Napoleon Dynamite

I have a friend who would always quote from this movie, not to mention how many times she would answer someone or something with the word "Gosh" in exactly the same tone as Nopoleon Dynamite did. So I thought I better watch it and see what all the fuss was about.

So, it's about a nerd, Napolean Dynamite, who becomes friends with the new kid and helps him to win class president.

I didn't enjoy it much at all. I found it boring, with nothing much happening throughout the movie. Movies are supposed to have a climax point, where they get to the main part of the movie, and after that the movie winds down, but with this film, the movie was the same all the way through. It didn't have any ups or downs.

There was only one good thing about this entire movie: Napolean Dynamite's dancing ...

Freaking cool.

Not a big fan of nerd's flicks. So, I had to have patience until see if had something special this one. Great I waited. Napoleon is so freaking idiot that I ended loving him. The director did an awsome job, filmming some shoots that seemed from another movie. Although, I don't know if I'm going for nacho libre. My patience has limits.

I weep for society

Back in high school I had to have surgery on my foot to remove an infected and ingrown toenail on my big toe.

I would have gladly had that procedure done on all of my remaining 9 toes than sit through this movie. I didnt' see it in theatres (thank god!), but after hearing all of this positive word of mouth I rented it one summer. After about 20 minutes I wanted to turn it off, but I felt I owed it to myself (and my $4 rental fee) to watch it all.

Again....surgery.....much better.

Incredibly over-rated movie for a story that goes nowhere, tells you nothing; and isn't even in the least bit entertaining.
