I quite possibly cannot find words to describe the intensity with which I loathe this Napoleon Dynamite. I saw it in theatres with my friend, and we walked out of the theatre wanting the last 88 minutes of our lives back. We have now determined that the best part of the movie was knowing that it would end eventually. After hearing it was better the second time around, I watched again with a few friends at a New Years' party. I took that time exchanging bored and annoyed looks with the only person in the room who felt the same way.

With a multitude of "football-in-the-groin" type jokes (well, actually, bike-in-the-groin, for the movie), the humor of the entire movie is less than satisfactory. With lines like "Your mom goes to college!", "Bow to your sensei!", "I like your sleeves; they're real big.", "Ever take it off any sweet jumps?", and "Gosh, idiot!", shows that grammar of the characters does not extend first grade. Oh, right, the mom joke. Okay, second grade.

It seems that, from a graphic point of view, the studio did absolutely nothing with colouring at all. The entire movie, ironically from Uncle Rico's POV, seems to be stuck in the 80's, with the exception of the internet by which Kip wastes his life.

As many flames as I may get for this, I don't care. If I need to watch this movie a multitude of times in order to get the jokes, I'd rather watch a movie where I can understand the jokes the FIRST time. If given a choice of watching Napoleon Dynamite or being tied to a bear for ten minutes, I'd take the latter.
