Don't be an idiot! This movie was hilarious, GOSH!!! A lot of people thought that this movie was a disappointment and had no meaning to it. Clearly this movie has a meaning to it. It's about a guy who gets picked on in high school every day of his life and still decides to live his life no matter how hard things get. When things are as worse as they can get for ND, it seems as if he knows that things can only go up. Some people say that this movie sucked because this movie was a low budget film, it took only 22 days to shoot, it seems as if it jumps from timeline to timeline or that it has dead humor. Some of the best movies of all time were low budget and took little time to make. And there are some movies that cost over 100 million dollars to make that weren't even good. The movie does sort of seem like it jumps back and forth from the eighties to the nineties. The movie does use songs from the eighties and fashion that you would've probably recognized from a John Hughes film. But, not everything in the movie represents something from the eighties though. Napoleon does have wierd clothes but I would be pretty sure that they would be clothes that the nerdy guy in school would wear. His best friend Pedro comes from the south, where Latino culture is well known and represented. His clothes are pretty much up to date for being where he is from. How many people down south don't wear jeans and cowboy boots? Then there is ND's friend, Deb. She's her own fashion designer which would pretty much explain how she dresses during most of the movie. Last but not least, ND's Uncle Rico. Rico is a guy, in about his forties, who is pretty much stuck in 1982 and wishes that he had the chance to back in time to change his future. Come on, how many people have wanted to do that? He does dress in eighties attire, only because he thinks he still there. Let's face it folks, comedy is the genre where Hollywood needs help. We have horror and action films galore. Sometimes I ask myself, how can we have a comedy with so little comedic talent. We do have some funny people on the big screen, but we're seeing less and less of the people that can still make us laugh harder than anyone on the big screen now. Jamie Fox and Jim Carey are playing more serious roles, Chapelle is making a really big impact on his tv show but it would be great to have him back on the big screen. ND does have dead humor and sarcasm, but that was the backbone for comedy for quite sometime. From the Naked Guns to the Ace Ventura's. It would be great to have comedies like Pryor or Murphy used to make, but that's not going to happen. ND is probably the closest we will get to old school humor. On the contrary, I read something about someone saying that Lizzie McGuire was better than ND. I only have one question, what in the heck were you doing watching that movie? I would suppose that this person watches her show too. And just too let everyone know, if you read the facts about ND, you will read that they do tell you that a Liger is a real animal. to know that, you have to have read the quotes or you have to be a reall geek....... This movie may seem dumb at frist, but give it another shot and you'll see that this movie is worth owning and why people, who hate or love it, keep on rambling on about Napoleon Dynamite. Pay attention to what people say and enjoy the laughter. This movie is very original in it's own way and has the potetial to win probably just an eMpTy Vision Movie Award.
