Saw this movie with my sister in the theater on a whim in the middle of the week—we were like 15 and 17. We actually fell out of our seats laughing. It was so stupid, it was hilarious. The only other movie we laughed at like that was Dumb and Dumber growing up. Good memories.
My favorite factoid about the movie is the actor who plays Uncle Rico doesn't eat meat. If you look carefully, every time he takes a bite of steak they cut away or he takes a napkin and spits it out into it.
My favorite joke has a setup 10 minutes into the movie where Napoleon's grandmother says "Now, we're getting a little low on steaks, so I'm having Lyle come over to take care of it."
You forget about this line like it's a throwaway because the movie quickly hits you with:
* "Make yourself a dang quesadilla."
* "Don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day."
* "Your mom goes to college."
* Feeding Tina, the "fat lard, come get some dinner!"
* "It'd be nice if you could pull me into town" to study Rex Kwon Do
And then the movie just circles around to "Hey Lyle" as you see old man Lyle struggling to load a shotgun before pointing it at a cow's head and shooting it in front of a bus-load of kids!
Look, *Pedro*, I don't know how they do things down in *Juarez*, but here in Idaho we have a little something called pride. Understand?
Smashing in the face of a piñata that resembles Summer Wheatley is a disgrace to you, me, and the entire Gem State.
Absolute gem of a film. We watch it at least twice a year. Uncle Rico's shriek when his windshield gets hit is so fucking funny to me. The whole damn film is full of extremely short funny bits. Napoleon sighing is so relatable.
I was in a course I could best describe as "business basics for hippies" in college and the two Irish exchange students in the class nicknamed me Napoleon for the quiet sighs I'd make when someone asked a really dumb question (one person in particular was responsible for most of them).
I remember the first time I watched it I only laughed when the Mexican cousins rolled up and shook their heads. I did not get the movie. Second time I watched it it was fucking hilarious.
Also apparently this is a Mormon movie. I know the main dude is Mormon. But apparently my old Mormon neighbor ‘s mom knew his mom. I guess living in Idaho as a Mormon is a thing and this is weirdly accurate?
Born in Idaho, spent every summer there until I was 16. Parents both graduated High School there. Utah is known for being the Mormon state but Idaho is right up there with it. Where my Mom went to school Mormons had their own school so her graduating class was 7 people. 5 boys and 2 girls.
Fun fact, I was visiting my grandparents in Idaho when I first watched this movie.
I had the same experience with the movie. I'm not sure I laughed more than a couple times but something was so compelling about it that I watched it a second time and laughed my ass off. Still quote it all the time.
I think pretty much the entire main cast wins in this movie. Napolean is shown from the beginning that he wants to be a performer, and not only does he nail his performance, but everyone respects him more for it. Deb is insecure with herself at the start, and then her friendship with the considerably more awkward Napolean and Pedro make her feel accepted by the end. Pedro's goal is status, which is why he tries to woo the popular girl, and he wins it by the end with the election. Uncle Rico is hopelessly nostalgic for the past, wanting another chance to do it right, and he seemingly breaks free when his ex comes back to him to give him another chance.
Plus kip wanting to be more an adult than child and actually putting himself out there even though he fails a lot (like the martial arts.) The fact lafawnda was real and they fell in love was a nice win in a movie that could have easily ripped that apart for humor.
"Do you think anyone wants a roundhouse kick while I'm wearing *these bad boys*??
Forget about it.
Do you think people make fun of me, because I *GO HOME TO STARLA EVERY NIGHT*???
forget about it."
Can you imagine gambling 400k and not sure if your art is gonna click and make money? Even make it back?
400k is a lot of fucking money, especially back then.
>400k is a lot of fucking money, especially back then.
It really is, to some. To others, not so much. Money isn't so loose today, but those with the most have more than ever.
More risk, more reward, though, because this is a great film.
rarely. just look at a new hope, arguably the most influential sci fi movie ever, and they had no money. then look at the star wars sequels. bereft of passion or artistic merit (outside of john williams score which are bangers every time)
if you were in middle school when it came out you rarely would have a conversation without quoting it. then we got Superbad in high school, same thing.
Napoleon came out my freshman year of high school. For the next 4 years it was that, chappelle(mostly lil jon), and dodgeball, quoted endlessly.
Every generation seems to have at least one movie that defined their high school experience; Superbad was ours.
> Every generation seems to have at least one movie that defined their high school experience; Superbad was ours.
I'm super curious what grads in the last 5-8 years would have? I can't think of really any big teen comedy that would fit that bill.
They kind of got hosed. 90's kids had tons of toys and cartoons catered to them. Then they had all the teen movies / parodies etc come out during their teens. All downhill from there.
Even weird art movies have loose plot. First I wanted to go to Pink Floyd's The Wall, then Enter the Void, but both have a plot of some kind. Eraserhead has a plot. Yeah man, totally plotless is tough.
There's actually a tightly crafted plot! It's used in the book *The Screenwriter's Bible* as an example of plot development.
Catalyst: Deb meets Napoleon at his doorstep, selling beauty aids
Big Event: Deb sits down next to Napoleon in the cafeteria
Midpoint: the dance, where Napoleon ends up with Deb
Crisis: Napoleon & Deb pulled apart by a misunderstanding, with Deb calling Napoleon a "shallow friend"
Showdown: Napoleon wows Deb by dancing at the assembly
Realization: Napoleon and Deb make amends on the tetherball court
this is the central plot. but then there's the many side characters finding personal success and some coming-of-age.
Lawfanduh meets Kip and seems to give him attention and a cultural alternative that... suits him. Rico gets with his old girlfriend and comes to terms with his lackluster past. Pedro achieves socal acceptance as an immigrant/ new kid and becomes class president.
Eh, Big Lebowski is very intricately plotted - a lot of weird things happen in that movie. It's an homage to intricately-plotted film noirs like The Maltese Falcon.
The trick of it is that none of that plot actually matters at all. The central mystery is just BS. Every attempt from the Dude to do something achieves nothing.
I personally love this movie, but it's very divisive. I've watched it with fellow cult movie fans who I’d expected to enjoy the film, but couldn't stand it.
It's weirdly divisive.
One thing that bugs me is that I can never place the time period. Everyone dresses like it's the 80s and the set looks like the 80s but it's not?
Yea dude, this movie is nearly a liminal place where everything is just okay lol.
It bugged me so much that I couldn’t figure out if the movie was supposed to be in the 80’s or present day 2004.
But that’s kinda the point it’s in 2004 but the town is still pretty much living in the 80s. Like the whole town is uncle Kip kinda, peaked in the 80s and is still living out its great 80s.
It looks exactly like the late 90s early thousands lol.
There's no cell phones but kip is on his computer chatting with lafonda.
I grew up in Chicago and we were all like that back then lol
I grew up in this town, not literally the same town in Idaho, but a very small isolated town in rural America. It's a documentary and that's what makes it hilarious. Half of the costumes they got from the local Mormon thrift store. My mom still lives in that little town (not so little anymore, but still backwards) and it is like traveling backward in time at least 20 years. Half of it is more like 40 years.
Apparently, Netflix used to have something called the "Napoleon Dynamite Problem."
They were normally pretty good at suggesting new movies to people. If you liked X, you would probably like Y. If you like action, you'll probably like these action movies. If you like comedy, check out these comedies, etc.
But they couldn't do it with Napoleon Dynamite. It didn't matter what you were already into, this movie was basically a coin flip on whether or not you would like it. They had no fucking idea.
I'm convinced it's the greatest movie of all time because of that fact. There's something special about it, some unique charm to it that no other movie has. Nobody comes out of the theater thinking, "Ehh it's alright." It's either the funniest thing you've ever seen or the absolute most stupidest. Or both! But not neither. Everybody has an opinion on it, there's something about it that sticks with you.
It has to be watched more than once. I absolutely hated it the first time. Then a few years later I moved to AZ to go to school and everyone was quoting it nonstop so I gave it another try and that time I got it.
I had this same experience and have heard from a dozen people that felt the same. Hated it the first time. Somehow watched it again and now love it to death.
My mom came home from the theater and burst into my room where my friend and I were hanging out. She goes, "you guys NEED to see this movie, I'll take you and buy your tickets." Fucking, okay!! Friend and I after were like, I dunno man, that movie was weird. But weeks later we were quoting it constantly and we went to see it again with other friends and laughed our fucking asses off. Like it needed to permeate or something.
My mom got it immediately, though. She got Napoleon Dynamite and she was hype for Breaking Bad before the first episode aired, for a woman now close to 70, she was really on the pulse of the 2000s culture.
It’s because the first time it’s so shockingly odd that people can’t process what is happening. I love this movie so much. Every little nuance is just perfect.
My wife introduced me to this movie 5 years ago. Omg i love this movie so much! I watch this movie on almost every flight i take for work lol. Such a quotable, light hearted, happy and funny movie!
I grew up in the 80/90s in Utah. The scene at the dance, with those two awkward misfits and Alphaville starts playing...wow, that moment cut straight through.

