Hello, fellow aging millennials.

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”.
Don’t feel too bad. The movie is a bit infamous for being tricky to recommend. I got it recommended to me and absolutely loved it.
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
Thats genuinely tragic, I’m sorry
When I was young my hair was longer and it poofed out. Add to that glasses and me being awkward and a bunch of people would call me napoleon dynamite. Definitely contributed to me not liking it that much.
You should have embraced the heck out of that.

I’ve had that with Crippled Masters.
I laughed slightly at it when it was on TV and it made an aunt thing it would be a good Christmas present
I rewatched it a few years ago. Didn’t much care for it. But remember when it first came out (I was around 20 at the time) and liked it.
On a side note; I totally owned the Huffy Sledgehammer bike just like the one in the movie. I had gotten it when I was around 13 years old. I got it out of grandma and grandpa’s garage and sold it on Craigslist for $100, when it should have been worth like $25.
Also, yes. I did take it on some pretty sweet jumps.
Frickin’ sweet
Just realized I have never seen this movie baked, might have to give that a shot sometime
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.
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.

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…
The dude abides
He was somebody that was rising the ranks of competitive grocery bagging but then he broke his hand
No that was employee of the month. Hes thinking of the one with Justin Long as a side character waiting tables during the day and partying at night.
A master of Karate
and friendship
for everyone
Just watched it again yesterday, after a lot of years, without knowing this
It was a good one.

I first watched this with a bunch of friends and I was the only one laughing. The more I watch it the funnier it gets.
Apparently there’s a sequel in the works
Napoleon Dynadidn’t
Damn. Sadness setting in, time passing by while I’m standing still, age progessing too fast to notice. Am old now, wut do?
It sucked back then and I cannot imagine it aged well
