Was Napoline Dynamite good or stupid?

[hallsmentholyptus]

isn't the dancing part the best???? I could watch that forever!!

 

[awesome liver]

it was more than stupid, it was down right annoying. there were two scenes that made it tolerable. that poor cow and poorer children and the dancing.

I watched it with my son for the "fun of it." I expected to be bored to , but actually ended up laughing at the silliness. Looking at it reflectively, they did a really good job. Look at all the high dollar loosing movies, yet this one touched a bunch of people with a shoe line budget. ...Well, touch may be too much.

Yay!!! I finally saw it!


Hee hee- that dancing part was pretty funny wasn't it? The beginnings of the disco revival maybe? I saw some pictures of the guy who played Napoleon, only without the afro & moon boots, etc... I was amazed at how normal he looked!!

Yeah. It was good. If you can take what's worth taking & leave what's not- it was lots of fun!

 

[bill'swife]

so stupid it was funny!!!

I have never felt so sorry for a looser in all my life... I was actually turned off BIG TIME by the stupidity of the movie... the only humor I saw in the whole movie was when he racked himself on the bike...

Overall 1/4 of a star out of 10

My oppinion the movie was horible.
I don't see how everyone likes it there was noooooo point.
all the kids in my youth group (even the youth pastor)
loves the movie.

 

[lummoxcooties]

some random information.... jon heder, the guy who plays napoleon got punk'd.

I thought that it was stupid. And I agree that it was one of those movies that you either love or you hate. I think that I hated it so much because before I even got to watch it, everyone around my school was already quoting every single quote! I swear that I heard someone say 'pegs, shocks, sweet' or 'do you have any chapstick' at least ten times. It was so annoying!

 

[Nanee5]

I was one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen... almost right up there with Solaris, but Solaris still was worse....hehehe.

 

[chari.chari]

STUPID

but still FUNNY

 

[woman.at.the.well]

so stupid it was funny!!!

I'm with bill'swife on this question. Some parts were indeed soooooooo stupid I literally busted up laughing out loud. However . . .my 20 yr old son loved it as well as some of the folks at our church (30 and under crowd it seems : )

 

[Wahwax]

it's definately an acquired taste kind of humour.

 

[bill'swife]

I liked it pretty much...but then again...I liked Mystery Science Theater 3000 the Movie!!!
I bought Napolean Dynamite for my 17 yr. old daughter who is graduating this yr.

She specifically asked for it.

 

[kleptobismol]

i loved it!!!

 

[amynicole912]

so stupid! but my Worship Pastor talked about it for like 3 weeks non-stop

 

[SOLDOUT4HIM]

I have only seen part of it (I fell asleep). I wan't to see the rest b/c I talked to someone who said I'd probably like it if I saw the whole movie (I didn't enjoy what I saw).

 

[texmex]

How could you not like it? It IS better the seond time you see it though. So all y'all should give it another chance.

 

[ladylike]

I watched it tonight! Didn't know movies went on DVD so soon.

I liked it, I thought Napoleon would be a bit dorkier and that is why one of the reasons why the movie would be likeable. I am glad it wasn't because, in my view, the audience accepted his mannerisms and his uniqueness and didn't concentrate what the movie wasn't.

My favourite characters were Pedro and Kip (he's a cutie in real life).
