[Anonymous]Sep 8, 200410GREAT MOVIE, CANT BE BEAT "Do you think people will vote for me? Heck yes! I'd vote for you. Like what are my skills? Well, you have a sweet bike. And you're really good at hooking up with chicks. Plus you're like the only guy at school who has a mustache. "

JennieM.Jan 10, 200510Okay this was an awsome movie and trust me it only gets better EVERY time you watch it!

krystalgJan 8, 200510If i could i would definetly give with movie a 15...Everything about it is just so hilarious. the voices, the clothes, the plott, EVERYTHING i could go on but i mean the point is that its great. Napoleon, Kipp, Pedro..? just the names alone crack me up!! i love Napeloen Dynamite.
-

DrewGFeb 1, 200510Flippin' awesome film!
-
-
marcusmFeb 7, 200510Halarious from start to finish, and the special ending was really funny. You easily fall in love (in a sense) w/ the characters because you can relate in one way or anther (you were/are like them, and/or you know someone who is). Perfectly scritped and acted, these characters could easily pass for real people. A must see and must OWN!!

ChristianH.Jun 16, 200410I've never watched a movie and laughed so hard that I actually cried . . . and I did with Napoleon Dynamite. Definitely not a movie for everyone, but the negative reviews that say that ND is a self-deprecating, self-hating movie have completely missed the point of this film.
-
-
RulonL.Jul 9, 200410One of the best comidies I have seen in ages. It was wonderful to see something that I could enjoy all the way through without feeling uncomfortable because of bad language, etc.
-
-
GregJ.Aug 30, 200410Look at the critics ratings, and look at the user ratings hahaha. The critics are really bombing this year. People love this movie, from start to finish. This is the best movie I've seen all year. It is interestingly enough, comparable to Forrest Gump. I loved it, and you will too. Definately a movie that people will enjoy
-

MathewR.Mar 1, 200510First time it was 9/10, then when I watched it again the next day it was pure 10/10. I was in tears the second time. Good off-the-wall comedy.
-

AdenR.Oct 10, 200410This is the funniest movie i have seen all year, and i cant stop quoting from it.
-
-
EmilyD.Dec 7, 200410Haha, this move is sweet. Napolean is my hero! I love how its made in Idaho, (i'm from Idaho) I live for the random thing Napolean comes up with.
-
-
PhilB.Oct 7, 200410Best movie ever. Have seen it three times and would see it again. It satisfies every type of humor - from the absurd to adult to intellectual. Very well made!
-
-
AlfonsoM.Jun 17, 20049I had to constantly stop my self from laughing but felt that some people i was with got annoyed by the movie.
-
-
RayRayJun 18, 200410What a great freakin' movie. A lovable loser flick that anyone who grew up outside of the "in-crowd" will relish.
-
-
EverettR.Jun 23, 20049Very clever film with some very funny moments. Casting is brilliant. Pacing is right on. ND is a quirky hero for our day.
-
-
JoeH.Jun 28, 200410Well done with subtle humor, very funny and you want to cheer for the underdog by the movies end.
-
-
SeanG.Jul 30, 200410This movie was absolutely amazing! I right off the bat "what are you going to do today Napoleon?" "whatever I feel like!! GOD."
-

-
-
TashaH.Aug 7, 200410This movie is one of the best movies I've seen because you can relate to almost every person in the movie and it is hilarious. I know how it is because I live in Idaho too. Napoleon is my hero!
-
-
JoshAug 9, 200410The best comedy I've ever seen, hands down. The writers must be geniuses. It's refreshing to see an intelligent film amidst so many cliche toilet joke quips by mediocre "comedic actors" who keep shoving the same recycled humor down our throats. Bottom line, this film defines quality.
-
-
WendyM.Sep 14, 200410This has got to be the funniest movie I've really ever seen. I just think this is a sweet, beautiful, hilarious film. A Must Buy!!!
-
-
ErinTSep 1, 200410Absolutely hilarious... but only for certain types of humor. this movie is so much better than any comedies i've seen in a while, and it isn't high brow or pretentious at all. a breath of fresh air.
-
-
AlisonB.Sep 21, 200410This, by far, is the best movie that i have ever seen. It is hilarious and fun to watch. I have seen it 3 times and every time it gets better. I highly recomend it to everyone. It is good for all ages too because of its PG rating.

AbbieS.Sep 5, 200410Its freakin' funny-if you're like me where EVERYTHING is funny, than you'll have stomach cramps from lauging so hard in this movie.
-
-
WhitneyS.Sep 9, 200410I found this movie to be quite hilarious, and it is just the type of movie that I like to see, it wasn't crude or vulgar, it was just plain, funny and wholesome my friends and I loved it!
-
-
MikeB.Jan 14, 200510This movie was brilliant. Excellent performances by all. Hilarious movie that will soon be a classic

-
-
JimJan 5, 200510Like "Lost in Translation," it certainly seems like you'll either love this movie or hate it. I loved it. See it yourself and find out. (Incidentally, I hated "Lost in Translation," and I'm in my 40s.)

jaunitobJan 7, 20059Im not even in high school, and i love this movie!!! its probly the best movie since the incredibles, and Napolean is so anti-social, for example, when he gets on the bus and kid asks him what he'll do, " Whatever i want, GOSH!!!!!!!!". at a 9 year old. he is also funny be cause he never opens his eyes.
-
-
[Anonymous]Jan 9, 200510Best comedy of the year.
-
-
felixsmurfFeb 10, 200510Napoleon Dynamite is an awsome movie. Through his humor, he inspires us all to be hero's in our own ways. I encourage everyone in some way to be like Napoleon.
-
-
BobS.Feb 4, 200510So funny!
-
-
JonathanH.Feb 5, 200510I loved this movie, mainly because I quote it all the time with my friends.

