    Napoleon Dynamite

    Oh my friggin GOD!!!!! Easily the best movie I have seen in a long long time. I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt, I was crying and I had to pause the movie so I could go outside and calm down. The entire movie is so incredibly awkward and dork-ish and bizarre. I mean the kid wears moonboots the entire movie and draws unicorns and shit!!!! I know, it sounds odd and queer and stupid and wicked bizzah and it totally is. I put it up there as an instant classic with the likes of Office Space. On the Vinzclortho 57 star rating system, I give this movie 50 stars.

    Go rent it now, hell just buy it!! I promise it's worth it. Roommate and I rented it last night and I'm going to use the gift card that work gave me to Best Buy to buy this dvd tonight!

    I bought it last week,and coulnd't agree more with you Vinz.

    So many good lines and moments in that flick.

    Don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes, all day. Besides, we both know I'm training to be cage-fighter.

    Yeah! It makes me laugh just thinking about it!!!!!!!!

    "What are you drawing?"
    "A liger. It's a cross between a lion and a tiger and has high-magic using skills."

    The time machine that zaps his balls.

    I think my favorite part is when he's chugging Gatorade, just the way he attacks the bottle had me rolling on the floor.

    "I don't have skills. Like bow hunting skills, or computer hacking skills."

    I spent like three hours working on the shading on your upper lip. Its pretty much the best drawing I've ever done.

    Do the birds have large talons?

    There are alot of gangs in this school. One of them had wanted me to join because of my bo-staff skills.

    How much do you want to bet I could throw this ball over them mountains?

    Uncle Rico is pretty awesome. The whole flick just kills me.

    "but my lips hurt real bad!"

    Heck Yes. This movie is one of the best EVER!!! I saw it in the theater and laughed so hard I was afraid people would stare at me and then they would kick me out. My friends and I quote it all the time.

    "go find your own tots"

    I'm going to have to agree with Vinz and the gatoraid being probably the best part.

    close for second is when Kip runs over the tupaware (sp?) thing in the van, and then jsut runs off.


    Bwwhaaaahhahahahahah!!!

    thank you guys for posting this...and for the overwhelming response. I kind of wanted to buy the movie, as it looks really funny, but never saw it in the theaters and for some reason don't like renting a movie and then going to buy it.

    Anyway, looks like Best Buy will be getting a visit from me tomorrow

    there is no way anyone one could know that napolean.


    anyway, Filmed right here in my neck of the woods, and honestly it gave a pretty clear picture of what life is really like in good old preston Idaho. perhaps the most qoutable movie ever among the likes of Dumb and dumber and office space.

    I grew up about an hour from there myself. Great flick. We went to see this in the theaters with one of my cousins in Denver. She too is from the same small town in Northern UT my wife and I are from. On the way out she said: "That movie was so true, I bet you guys can even name the guy who was like Napolean Dynamite from your class."....my wife went kind-of quiet at that point and then finally said: "yep, it was _____ _____."The name she mentioned was another one of our cousins. It was pretty hilarious and accurate.

    "Tina come get your ham"

    "I forgot the crystals."

    "I'm training to be a cage fighter."

    Uncle Rico pulls boat from tupperware box, WT Lady: "I want that."

    "Try tearing this tupperwear."

    they actually had ligers a few miles up the road from Preston in the Lava Hot Springs area. They escaped in 1995 along with some lions and hybrid wolves. Caused some minor commotion.

    I'm also now a huge fan of when Kip and Napoleon are testing Kip's reflexes and the doorbell rings. Napoleon friggin WHACKS Kip upside the head. It's sweet.

    "what are you going to do today Napoleon?"
    "Whatever I feel like! GOD!"


    I caught Kip's mumblings, some poem he's saying while typing in a chat room meeting or something. Good stuff.
    thats new hampshire as fuck

    Napoleon to Pedro: how long did it take you to grow that moustache?

    Great line, he actually lives in Springville, Utah...about 5 minutes from my house. Some buddies of mine saw him at Red Robin in Provo a couple months back, said he had like 5 hot chicks asking for his autograph...LUCKY! This movie is very true to life for a lot of Utahns.
    oh so i guess i'm the asshole!

    OK, I just watched the movie and thought it was pretty mediocre. Yeah, I laughed at a couple scenes, but it just didn't do much for me. If you want a movie about a nerd that's actually somewhat entertaining watch Welcome to the Dollhouse.

    AD I think you have to take it with a grain of salt.

    More specifically, a whole bunch of beers.

    I mean c'mon...the farmer shooting the cow...the uncle throwing the steak...the skit...

    I just watched it last night, and I was LMAO all night long.

    Well, yes you do, but it's difficult to like a movie where all the characters are so unlikeable. I guess I'm more a fan of the movies featuring likeable nerds like Sixteen Candles or Revenge of the Nerds. And speaking of those movies, weren't you a little disappointed ND had to follow the tired formula that the nerds finally get their day in the sun? It just didn't seem to fit the movie.

    Thumbs up

    Hmmmm....I'm not going to argue with an engineer over how best to properly portray nerds on the big screen. You guys have got that science down to an art...

    Just watched twice over the weekend ... got to get a copy and watch it w herbs some night along with true stories thet talking heads movie..

    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.
    Napoleon Dynamite: Since when, Kip? You have the worst reflexes of all time.
    Kip: Try and hit me, Napoleon.
    Napoleon Dynamite: What?
    Kip: I said come down here and see what happens if you try and hit me.



    Uncle Rico: So what do you think?
    Kip: It's pretty cool, I guess.
    Uncle Rico: Ohhhh, man I wish I could go back in time. I'd take state.
    Napoleon Dynamite: This is pretty much the worst video ever made.
    Kip: Napoleon, like anyone can even know that.
    Uncle Rico: You know what, Napoleon? You can leave.
    Napoleon Dynamite: You guys are retarded!


    Napoleon Dynamite: [referring to Deb's milk] I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.

    ( that was just so painfully funny to watch)

    I'm Rex, founder of the Rex Kwan Do self-defense system! After one week with me in my dojo, you'll be prepared to defend yourself with the strength of a grizzly, the reflexes of a puma, and the wisdom of a man.

    You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills... Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.

    Pedro offers you his protection.


    Uncle Rico: We also need someway to make us look official, like we got all the answers.
    Kip: How bout some gold bracelets?
