Things I loved about the movie.

trapper keeper
tether ball
ten speed gears
boom box
parachute pants
all wood tv
that lowrider playing 80's funk is classic!
A-Team theme song


You can tell there was no hip-hop influence in this when they made refernces to to it. The styles and everything were way off. They had 2000 styles in the 80's. And was that backstreetboys on her candidate speech cheerleadering dance? Im confused, was this 80's? 90's? But hey, I loved the movie when it stayed on track about the nerds.

Overall a funny movie, but incredibly inacurate.

Felt like I was in the 80's then 90's all at the same time.

Ok, I didn't like the movie much, but I had to take the quiz. I have no idea what the hell this means:

Saw it last night, funny in parts not so much in others. One interesting thing that my girlfriend picked up immediately. The girl who plays Deb in the movie(goes to dance with Pedro and is friends with Napoleon) was the little girl in Waterworld hanging out with Kevin Costner.

Good to know Waterworld didn't ruin her career :)

I actually go to school with several people who were in undergrad with him and the director at BYU. They said he's really cool in real life, and the one girl that knew him says he's actually a hottie. Damn good actor, then :D

Funniest movie I have seen in years and I am an old fart. It didn't matter if it was the 80's or 90's, it was Idaho. Time stands still in Idaho and that's not a bad thing.
I am using about a dozen of the sound drops and looking for more, i.e. Kip's "cage fight training " line.

The Llama's were a bit weird. Uncle Rico was outstanding. The hot chick was not. I need my chapstick.

Napoleon Dynamite:
Stay home and eat all the freakin' chips, Kip.

Kip:
Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

Napoleon Dynamite:
Since when, Kip? You have the worst reflexes of all time.

Kip:
Try and hit me, Napoleon.

Napoleon Dynamite:
What?

Kip:
I said come down here and see what happens if you try and hit me.

I saw this last night for the first time and thought it was hilarious! I laughed through the whole thing. Napoleon's dance grooves were side-splittingly funny.

Great flick! :thumbup:

I knew guys like that in high school - was always cool to them though :)

man that movie brought back some HS memories - just some songs they played sparked some memories I haven't had in many years
