okay, i started to watch this movie this weekend, and i just did not get into it at all.
in fact, it completely baffeld me, probably in the same way "Clerks" baffled people.
so people who are fans of this movie/character...what's the deal?

Clerks was a weird film that was more of a slacker portrait and generational commentary than it was a story-based movie.
i was thinking that napolean dynomite may be that same sort of thing portrait/commentary for this generation and that is why i did not quite get it?
or am i reading way too much into a really fucking stupid movie?

someone told me that it was more or less for kids who were the un-cool/nerds growing up... i have no idea if this is true or not, and im not trying to be an asshole... it's just what i was told... if that helps any

It's really not that funny. A trend with teenage kids these days is to take things that are mediocre at best and make them seem excellent, and then to quote them to death and buy all the merchandise that they can. Lord knows they don't have the taste to appreciate things that are actually worth talking about.
