Anyone wanting to see this?

...erm... don't think so...

. . . :o . . .

Saw it at SXSW in March. It's hilarious. I predict it'll be the summer's -- if not the year's -- indie cult hit.

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. :up: I love that guy's delivery.

Saw it aswell a bit back. It's entertaining and is indeed very "indie"

I'm not even sure what The Hollywood Reporter article was trying to say. Very middle of the road.

definitely, its on my movies to see list I keep

I've watched the trailer about 15 times...this is one of my most anticipated movies of the year... looks like pure gold.

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.

...well, mebbe so (stranger things have happened)...

. . . :o . . .

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...

. . . :o . . .

wh.....at's........... with ........ all ...... the ........ dots?

I stopped reading after he stated how the evil empire of fox searchlight.... spent.... millions... to... only.... do.................................................................................................. standard.........................................................................................!!! !................................................... security............................... $*#....... like .....................................wow.... . . .. - .- .-...--- .- .- .-. - his -. -.-.-.--.-/-.-.- review style !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sucks ..-..-.---.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--... .-.- --. .-- :o :o "The film often seems like an "SNL" skit that goes on for 80 minutes" :o :o :o ......... that line alone made me close the window...-.-.-.,.><><>

:p :) :D :( :mad:

Perhaps my Hendrik like post helped make it clearer.

AHA!!! So you didn't bother to read through to the end of the review! I thought so! Shame on you then for saying the review deserves to be "tossed out" without actually reading it!!!

...and, btw, I never use more than three (3) dots at a time - and never in the middle of a word...

. . . :o . . .

Thanks to Natalie Portman stalkers. ;)

The official website is alot of fun too, info on screenings also.

I'm looking forward to it.

Looks interesting.

This sounds like the coolest idea ever. Other than a Liger of course :)

Napoleon Dynamite Gets Five Extra Minutes

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).

It sucked to be honest. Had a good last 15 minutes, but everything before that was lifeless and frankly, stupid. I loved the trailer though. . .:(
