Do you like The Big Lebowski?  What about O'Brother?  Do you think Jim Carrey is funny?  What about Old School?

I am trying to get a gague for weather or not your opinion about a comedy is valid or not.

Wasnt a fan of Big Lebowski either, but it was still better than ND.
My opinion of good comedies are Kevin Smith flicks, Me Myself & Irene(yes it has Jim Carrey), Badder Santa, Shaun Of The Dead, Red Dwarf, Family Guy. Old School is pretty great too! Ever see Clay Pigeons?

This movie was just retarded.


Ok.  You're taste in comedies is fine.

Apparently I won't spend any money watching this movie.  Maybe someone I know bought it and I can borrow it.

Edit: Red Dwarf is fucking hilarious.  *jams*


Red Dwarf is so good! Your typical BBC drama- and quite obvious humour which is probably why you Americans find it funny. I also find it hard to believe you will've got a lot of the jokes in Shaun of the Dead BV cos i heard it was a very english film.


I got all the jokes.  *shrug*

Also, you do realize that Red Dwarf was a book first, right?  It wasn't a BBC invention.

Hmmm.

I enjoyed the movie for one reason and one reason only.

The big dance sceene was BRILLIANT.  I haven't seen 2 minutes of a movie that I enjoyed that much in YEARS.

THe rest of the movie was just setup for that ONE sceene, because it wouldn't have been half as funny without the back story.

no kidding.  I was about to fall asleep after watching the whole thing until that scene came on.  We are now in the process of helping my friend Tyler learn all the moves.

Did anyone pick up on the girl from that Andre the seal movie and Corinna, Corinna?  i thought she fell off the face of the planet.

Waterworld. And yeh I thought she did fall off the face of the planet.
But you cant blaim her for taking a few years off to go to school and be a regular kid, now old enough to get back into acting and balance it better.

parts of it were funny, parts of it weren't. I agree that the dance scene was definitely the best.

Okay, I'm not gonna lie, I was skeptical at first about it but.. I saw it a little while ago and cracked up... my roomie owns the movie soo I've seen it a good number of times now.  I'm not obsessed like some ppl here are but I think its quite amusing :wink:  hahaha

OMG it was too funny!

LAFAUNDA! and how he was saying how it was gettin serious because they talk 2 hours a day! hahah And he was all concerned because she only sent him head shots.  And he got all gangsta too.  Kip even talks funny.

And I love the way ND runs... he ducks as he runs... so bizarre.  


I recommend it.

I LOVE NAPOLEON DYNAMITE!

"What are you gonna do today Napoleon?"
"Whatever I feel like, GOSH!"  :lol:

I love that kind of humor.

"I see you're drinking one percent milk. Is that 'cause you think your fat?"


Hehehe I love this movie.  I could totally understand why people would hate it though, it's that weird kind of humor that only appeals to some people I guess.

It's really not even that funny during the movie, just thinking about all the stupid stuff after.


But OMG if you like this movie, you MUST buy the DVD.  It has deleted scenes that are FREAKIN' AMAZING!!! They're really funny, especially the kickball one.  I can't believe they took them out! In the commentary they said something about how it interupted the flow of the movie... and I was like 'What the heck?!?! The movie doesn't flow at all!!!!!'

But it's funny anyway...

This was a good film- hard to get in places and quite a love it or hate it film. Found some parts of it really hilarious, and others not at all.