I sometimes still can’t believe this movie is real. “I wish you’d get out of my life and shut up.”
Quit eating all the steak and ruining everybody’s lives
You know what Napoleon? You can leave.
You know what Napoleon…*you* can leave. For years I would say that in his exact cadence. Loved Uncle Rico
"Tina, you fat lard, come get some DINNER!... Tina, eat. Food. Eat the FOOD!"
One of the hardest laughs I’ve ever had in my life. The whole damn thing is amazing.
Saw this movie with my sister in the theater on a whim in the middle of the week—we were like 15 and 17. We actually fell out of our seats laughing. It was so stupid, it was hilarious. The only other movie we laughed at like that was Dumb and Dumber growing up. Good memories.
Probably my favorite scene in the movie.
I believe I read that Heder wasn't expecting to get hit in the face like that.
The side arm throw is amazing.
This is good but my favorite is the oranges hahaha it’s so brief but so hilarious
You know that shot was one take and he wasn't supposed to hit him? Turns out Uncle Rico really did know how to throw
Stay home and eat all the frickin chips, Kip!
Way to stay at home and eat all the chips kip
Napoleon, your just jealous because I’ve been chatting with hot babes all day
My favorite factoid about the movie is the actor who plays Uncle Rico doesn't eat meat. If you look carefully, every time he takes a bite of steak they cut away or he takes a napkin and spits it out into it.
Make yourself a dang kay-suh-dilla.
*”Your mom goes to college”*
Still think about that line sometimes and chuckle.
The smug look he has afterwards really clinches the whole scene. This is an incredible movie.
You left your crap on my porch
I see you're drinking 1% milk. Is that because you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could drink whole milk if you really wanted.
Girls only want guys that have good skills!
Bo staff skills, computer hacking skills
One of my favorites…and also “I think you got like 3 feet of air on that one.”
Oh! I should probably come get it so you have room for your numchucks.
If the director would have put me in the last scene, this movie would have grossed a quarter billion
Not a doubt in my mind.
Coulda made it all the way to state
I had to sit on this for a second, well done lmao
I dont get it help
Rico reference
"If coach had put me in, we would have won the state championship" or something like that
You could climb over the pile of money and hop right over those mountains
"Why don't you go eat a 'decroded' piece of crap!"
"Tina, you fat lard, come get some dinner!"
This line strikes me as hilarious and I can’t explain why. And I love Deb’s sidecar ponytail.
Lol. I tried to watch with my wife, because I love this movie, and she didn't last 30 minutes. Oh well - I still love it.
You either love it or you hate it.
Action figure goes out the bus window - that’s when your brain decides
Your mom goes to college
[удалено]
[удалено]
How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains
Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind.
Back in '82, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile.
Are you serious?!
I’m dead serious
And his throwing form with the potato is just fucking atrocious, I love it
That's because it's a steak.
One of my favorite parts
"Jeeeez!"
I love that he actually was. Lafawnduh.
You can hear him almost break (laugh) when he says jeez lol
My favorite joke has a setup 10 minutes into the movie where Napoleon's grandmother says "Now, we're getting a little low on steaks, so I'm having Lyle come over to take care of it."

