Love it or hate it. I am in the latter group. "Napoleon Dynamite" just does not deserve its rating of over seven out of ten on IMDb. I do not get it. I kept wondering while watching this film, is it time to laugh now? Slow. Very slow. All of the characters are deadpan. No expression. No humor. No nothing. The subplots involving Napoleon's uncle and brother are extremely boring. As for Napoleon himself, I will admit there are a few redeeming moments in his journey through high school. Napoleon is almost likable. The idea of making a movie about nerds and misfits has potential. "Dumb and Dumber" did it right. "Napoleon Dynamite" misses the mark. 4/10
