because they are always quoting the movie.

I think this is one of the best movies I've seen in years.

I loved this movie, every last second of it. I think it DOES deserve a 4. It was pieced together perfectly, every scene was shot, scripted, and acted perfectly for the what movie was trying to accomplish.

I rented this movie right when it came out on DVD, and ended up purchasing it the day after. I have probably watched it a dozen times since Christmas.

I loved it. Geeeeeez.

I gotta say... not that funny. I guess I'm too old for high school comedy.

I liked the Llama though.

Nah Web, I thought it was pretty retarded too.

I haven't read any of this thread, but I have to say that I hated the shit out of this movie. I just thought it was plain dumb. I tried to watch it twice and ended up getting very easily distracted and missing some parts both times. The characters were just really boring to me. The only part of the movie that I liked was Pedro's cousins, who are in the movie for like 30 seconds. That's just about the only part I really laughed during, and the Rex Kwon Do. And Napoleons yo boy brother was pretty funny. Other than that, I was thoroughly bored the whole time.

i liked it. it was quirky and very dry. kinda like my last girlfriend. ba-dum-ching. seriously though, it was an original piece and i don't think it was intended to be "fall out of your seat" hilarious. good character development and good writing. i gave it three stars.

OMG...Nap is one of my fav charachters ever after seeing this movie. There are so many hilarious scenes in this movie, but my favorite is when Uncle Rico hits Nap in the face with Kip's steak. F'ing great, man.

I give it 4 stars.
