Why I don't like Napolean Dynamite

People keep asking me: Don't you think Napolean Dynamite is the funniest movie?

No, it's not the funniest movie. In fact, as funny movies go, this one's about as funny as... oh, let's say... those educational movies you watched in Jr. High.

And that's only because it seems to be stuck in the 70s.

Now, that's not to say there aren't any funny parts in it, but the people who made the movie (who are undoubtedly laughing their way to the bank right now) couldn't make up their minds.

Either make the movie about nothing at all and fill it with useless humour (which most of the movie is and I can appreciate that) or give it some sort of story line and fill it with applicable jokes (which happens from time to time).

Napolean Dynamite, however, goes abolutely nowhere for much of the movie, and then suddenly breaks from the humour to rush the storyline along to try to reach a certain point. Make up your mind and go with it.

I think the movie would've even been better if they just ended it with Napolean's dance number and left the audience going "what? that's the end of the movie?" That would've been funny. But trying to resolve everything right at the end just to give it the resemblence of having a storyline is idiotic. I'm sorry.

And for those of you who don't agree with me (and apparently there are lots of you), I'm right and you're wrong.

I have no qualms about saying that.
