Well, I just saw "Napoleon Dynamite" and I'd like to ask a favor...
Could someone point out the humor in this film? I didn't find any.

Thanks,
T

5. Hey, I'm glad you liked it. Seriously.
I suspect that "Napoleon Dynamite" is a love/hate film. No middle ground. You loved it. I hated it with a passion.

But like you said, to each his/her own.

6. I wish I could dance like Napolean..
Seriously; everytime I hit the dance floor, somebody calls the paramedics and they stick a pencil in my mouth because they think I'm having an epileptic seizure..

11. Are you a flippin' idiot?
Go make yourself a dang quesadill-a!

This movie is so funny because you KNOW people like Kip and Napoleon! And in some weird way, you connect with them too. I could watch this movie over and over again and still laugh my ass off.

13. You didn't find the humor, 'cause...
...Napoleon Dynamite is an overrated, mostly unfunny, pretty lame movie.

But like an above poster said, to each his/her own.

And I'm glad I'm not totally alone in not getting the big deal about this film. :hi:
