Don't get to see many movies but I saw this last night on a recommendation from a friend who has a similar sense of humour to myself.

It's a film following the fortunes of a real inbred geek family.

It is one of the funniest films I've ever seen.

Set your sky plus boxes for sunday 11.15 am.

It's refreshing as it's a PG, and just goes to show that I don't need swearing to make me laugh. Who'd a thunk it?

Deb: What are you drawing?
Napoleon Dynamite: A liger.
Deb: What's a liger?
Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.

Can't believe it's slipped through my net for the last couple of years.

Are you being serious here folks? I need to add a bit of realism to this thread. Napolean Dynamite is one of the worst films yer old da's ever had the misfortune to watch. I was so close to walking out, the only reason I stayed was to finish the rest of my bucket of popcorn. A truly awful movie, with an annoying as hell lead in the title role.

I didn't realise that there were real animals called Ligers and Tigons until an 8 year old corrected me :oops:

I can see how this can be a 'marmite' movie but I, for one, thought it was hilarious.

If we all found the same things entertaining, this world would be a dull place.

I mean, my wife can actually sit down and watch Eastenders and Coronation Street for gods sake!!!

Hairy muff. It's one of those, as you say, marmite movies. I hate marmite btw, filthy stuff.

Its in a class of its own, like Donnie Darko. Top film

wonder why you disliked this movie, yod? best high school movie ever. i loved it. specially emily kennard - the girl he takes to the dance, not the diminuite one he eventually plays tether ball with. emily's a bit catty at that point, but phwoar!

and pedro & his cousins with all the sweet hook-ups.

and his brother grating the huge block of cheese.

and when he goes to ride his bmx over the jump.

was there a prize at the bottom of your popcorn, yod?

I liked this movie, but it's style won't work for everyone. Every character is way over the top, but of course they are being ironic.

Best high school movie ever? Away wi ye. Ferris Bueller/Teenwolf/American Pie/Porky's anyone?

american pie was great yes. also liked spring break and private school. and the lesser known can't hardly wait.

Watched it again sunday. Even better 2nd time round.
