I honestly though it was the biggest load of rubbish i've seen for a long time. It's like the whole thing was just building up to the dance at the end, but the film makers were lucky i didn't turn it off before i got that far.

I thought it was really quite stupid and vulgar, but the dance scene and the very very end were amusing. There's something about things like that... like the viewers who love it are all saying that they can laugh at anything, nothing can make them squirm, derision is complete. I don't know--I suppose I sound like an old lady or basically just don't get it. I guess I can compare it to old John Hughes movies, but the dumb-funny jokes in those films were not always the point for me. Or maybe the things they made fun of just seemed less ugly... or rather the things they reflected seemed less ugly because I knew them and they seemed benign. It's the knowing, or not knowing, that seems to be the thing. That 1/2 generation gap--yes! Blabble gabble. Honestly, Napoleon Dynamite is more a big long MTV show than it is a movie.
