    Default Napoleon Dynamite is over-rated and not that funny

    This thread is to educate all you heathens who think that this movie is hilarious and the second coming of Christ for some reason.

    That is all.

    I never saw it.

    And just from the way people were quoting it all the time made me dislike it.

    I personally think it's a really funny movie. I don't quote it insanely, because that kills it, but I get in a few of the more obscure quotes every so often when I see fit. Particularly Holy Chips. You have to be an insane fan to get that. Or at least, watch the deleted scenes. Heathen'd!

    I think it's pretty funny. Definitly overrated, but funny all the same.

    I agree with TheAbominatrix. I enjoyed the movie. I've only seen it once, probably won't see it again, but I enjoyed it. I do think some people rate it too highly and definitley go overboard with the quotes and whatnot.

    I liked it a lot. It might just be overrated, yeah, but I think it IS that funny! Hahaha. I've been wanting to watch it again, lately. This thread has inspired me to go to Blockbuster!

    The amount of people who quoted that movie, from previews and again after its release, instilled in me a burning hatred that will probably never die. I don't want to ever see that movie, and just hearing anything about it makes me cringe. From what I've heard, I don't think much of the humor would appeal to me anyway.

    I've heard it quoted and seen clips of Napoleon dancing/going over that ramp so many times, that by the time I actually watched it, I knew all the jokes and didn't find it funny. It's not funny if you quote it out of context anyway.

    I guess I was lucky in that I didn't really know anything about the movie and hadn't heard any quotes or anything when I watched it.

    I watched it to see why it was so popular and I never stopped hearing about it and seeing "VOTE FOR PEDRO" shirts...what did I get? A boring, plotless, empty movie that didn't make me so much as crack a smile once.

    The only charm that movie had at all, in my opinion, was the dance scene during the school president assembly. Other than that it was crap.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Over-rated...hell yeah. Not funny-hell no. I liked the movie only due to the fact that I was never hyped up by anyone to see the damn flick. It was on one day and I saw it, thought it was a good way to pass an hour and forty-five minutes...and that's about it. :/ Btw Flying Mullet is under-rated and contrary to popular belief...freaking hilarious. ;P
