I bought this DVD today, and thought it was pretty funny, not crazy funny though, like Wedding Crashers, or Dumb and Dumber. I was an ok movie, I liked Napoleon Dynamite, but I thought Pedro made the film. Everything about him look funny. Anyways who has ND in their DVD collection, becuase I am happy it is in mine. It's a movie you can watch over, and over, and find it still funny!!!

I couldn't even sit through it. I thought it was pretty bad. This is one of those indies that PRETENDS to be a thoughtful indie features, and ends up fooling a large portion of the population, much like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which I liked the first time, but couldn't quite sit through the second time.

I def have it. One of my fav movies. I never go on a road trip w/ out it.

It's got that type of humor that u just gotta understand to like the movie. I didnt see it till it was on DVD-but I'm glad i did!

I wouldn't be posting here if I didn't.

I liked the movie. It wasn't a classic but certainly funny.

Being from Idaho, It's one that had to be in my collection.
I fell asleep the first time I watched it, but then the more I watched it the funnier it got. You have to be in the right kind of mood when watching it to think that it's funny.

I often wonder if the people who enjoyed Napoleon Dynamite have a *bigger* sense of humor. I dunno. Just ignore that comment.

But yea, we have it.

I found the movie stupid funny, and I don't get tired of watching the movie.

Gosh!

(and He's almost the same in the upcoming movie, Just Like Heaven.)

Napoleon Dynamite is the worst movie of the decade!!!!

Sorry for everyone who likes Napoleon Dynamite but I found it so boring I had to foward some parts....yes I rented it at Blockbuster Video.

I really think age has a lot to do with whether a person likes or dislikes this movie. It is definitely a 60's type movie with the same goof-ball humor of the time.

I own the movie, and it gets watched at least oncea week.

When I was in school, I WAS NAPOLEON DYNAMITE!!

This movie does really rock. It can be very obnoxious to some.

I have it. I don't think it has any meaning at all, and I don't think that was their point. It's just meant to be weird and funny... a collection of stories from Jared Hess' life and the lives of other people he knows (with some made-up stuff thrown in for fun). It's not life-changing, but I like it. And when I went to Disneyland last month and saw about a hundred people wearing "Vote for Pedro" shirts, I realized that's it's had quite a lot of impact on people. The more some people love it, the more others will hate it... that's just how it works. I know Jon Heder... he was in a bunch of my classes... so of course I own the DVD. Gotta support the local projects.

Wow, I am going to agree with MMP. Lame movie. Totally disappointed after all the hype.

On first viewing, I thought it was an enjoyable if not particularly amazing film. Repeat viewings have improved my opinion of the film. It's minimalist-type comedy, which seems to make everything stand out all the more and make greater impressions on return visits. I think it's great that a small movie can catch on big like that, and I can understand how it's popular. I'd rather a unique and fairly clever movie like this catch on than see some inane big budget blockbuster (like [insert loathed inane blockbuster of your choosing here]) rack up hundreds of millions of dollars around the world.

And to answer the question, yes, I own the DVD. Got it as a gift and I'm quite glad to have. Not sure if I will be taking the obligatory Fox double dip. Probably not.

Is a special edition of the movie actually coming? Anyway, back on topic; I haven't seen it yet, but I will rent it if I can.

Yes, I've read in a couple of places that one is slated for Q4, so an official announcement should be turning up soon.

I heard a special edition was in the works as well somewhere but I forget where.

It was kinda obvious though that it was coming since this is a Fox DVD, the DVD had some extras but not enough for a new cult favourite and yeah it's a cult favourite so they'll exploit that if they can.
