Napoleon Dynamite cartoon?

Post by Smaug the Dragon »



Did anyone post about this when it was released a few months back? I didn't see it 'til last night.

What do you guys think? Potential gem, or utter flop?

Of course I've seen it. I can distinctly remember staring at the screen while being surrounded by hysterical laughter, wondering how I could possibly be missing the humor in such mindless, deprived garbage.

..yeah, I have a strong opinion about these types of films. :noway:

I thought it was actually quite funny.

Of course, there are two (or more) types of humor: intellectual humor, and stupid humor. And this movie falls into the stupid humor category.

Needless to say, I prefer intellectual humor any day.

Thiiiis.

there's nothing worse then sitting in front of a screen wondering why you aren't doing something far more beneficial with your time.

it's really not that bad, you make it sound like The Hangover or something... :anxious: I mean, it's basically very innocent, an awkward, geeky teenager has adventures with his friends Pedro and Deb, etc. I found it hilarious, though you obviously felt differently.

:shrugs: different sense of humour I guess.

^^Except even if you find some of the content immoral, the Hangover is actually a well-written intellectual comedy that is actually funny.

Napoleon Dynamite was overhyped garbage. >_> Some friends of mine were obsessed with it and kept telling me it was my kind of movie and that I would love it... and it is really just awful. I typically like "stupid" comedy (I love Will Ferrell who basically makes a living off stupid comedy) but this was just too much.

That’s exactly what some of my friends said! They lent me the dvd and I gave it back after about a month. Never ended up watching it.

Oookay... in retrospect, I think I shouldn't have left an option for negative feedback. I wouldn't have had any comments, but I also wouldn't be feeling like such an unrefined buffoon with poor taste in comedy. :(

This is like on my top three favourite movies list.

I like the movie, Smaug, sort of. \:D/ The second half annoyed me a little, but most of it amused me.

This TV show, however, looks like adult-cartoon-ified version of the movie.

Hey Smaug, I quite liked the movie, but I have to agree with AE on the cartoon.
