Excellent movie, really funny. No real plot just his daily life. I'm not going to go into detail because i'm pretty sure most of you guys have heard about it.

The movie was stupid and funny at the same time.

There was no plot at all, but it was quite funny in a wierd sorta way.

This movie was funny in so many ways! I saw it in the States before I left and then I paid again to see it in England. Both places the theater was laughing so much.

Funniest thing is when his brother actually hooks up with his internet girlfriend.

I just got done watching this. Interesting movie. It's a little infuriating in that everyone is a loser and it's hard to root for anyone. Overall kinda entertaining and some good quotes.

Good. I have watched that movie 5 times. 2 times in theaters and 3 times at home, and I still laugh histerically. :thumbup:

I liked the movie, as did my wife. I think it might be one of those that you have to watch more than once to get the full effect...sort of like Office Space. The more you watch, the funnier it is.

I heard all the hype and rented this over the weekend.

:barf: this was a waste of time. Not really funny, all the characters are losers, and there's no plot. I think the only reason people like this movie is because it's very quotable.

Part of the point is that there is no plot. The other part, which I thought was pure genius, is we see the main character's entire situation change around him and, save for a last, final line at the end of the secret footage at the end of the film, Napoleon himself hasn't changed at all. Kind of the anti-character arc.

This movie reprsents 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back.

Hated it. The funniest part was that the blond "popular" dude reminded me of my friend's fiance.

highly recommend Dodgeball. My ex girlfriends 14 year old son told me it was hysterical. I rented it and my girlfriend was laughing at me you're taking the word of a 14 year old? We were both laughing out loud at it, stupid humor but funny nonetheless.

I have Napoleon Dynamite on my list too(Blockbuster online).
