Anyone seen Napoleon Dynamite?
My son is here and we are looking for a movie. My youngest loved this movie but I am not sure so I thought I would ask all you what you thought of it. The other choices are Hero (I do not really want to see this), Sky Captain or Mr. 3000. Curious about Napolean though.

1. I liked it fine. Very funny even for adults in their 40s.
And since I came from a town almost as desolate as the one depicted in the movie, the lengths to which adolescents in such towns will go to make their lives more interesting and substantial rang quite true to me.

It's a good one.

2. How about adults
in their 50's? Just kidding, I am pretty good with this kind of stuff. Not into the anime or Hero type movies but this sounds kinda funny, just was wondering. Thanks.

3. Very funny
not as many laugh out loud moments as I thought, but VERY good film. I want it on DVD!!! I LOVED the characters. So touching and real.

Pedro will just slay you. Augh. My heart hurts just thinking about him.

4. Thanks
this is probably what we see IF I don't get dumped for a jazz concert in KC tonight. He would rather go to that if he can get someone to make the drive with him. Poor Mom, dumped again.
