2. Me neither

And I am afraid that all the pop culture references to it go way over my head.

6. I did not find it funny at all.

I watched it because I was told by many people that it was so funny, but I just kept waiting for the laughs that never came.

I didn't even crack a smile during the whole thing. I thought "Napoleon Dynamite" was just stupid.

16. Lame

is the word I'd use. But I guess it is the quotable classic for today's yoot.

It is by no means in the same universe as a Grail, Tap, Fletch, Bueller, Princess Bride, or a Caddyshack.

18. Boring. I don't think I laughed once.

My kids love it. I just don't get it.

19. Absolutely love it, but it's really bizarre and quirky and I can understand why

some people don't get it.

20. I thought it was funny at times, but it was an incredibly solipsistic work by the director...

The parts that were funny were those I could relate to, which are very few. However if you listen to the director's commentary on the DVD, the director refers non-stop to little obscure moments in his life that (lucky for us?) made their way into the film. The entire film is based on his own particular childhood memories - memories that are so unique to his experiences that only a few of us can relate.

I give it a 'meh.