HillaryMay 15, 200510I love technology, but not as much as you and me. Always and forever! I love Napolean Dynamite it's so awesome! Practically my whole school is obsessed with Napolean Dynamite...my spanish class learned how to quote the movie in Spanish....Tu Madre va a Universidad....Ahhh I love it!!!!
-
-
JoshP.Jun 21, 200510It may not have a point but its so freakin hilarious!!!! that movie had some freakin idiots in it gah!
-
-
KymSep 17, 200510I've watched it 8 times.... It's the sort of film that is better teh 2nd and 3rd time around. So many classic moments. Unlce Rico is the funniest character. Just because he is the biggest loser in it. "Back in '82 I could throw a pigskin a quarter mile!"
-
-
StevenJ.Sep 7, 20059A classic! One of those few movies that you can watch more than once.
-
-
JackH.Jan 8, 200610An instant classic for me. One of the most funny films I have ever seen! I feel sorry for those of you who are like, "What is all the fuss about?". Either you "get" this movie or you don't. I have a feeling people that don't understand why it's funny are old and don't understand.

KatherineJul 24, 200610I watched it at my cousins and it was HILARIOUS! At one point I almost choked on food, and at another point water came out my nose, and I remember I could'nt breath at one point either. I really thought this movie was funny. I love how he says ramdom things.
-
-
TimS.Oct 21, 200710Absolutely hilarious - refreshingly everyday, not a special effect in sight. Its inspired me to become a porn director.

NapoleonD.Dec 11, 200410This is the funniest movie i've ever seen!!! I couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole movie. "Do the chickens have large tallons?" hahahahaha.
-
-
JuliaOct 20, 200410This was such an awsome movie! I loved it! The comedy was such a refreshing break from the usual "has to make a joke about sexuality to be funny" movie.

EthanP.Oct 22, 200410It is the most hilariuos movie I have ever seen. Napoleon Dynamite has struck minds everywhere with it's hilarious style and unique picture.

JuliaL.Oct 24, 200410This has to be the funniest movie I have ever seen. I thought all the characters were hilarious and it was a very well made movie.
-
-
chloecDec 6, 200410This movie is the most simple form of comedy. no thinking involved. just hoots of laughter and enjoyment.
-
-
TimP.Jul 19, 200410What makes Napoleon so good is that everyday eccenticies that most people keep to themselves are openly shared and exploited. We're all dorks; this movie is a diary of a couple of small town dorks. It doesn't need a plot; it's just eighty-five minutes of dorkiness at its coolest.
-
-
DavidC.Jul 23, 200410The ending makes the movie. One of the best indies I've seen in a long time, especally for a comedy.
-
-
AshW.Jul 23, 20049Pretty damn funny I'd have to say *two thumbs up!* ;)
-
-
KristalF.Jul 24, 200410Absoultly freakin hilarious!! yeah like fifty of them they were sourounding my cousin what would you do in a situation like that?
-

AshleyS.Jul 25, 200410Undeniable side splitting hilarity. i drove an hour to go see it, and i would do it again!

-
BrettBJul 27, 200410If you talk about a movie and attempt to recite it for a week, I call it a fantastic success. All we do these days is find opportunities to say, "You're mom goes to college!" And I am 32 not 13.
-
-
SteveF.Jul 29, 200410I love this movie i feel one with napoleon dynamite i espesially like the part when the kid asks him "napoleon wat r u doin today" watever i fell like gosh!
-
-
AustinC.Aug 11, 200410I couldnt stop laughing the whole movie!!
-
-
DaveA.Aug 12, 200410Best nerd movie in a long time. Not over done. I was laughing the whole time.
-
-
DanielleBAug 14, 20049That bike trick that Napolean did was just awsome. :-D
-
-
JeffR.Aug 18, 200410This is by far the funniest movie of all time it is a dry humor that is not in most movies. It has no plot which adds to the humor as napoleon goes through his adventure.
-

ChrisDAug 19, 200410

VianneAug 19, 200410Napoleon Dynamite is my first all-time favorite movie since Ferris....It's been a long time coming. I cannot think of anyone who couldn't appreciate something in it. I can relate to the awkwardness of growing up in the 80s. There is no other movie like Napoleon.
-
-
JohnW.Aug 25, 200410Sweeeeeet.
-
-
NeilC.Aug 28, 200410This movie proves there is still some originality out there. It is possibly one of the most continuously funny shows to be seen. Don?t waste your $ on the continuing trash and drivel that Hollywood keeps pumping out ? SEE THIS ONE!
-
-
DaveC.Aug 29, 20049You will love or hate this movie, but most likely you'll love it. Don't expect a plot, this movie is just about a dork's everyday life. Awkward situations, great physical humor.
-
-
WexlerM.Sep 11, 200410An incredebly witty movie that all audienceis will see something good in.
-
-
DanaMarieDontworryaboutitSep 12, 200410I would rate this movie a 200 if it went that hight... this movie was awesome! I went wit a bunch of friends and at first I didnt wanna go coz i thought it was gonna be dumb but i laughed the ENTIRE movie... especially at how he runs! LMAO! Omg .. i cant wait to see this movie again!!
-
-
60As long as you don't mind making fun of the afflicted, there are some killer comic moments.
-
90The cast playing these eccentric characters is magnificent...This is definitely one of the most unique comedies youll see all year.
-
50A one-note, lightweight, condescending comedy about the rubes of Idaho.
