It has a weak plot that is hard to follow. It's about the main character’s social clumsiness and lack of communication skills as he tries to fit in. The movie has not a lot of action, showing the character's absence of emotion. If this was meant to be a comedy, it wasn’t very funny. The comedy comes from Napoleon and his friend’s awkwardness. The sense of humor is bad, It makes the audience laugh at the character and not with the character. This starts off slow and ends the same, there are no major events that happen in the movie. The movie makes no attempt to make Napoleon and his friends likable. This is a movie mocking and disrespecting nerds. Napoleon Dynamite is a waste of time. The theme of the movie unclear, and gets across no message. The directing is horrible, the scenes were cheesy and raw. The movie is hard to watch and is dull. The acting is vague and the main characters speak in a low tone that is hard to understand. The movie has no realistic conflict that gets resolved. Napoleon Dynamite pushes the stupidity and foolishness to a whole new level. Overall the movie makes no sense and is hard to enjoy. This movie is a compilation of random events that happen put into one

    Rudd, Malco, and Rogen provide so many gut-busting laughs that the movie can float with them alone. Many of the film’s best moments come from the interactions of these three actors, who also are able to offer some of the most quotable lines of dialogue in the film. In addition to the supporting cast, there are also a great number of cameo appearances from other comedians and stars such as Jonah Hill, David Koechner, and Kevin Hart to name a few. The worst aspect of this film is the somewhat long running time.

    Most people decide to live in the present or plan for the future in most of their lives, but many people focus on the past not only as their ages of glory but also as the only important point in their lives. A particularly poignant example of this phenomenon is the titular character uncle, Rico, from the movie Napoleon Dynamite. Rico’s saga consists of a middle-aged man who lets his teenage aspirations of being a star football player control his thinking long into adulthood. Uncle Rico provides a fantastic example of the common phenomenon of desiring and dreaming for possibilities from the past instead of actively attempting to improve his own life in the present. Uncle Rico is one of many people in the modern age who live sad existences focusing

    Honestly, the part that made me laugh at in the film is when Sandra Bullock and Brendan Fraser are talking and ended up fussing about the door locks. Bullock takes out her anger on a Mexican locksmith who is changing their door locks at home. Bullock said your “Amigo in there is going to sell our keys to one of his homeys.” And its a little bit funny when the mexican guy puts the keys down and calmly walking out at the end. But I just felt bad for him hearing those words and its heartbreaking to know that these things happen every second.

    Overall, the film could not get any better. I love how the film takes viewers on a journey of a simple minded, small town, Alabama boy. The fact that this simple minded man did everything, that an average minded person wishes they could, is so fascinating. Another thing about the movie that was so interesting is the way they captivated every historical event from the late 1950’s to late 80’s. Everything about the film was amazing; from the way each line was said with precision, to the made up city of Alabama.

    I glad to see someone on this site with a similar viewpoint on this movie. Personally for me it never displayed that "it" factor. Whoa… I’m not sure if it was the noteworthy cult film references it made to begin with, or if it was the nostalgic 90’s hip-hop culture, it emulated later on, regardless of what it was this movie flat-out blew me away in all sorts of ways that I didn’t expect. La Haine centers around a trio of friends from the French slum of banlieusards.
