Pauline and I decided to watch a movie... to take our mind of waiting for results....
We chose Napoleon Dynamite....
Some movies are just made to be stupid.
Napoleon Dynamite is one of those movies.
People under 30 will probably find it funny... those over 30 will shake their heads and wonder how they can recover those last 2 hours.
Napoleon Dynamite is a movie set in the mid-west of USA... in one of those non-descript country locations. Population, probably 1,500-5,000.
All the characters are likely to be high school drop outs and will not amount to much... and the charm is in what little their characters do.. and the sterotype 'loser' they play.
All the characters are boring... and you wouldn't of blamed the characters from committing suicide.. it's that depressing a movie.
It's been made to be a cult movie, but unless you're a big fan of
Jim Jarmusch style movies... you'll probably not like it.
It's so stupid at times... it's funny. Though it wears off after the first 30 minutes. I found I only kept watching it, like those caught watching a train wreckage.
Rating: 4/10