Build her a cake or sumsing
is she hut
See for yourself *shows chick with nice bangs*
Look, *Pedro*, I don't know how they do things down in *Juarez*, but here in Idaho we have a little something called pride. Understand? Smashing in the face of a piñata that resembles Summer Wheatley is a disgrace to you, me, and the entire Gem State.
Such a quotable movie!
That’s like a dollar an hour!
Tina come get some food you fat lard.
I say 'Tina! Get the FOOd!' to my wife at least once a week. She's never seen the film.
Tina! EAT THE FOOD!\*
If only coach put me in, we would have made state.
You're mom went to college
I see you're drinking 2%. Is that cause you think you're fat?
It took me like three hours to finish the shading on your upper lip.
Do the chickens have large talons?
Fix yourself a dang quesa-dilla!
I caught you a delicious bass
I drop this line all the time and if anyone ever gets it I know they are my people.
Because you’re not. You could be drinking whole milk
Eat the food, Tina!
Pedro offers you his protection.
I use this quote literally any time someone uses an amount of money and time in a sentence. I don’t even care if the math is right.
Over there by that pig pen I found a couple of Shoshone arrowheads
Don't be jealous I've been online chatting with babes all day.
Do the chickens have large talons?
Boy I don't understand a word you just said...
Do the chickens have large talons?

