I saw this last night and it made me laugh.

What's everyone else think?

This was great, though plotless... :lol: It was absolutely randomly hilarious. My brother and I have worlds of fun quoting some of the lines from the movie...

"Whatever I feel like, God!"

:lol:

One of the worst ever. So vastly overrated that it's shocking. I think I laughed twice, and I don't remember why. It just seemed like a movie intended for kids to steal one liners from. If I hear 'get your own tots' one more time, Wayne Brady may have to choke a bitch.

It's perhaps the oddest movie I've ever seen...probably because we, as a society, have become sheeps to the typical hollywood movie structure. When movies defy that structure, I normally find the movie to be quite quality. Memento and Fight Club are two that come to mind that fit that defiance of the typical Hollywood structure. Napoleon Dynomite is a movie that does that. Though, it is far beyond either of those two movies when it comes to just how odd the movie is.

I laughed quite a bit, and the dance scene is genius. I will be buying this movie when it comes out on DVD

Great movie. Weird, but great. They all talked like we used to as kids in the 80's. I think that's why it was so funny.

did you not know people like those characters in high school? because if you didn't then you missed out on a lot of real life humor as well

i just watched this movie tonite, and its fucking brilliant in a The God's Must Be Crazy kind of way.

the funnier moments was when he threw summers pin down the hallway, the time machine, the brother dressed all hiphop and the 90 foot telephone cord

and pedro looked strangely enough like dave grohl
