Yeah.... could anyone explain what was supposed to be so good about this movie?

You'll either love it or hate it. If you don't have an open sense of humor, you won't like its randomness. Get over it.

The thing is, my entire personality is defined AS a open sense of humor, and I like randomness. This is why I like Family Guy so much.

I haven't seen it, but it looks pretty stupid from the commercials. I can't understand british humor. I guess some people just have different definitions of humor.

Definately not british humor. Or stupid humor (a la Dumb & Dumber).

It's.... subtle... humor?

Say somebody falls down some stairs. If you laugh at that, you'll probably like the movie. If you think people are assholes for laughing at that, you'll probably hate it.

Personally, I loved it, not as a movie, but for the sheer quoteability of it.

" You're mom goes to college!"

Sorry, I just threw british humor in there. Was not intended to describe the movie, was just showing different people think different things are funny.

It was definatly a breath of fresh air from all the crappy sex comedies one after the other that are coming out. Ever since American Pie, I've seen nothing but teen sex comedies. This is a good, clean movie that manages to be way funnier and original than any sexy comedy in theaters. If you don't like it, toss it, and move on.

I loooove this movie. You have to relate to Beavis and Butthead in order to laugh at ND.

In that case I might like it. Beavis and Butthead are awesome.

I found it hilarious but of course I was with a group of friends and I was next to the loudest of them all. He was constantly laughing and you could help but laugh.

Definately a unique humor. I found it amusing how the writers managed to get across the "swearing" without actually swearing; son of a wisket for example (from somewhere else i think).

Some of my friends hated it, others loved it and I heard quotes from it every two minutes from those that loved it.

This movie is awesome. I watch it every night to go to sleep. Seriously, you will love it or hate it. It has some of the best lines in any movie of any period. Look at my sig....Kip said that. Some other great ones:

Your mom goes to college
Your bruising my neck meat
God...gross....friggin idiot
you got shocks...pegs.....LUCKY
ever take it off any sweet jumps
There are a buttload of gangs at this school. One of em kept wanting me to join because Im pretty good with a bo staff
I have all your crap in my locker, you should probably come get it because I cant fit my numbchucks in there anymore
what are you going to do today napoleon? Whatever I feel like I wanna do...GOD
Do the chickens have large talons?
Who's the only one here who knows the illegal ninja moves from the government?
You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills... Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.
I caught you a delicious bass.
If you vote for me all of your wildest dreams will come true

The list goes on and on. Watch napoleon dynamite. If only once, still, watch it.

"What are you drawing?"
"It's a liger."
"What's a liger?"
"It's a cross between a lion and a tiger, it's pretty much my favorite animal."

Looks really stupid, but stupid as in Id probably watch it if I had the chance. I wouldn't actually pay money to watch this, but Id bum the DVD from a friend if they had it.
