Are DH and I warped -- we thought Napoleon Dynamite was hysterical

[tar heel]

It didn't exactly get warm reviews on this board when it first came out. It seems to be becoming a cult hit, so I guess we're part of the cult. Our 16-year-old works at AMC Theatres and thinks it gets funnier and funnier. His girlfriend thinks it's funny in parts but lacks a plot.

I think it was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen....what does that say about me!

I took DS11, and the two of us loved it!

Not a movie for intellectuals... but those who love insanely dysfunctional family situations and wicked character insights will probably be tickled all the way through.

If you liked -Napoleon have you seen "Ghost World"? It's the same "warped but very funny" genre.

Not intellectual, surely you're not serious!

I think the humor is a little like Saturday Night Live or Monty Python -- warped but really creative.

Thanks for the tip about Ghost World -- we'll have to look for that.

for those of you that have seen it, did you stay till the very end. There is a scene afterwards after the credits totally end.
