Screw The Hollywood Reporter.
I've heard nothing but praise for this film and the trailer was great. Napoleon Dynamite is my most anticipated film of the summer.

I almost fell out of my chair laughing the 1st time I saw the trailer a few weeks back. 
I love that guy's delivery.

I would say it's a cross between welcome to the doll house and and.. and... and... Ghost world. It has the beyond strange hickish characters like the gas station beef jerky guy with the doll house story to it.
Good stuff all around.

Though I'll have to say I disagree with Kenny
That title will go to GARDEN STATE.
I predict it'll be the summer's -- if not the year's -- indie cult hit.

That guy seemed pissed at the situation more so than the film itself. That review should be tossed out on that ground alone.

Jackskeleton: ...did you even bother to read to the end of the review...???... the author winds up saying that it's a good, funny, charming movie... I don't think his - actually quite positive - review should be "tossed out" at all - imnsho, of course...

saw it last night. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen, at least in a theatre. I could not stop laughing, esp, during a key scene near the end when
. My stomach hurt afterward. I loved every minute of this movie!

I just saw it and I was a little let down but not too much. It wasn't as rip roaring funny as I thought it would be, but it still had some very funny moments. It also seemed like the crowd I was with didn't get half the shit I did. I mean they laughed a lot but some seems they didn't get stuff like
which had me rolling. It seemed like the crowd was either weirded out or simply didn't think it was all that funny.

and why is it that there are literally two identical threads about this film?? (oh and I personally thought this was completely overrated and I agree with Giantrobo the film was no where as near as a 'rip roaring' as other's feel it to be).
