    I like Napoleon dynamite, but i don’t think i’ll ever rewatch it. I watched it a couple of times when it came out with friends. And it’s almost more the experience than the movie. When i watched it the first time i thought there is some massive plot twist, like some of these people are aliens or something. Then the movie was over, and nothing really happened. I don’t think any of us really liked the movie, but then we just randomly quoted some lines and we re watched it, and we just always had a great time.

      I saw it in theaters and thought it was pretty goddamned stupid. Then, for various reasons, I ended up watching it multiple times with friends and somehow it just kept getting funnier.

      Great movie? I don’t think so. But it’s definitely something of a cultural touchstone for me.

        I waited years before I watched it, long after the hype had died down. I went in with no expectations and I quite enjoyed it.

        It’s just a day-in-the-life film where nothing really happens and there’s no big revelation or pay-off at the end, but the journey had some memorable moments and was fun nonetheless.
