I don’t care for this movie, even though pretty much everyone else I know loves it
Gosh pit, though, is hilarious
I’m with you on both counts.
First time I saw this movie I didn’t get it. On rewatch I liked it, and over the years I feel like I’ve come to appreciate it more and more. Dunno what it is about it, I don’t really enjoy any other movies like it.
It sucked back then and I cannot imagine it aged well
You’re named Borat bro…
That’s the movie that someone shown me saying “It’s hilarious, funniest shit I’ve ever seen”, then I sown my friends and no one enjoyed it…
Unironically, someone asked me if this was a “home movie”.
Even at the time it was polarizing. And yeah it basically was filmed in the style of a home movie. Movie cost 400,000 to make and made almost 50 million as a fun fact
I laughed slightly at it when it was on TV and it made an aunt thing it would be a good Christmas present
I remember seeing it when it made it to DVD at some point and not making it all the way through the movie due to not enjoying it. I never tried to rewatch it after the fact.
It’s more a group movie.
What was that movie about? All I remember is there was no swearing
Seemed more a slice of life type of movie.
There is a bit of hero’s journey narrative in it. A loser with nothing goes on a quest to win the class presidency or whatever. Even rides towards the sun set on a white horse with the girl at the end if I recall correctly.
Definitely feels like if a super devout Mormon tried to make an homage to Gummo. I couldn’t stand Napoleon Dynamite on release, and still can’t.
It’s kinda weird and boring and the characters are quirky enough to be funny but also relatable in a vaguely nostalgic, innocence of mid teens kinda way. No one is good or bad and the climax is Napoleon dancing in front of the whole school so his friend wins the student council vote. And then everyone clapped.
It’s like the Big Lebowski, where the absurdity gets funnier with each watch. Definitely fun to rewatch with friends when you see the jokes coming.
Eat the food, Tina
Thanks for the refresher. I think I recall Pedro running for class president or something. I’d totally rewatch it with friends if I had any.
Everyone has “that movie” they’re kind of ashamed to admit they’ve never watched. The Big Lebowski is that movie for me. I know I really need to make time for it one of these centuries…
Such an amazing movie, still.
Frickin’ sweet
Just realized I have never seen this movie baked, might have to give that a shot sometime
