VividSimon Simply Perfect

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

cmcelraft If you want a goofy movie with minimal plot, then this is your movie. When this movie first can't out, it seemed that college kids and high schoolers alike were really into this film. Perhaps it was due to the goofy characters and the thin plot line. The setting has the feel of the 80's or 90's. The wardrobe is pretty bland, but realistic for the characters. The one thing that I would have to say about this movie may have been an overlooked theme. This movie is about friendship. Napoleon is a geeky kid who seems to have no friends and is bullied. As the story progresses, he finds friendship and even a girlfriend. I think with this theme in mind that, it makes this film a bit more sweet.

victiminvesta Ppl who give this flick high stars - "what is wrong with you, you fricking IDIOTS, GOSH!". The movie : a bunch of dopey idiots doing completely random and idiotic things in some Kafkaesque rural town in Idaho brought to you by high school drama club. Movie is made in 2004, and school ID implies 2004, but it feels like the movie is set in 80s, with Kip spending time chatting in a computer which kind of places it in the 90s. I guess the props obtained from Goodwill or garage sale lend themselves to anachronisms. Want to watch a "cult flick"? Watch "Ghost town" or "Clerks".

Leofwine_draca NAPOLEON DYNAMITE is one of those low-budget comedies that asks you to be of the same mindset as the lead characters in order to gain enjoyment from it. Sometimes this works for me - I love the documentary American MOVIE because I can identify with the drive and identity of the filmmakers. In contrast, I found that NAPOLEON DYNAMITE left me cold. The characters are cold and sarcastic in that peculiarly American way, obnoxious in fact, and the film's constant ironic humour simply didn't appeal to me. I appreciate that it's different to your mainstream high school comedy, but at the same time I found this uninteresting and interminable.

cosmax10 I found this movie funny and I watched it the first time in my 40's. I understood the humor. I think it was a very cultural thing about how absurd life is at times. I think if you are looking for a side slapping comedy, this isn't that kind of movie, and there is nothing deep and meaningful about it. I have watched it twice and still enjoy it. This is one of those movies that you either like or hate and probably nothing in between. It is not a fast paced movie, it just moves along slowly. I don't think people from other countries would like it that much, but then again, you never know. I do know a lot of teens liked it mainly because of the quirky 80's dance routine.
