WWAW Napoleon Dynamite

[not that Jack Horner]

That movie still holds up

Uncle Rico rules

 

[Patrick O'Neal]

An American highschool movie that doesn't stink.

 

[Cuphead]

It rules. I even enjoyed the short lived animated series

That movie was unique, creative, and didn't try too hard. Maybe the first movie I remember being a hit that wasn't in theaters.

Comparing it with the complete over saturation of on screen entertainment today makes it look way better too.

An enjoyable movie. I was still in High School when it came out and 1 of the 15 or so white students in my class looked just like him when he put on the wig. Nigga ended up becoming the focus of our senior video.

i think its one of the best movies that captured living in a rural highschool with mexican migrants

That Mormon and his wife who made it had exactly one good movie in them.

Nacho Libre is great, so i’d say two good movies



in a lot of ways nacho libre is better than Napoleon dynamite

I always loved this movie. They made it funny with out having to go the R-rated route, thats hard to do in movies these days (or 20 years ago when this came out).

This movie always had a live action Beavis and Butthead feel to it. I think I watched the 1st ep of the cartoon, but didn't like ??

 

[Carl Winslow]

The "your mom went to college" part still makes me laugh.

Every once in a while ill rewatch the farm scene and him counting his payment in coins.

“6 dollars..thats like a dollar an hour!”

 

[DiarrheaDick]

Haven't watched it in years but it seems to hold up as long as the retarded fans who quote everything from it aren't around to RUIN it. I was literally just thinking of the scene randomly this morning when the incoherent old man was about to dispatch a cow or a horse next to a school bus loaded with kids and how much of hilariously hard time he was actually having loading a single shell, closing the breach, almost needing two hands to cock it, just to quickly and perfectly mount it before the screaming starts.

Uncle Rico is fawkin awesome too.

This is exactly what makes it good. Making a movie for teenagers that's funny without being dirty or mean is a real challenge. They manage to capture the awkwardness of that stage of life that's resolved without overt sex, cruelty, or some implausible prank. I always took it as a signal that people like Napoleon, Deb, and Pedro are odd, but content, and their experience is more widespread than the popular kids, which is why they win the election. They win by leaning into what makes them weird, not pretending to be like Summer. I gotta rewatch it, haven't seen it since it first came out.

 

[JesseTheGovernor]

It’s a good comedy. Uncle Rico hucking a steak at Napoleon and Diedrich Bader doing the Rex Kwon Do shit were always up there as my fav parts of it. I knew quite a few Rex types in my day. I haven’t seen it in years though.

"y'all folx slept on Napoleon Dynamite and never deserved it to begin with" - Fat Faggot most likely.