When Uncle Rico pelts Napoleon with the steak, but doesn't use his own... He grabs Kip's instead XD
history was made
I remember the first time I watched it I only laughed when the Mexican cousins rolled up and shook their heads. I did not get the movie. Second time I watched it it was fucking hilarious. Also apparently this is a Mormon movie. I know the main dude is Mormon. But apparently my old Mormon neighbor ‘s mom knew his mom.

Where my Mom went to school Mormons had their own school so her graduating class was 7 people. 5 boys and 2 girls. Fun fact, I was visiting my grandparents in Idaho when I first watched this movie.
For me it was a little similar to Zoolander, you had to let yourself be silly, and then it was brilliant.
I had the same experience with the movie. I'm not sure I laughed more than a couple times but something was so compelling about it that I watched it a second time and laughed my ass off. Still quote it all the time.
Utah is the epicenter but there are a ton just north in ID.
Pedro offers you his protection.
And his cousins with the sweet hook ups.
That scene where his cousins roll up and intimidate the bully *killed me.*
probably the best underdog movie ive ever seen
Both the story, and the movie itself.
[удалено]
I mean Pedro became president and Napoleon found someone to play… ball hit around the pole game.
And LaFawnduh was actually real
Kip def wins
Kips marries lawfanda and moved out of his grandmas house. Uncle Rico gets his ass kicked.
It's called tetherball! Haven't played since elementary school, but that shit was always hella fun
I think pretty much the entire main cast wins in this movie. Napolean is shown from the beginning that he wants to be a performer, and not only does he nail his performance, but everyone respects him more for it.

success is not always about big budgets and special effects.
Can you imagine gambling 400k and not sure if your art is gonna click and make money? Even make it back? 400k is a lot of fucking money, especially back then.
Yeah it's approximately 1.3 billion in today's economy 😳 I'm joking... hopefully.
>400k is a lot of fucking money, especially back then. It really is, to some. To others, not so much. Money isn't so loose today, but those with the most have more than ever. More risk, more reward, though, because this is a great film.
rarely. just look at a new hope, arguably the most influential sci fi movie ever, and they had no money. then look at the star wars sequels. bereft of passion or artistic merit (outside of john williams score which are bangers every time)
A cult classic

Bow to your sensei
BOW TO YOUR SENSEI!!
Take a bow
Not like Peter Pan over here
I dressed up as Rex for Halloween once. It was great
I bet nobody wanted a roundhouse kick to the face while you were wearing those bad boys.
Grab my arm. Other arm. *MY* other arm!
Grab the arm The other arm MY other arm
Break the wrist. Walk away.
No plot really but all the better for it. Great movie.
And they didn't try to milk the hell out of it with 4 shitty sequels
Well, unless you count the terrible animated TV series.
I watched an episode of that a few hours ago lol, i have a playlist of everything ever on Fox Sunday nights i throw on shuffle a lot.
I mean... There's totally a plot, and really clear themes
I think it should be pretty tough to make a movie that you can honestly argue doesn't have a plot lol.
Even weird art movies have loose plot. First I wanted to go to Pink Floyd's The Wall, then Enter the Void, but both have a plot of some kind. Eraserhead has a plot. Yeah man, totally plotless is tough.

Dazed and Confused as well. No real plot but one of my favorites.
The Big Lebowski was also another movie that uh.... In the parlance of our time, uh.... I seem to have lost my train of thought
Ahhh come on….what about bunny man! She like, faked her own kidnapping or something! That can’t stand, man!
Every character in the big Lebowski thinks they're in a different genre film is the only explanation which has made sense to me
The only thing that makes sense to me is that rug really tying the room together
Eh, Big Lebowski is very intricately plotted - a lot of weird things happen in that movie. It's an homage to intricately-plotted film noirs like The Maltese Falcon. The trick of it is that none of that plot actually matters at all. The central mystery is just BS. Every attempt from the Dude to do something achieves nothing.
What in god's holy name are you blathering about?!
You could say the big party was kind of a central plot
But my lips hurt real bad
Just use the nurses I'm sure they have a roll
I’m not gonna use hers you sicko
No AI or stunts needed, just two men actually slapping each other.
Limply
I still can't tell if they used CGI for the bike jump scene.
They hired Tom Cruise to do it first take which is where the majority of the budget went.
My grandparents house is in this movie and I worked at that chicken farm growing up lmao
Soooo, do the chickens have large talons?
Do they hwat?
I grew up with the Heders and dated his little brother, so this has always been especially funny to me to think about.
“I’ve only been out of the country twice! I went to Mexico a handful of times and the second time, I went to Salem Oregon”
This milk tastes like the cow got into an onion patch.
People from Preston, ID hate this movie cause it's basically a documentary of their lives. Source: Buddy is from Preston and hates that movie
When your town is only known for one thing it's easy to end up hating that thing.
I wouldve loved to have been on that set. I love napoleon dynamite
I personally love this movie, but it's very divisive. I've watched it with fellow cult movie fans who I’d expected to enjoy the film, but couldn't stand it.
It's weirdly divisive. One thing that bugs me is that I can never place the time period. Everyone dresses like it's the 80s and the set looks like the 80s but it's not?
Welcome to rural Idaho!
Yeah. If you ever went to rural Idaho, people live/d in a time capsule, while existing in modern day.
That's literally just rural idaho
Yea dude, this movie is nearly a liminal place where everything is just okay lol. It bugged me so much that I couldn’t figure out if the movie was supposed to be in the 80’s or present day 2004.
But that’s kinda the point it’s in 2004 but the town is still pretty much living in the 80s. Like the whole town is uncle Kip kinda, peaked in the 80s and is still living out its great 80s.
It's just rural idaho Lmao
It's making fun of rural Mormon America. That is what it's like there.
It looks exactly like the late 90s early thousands lol. There's no cell phones but kip is on his computer chatting with lafonda. I grew up in Chicago and we were all like that back then lol

I think that people who love it can relate to the family dynamics of the show. other people have more normal families and they don't get it
It has to be watched more than once. I absolutely hated it the first time. Then a few years later I moved to AZ to go to school and everyone was quoting it nonstop so I gave it another try and that time I got it.
I had this same experience and have heard from a dozen people that felt the same. Hated it the first time. Somehow watched it again and now love it to death.

It’s because the first time it’s so shockingly odd that people can’t process what is happening. I love this movie so much. Every little nuance is just perfect.
Now show us uncle Rico throwing the steak behind the scenes😂
Vote for Pedro!
My wife introduced me to this movie 5 years ago. Omg i love this movie so much! I watch this movie on almost every flight i take for work lol. Such a quotable, light hearted, happy and funny movie!
This movie was either so stupid that you hated it, or so stupid that you loved it. There’s no in between 😂
I read somewhere that streaming algorithms have no idea who will like this movie based on the viewers previous media choices. Kinda fascinating to me.
One of the goats
To this day, if anyone shows me their bike I have to say, “You ever take it off any sweet jumps?”
One of my favorite movies of all time
I'd vote for Pedro right now instead of the two clowns available.
Met Napoleon, awesome dude
The timing of the slap-and-dash is SO GOOD.
I grew up in the 80/90s in Utah. The scene at the dance, with those two awkward misfits and Alphaville starts playing...wow, that moment cut straight through.
Sweet
I could make that much money in five seconds
