how do i rate a movie higher than 5 stars

"Hey, Napoleon. What did you do last summer again?"
"I told you! I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines!"
"Did you shoot any?"
"Yes, like 50 of 'em! They kept trying to attack my cousins, what the heck would you do in a situation like that?"
"What kind of gun did you use?"
"A freakin' 12-gauge, what do you think?"

I find Napoleon Dynamite to be one of the most entertaining movies about basically nothing, ever.

Sublime sweetness. Within its endless plains and its paths to nowhere, the world of Napoleon Dynamite tells a story of discovery. No one changes or becomes who they really are, and acceptance is not on the mind of the characters. The people wandering this shaggy landscape only seek a partner for tetherball.

I made a video essay about this a little bit ago. I think it's one of my favourite comedies ever and continues to make me laugh despite how many times I've watched this thing. Only giving it 4 because, as much as I defended this in the essay, it really does lack a story and a sense of emotional attachment but who really cares it's hilarious.

Watching this movie with a group of people who haven’t seen it before is probably one of the greatest experiences you can have, like, as a human being.

My girlfriend loved the movie, totally dug the humor, and said I reminded her of Napoleon. This is the best day of my life.

Misunderstood Masterpiece. You can keep your Tree Of Lifes and your Boyhoods because Napoleon Dynamite teaches more about life, love, friendship, and acceptance than any other film ever made. Not only did this move shape my teenage years, my bizarre comedic voice (with help from Tom Green) it also got me into indie film. It's the prefect coming of age story, and as far as I'm concerned a perfect movie.

Bizarre, surreal, voyeuristic, and brilliant.

Napoleon Dynamite still pulls off all kinds of sweet jumps.

“Knock it off, Napoleon! Just make yourself a dang quesa-dilluh!“

honestly so boring up until the dance number

the grip this movie had on me my freshman year of high school

overhyped. i don't want to watch a movie multiple times in order for me to like it

JT I caught you this delicious bass

still adore this film. the music, the tone, the humor. it could have been a lot more obnoxious but it's mostly still quotable and such a comfort film for me. the ending tetherball scene with the promise playing is still so damn funny to me and the perfect crescendo to a film like this.

I thought I’d love this but it was so dull. I vibed with his dance routine though, that was sick ngl

A masterpiece. 

Beautifully scored. Brilliant cinematography (the wide shots with the aesthetically pleasing color palettes are a personal favorite). Compelling plot line. Oscar worthy performances.

The director has somehow managed to fit every movie genre into this one film. Romance? Action? Drama? Comedy? Science fiction? Musical? Sports? You bet. Every single one. While some may see it as “too much” or “terrible”, I would consider this to be a stroke of artistic genius. Each genre, captured in separate subplots, seamlessly blend together in the end, forming a grand finale worthy of a best picture nomination. 

The true beauty of this film comes not only from the aforementioned components, but the accurate retelling of Midwestern American life. The balance of monotonous everyday experiences and strange high school antics is perfectly portrayed.

Favorite movie hands down.

Back when this came out my best friend saw it and rang me straight after to tell me they'd made a film about me.

I was skeptical but I went to see it and he was correct. He looked just like me (pre baldness), sounded like me, walked and even ate like me. Quite surreal but absolutely hilarious. I just wish I could dance like him.

Having just re-watched this it is still as funny, if not funnier than I remember.
