I didn't really think it was funny until days after I saw it, it took a long time to work its way into my brain. But I love it now. I've still only seen it 1 1/2 times.

It definitely did creep up on me. I found myself chuckling about it long after I watched it.

people that think it's funny are just jumping on the "omg, it's the funniest movie ever" bandwagon

Not true. I knew nothing about it. Then it wormed it's way into my brain very slowly with the sheer force of brilliance.

I nearly peed myself laughing watching it. I'm afraid, Kraw, that you don't have a soul. :(

No, you're thinking of Wes Anderson fans, people who thought Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, or Life Aquatic were funny.

I didn't see Royal Tenenbaums or Rushmore, but I did see Life Aquatic. I think I chuckled once or twice watching it. That movie is so bad it's a joke between the wife and me. We'll be at the video store and I'll say, "oh look, Life Aquatic. Want to check it out?" And she'll just look at me like this: :mad: Napoleon Dynamite is comedy gold compared to that movie.

It's one of my favourite movies of all time!! :D

I thought it was absolutely hilarious!

My friend watched it and said she only laughed at the stupid slapstick crap, like him falling off the bike and falling over the fence. :eek7: What the hell? I don't get that at all! :P

that's it!! My brother said the movie was garbage, but we'd catch him quoting it, and we just had to laugh at him!
But that really is part of it's charm, the movie doesnt have too much dialogue, and so it's sooo easy to remember the dialogue and quote so much of the movie. :)

The kids i babysit for told me about the movie, (they are from utah/out west) and they didnt get it, but i laughed so much when i saw it, and i've seen it like 6 times at least. I always laugh when i see it, it's absurd.

BTW, i thought the Royal Tenenbaums was a GREAT and funny movie as well. (then again, i laughed in Punch Drunk Love, but that was because of who i saw the movie with.)

bleh. At least, it was an accidental typo (or looks likes one.)
I'm amazed at the number of people on the net who actually believe it's spellt "Napolean" :hmm:

It seems more natural to spell it with an "a" but I know it's wrong. So, so wrong :nonono:

it's just the american english accent.. it's a french name, if you said it with a french accent than it'd be easier to see that it's with an O and not an A.

näpôlāōN
the "N" inplying the preceding wowel is nasalized.
Writing it Napolean would make it sound näpôlāäN
(pronunciation key (http://www.infoplease.com/pronkey.html))

Problem for most of you being, of course, that neither äN nor ōN exist in English... :hmm:

False. Life Aquatic wasn't all that good, but the first two are ****ing genius, and it aint a bandwagon I'm jumping on since most people are like you and "don't get them."

Ok its not a laugh out loud type of film. The comedy is very differn't. For instance the scene with the time machine and Napolen says "don't forget the crystals"

I couldn't stand Napoleon Dynamite at all, but the best part was when he fell over the fence.

There are funny movies that have jokes, funny dialogue and punchlines, and then there are funny movies that dont have those things, and are just funny.

The Royal Tenenbaums, and Napoleon Dynamite or funny w/out having jokes and punchlines, they are just comical in a different way.

I think people expect funny to be jokes and punchlines, and when its not, they cantsee why others think it's funny. :)

The movie doesn't make an sense at all. It is just big time weird.
It may be not the best form of humor, but it certainly is hilarious.
I love that movie!!!!

Whoa, whoa, hang on a sec, dry British humour is great! The Life Aquatic is terrible, its not comparable to proper British humour in the slightest. :hmm:
