simply not funny It's not that I don't "get it" because I understood the jokes, and I knew why they were supposed to be funny. They just weren't (for the most part). I consider myself to have impeccable taste in comedies: 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' is, hands down, the funniest movie of all time. Close behind is 'Dumb and Dumber' and 'Tommy Boy'. Other faves are 'Airplane!' and 'Police Academy'. In other words, I know a funny movie when I see it. 'Airplane!', for example, has a lot of the dry "stupid funny" humour that 'Napoleon Dynamite' attempts but fails miserably. If you haven't seen the movies I mentioned (especially 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'), I highly recommend you see what you're missing. The only reason that this movie can do so well among young people (of which I am one -- 22 years old) is because they (we) have been deprived of quality comedies (1995's 'Tommy Boy' being the last great comedy). If you think trite jokes about a guy "stuck in the 80's" are funny, then, by all means, get 'Napoleon Dynamite'. If you think "liger" (Napoleon's favorite mythical creature -- a cross b/w a lion and tiger) is funny, then get 'Napoleon Dynamite'. If you share my tastes in comedies, then avoid. Don't waste two hours of your life and certainly don't waste your money. I doubt this will truly become a cult classic; it simply isn't funny.
