Why the fuck did anyone like this?

At the time it felt fresh and the lol so randum :) humor wasn't so played out. The relative success of this movie brought that kind of humor into the mainstream. It's a movie which was really of its time, would never watch it these days.

It was kino you zoomer incel.

This is in the top 200 movies of all time possibly top 100

This movie is such a perfect example of what it means to be a middle American. Even older generations I know identify with it. Me, my parents, grandparents were all reminded of our school days.

If you aren't from Middle America you won't understand.

this movie is a certified npc test

good movie. i like that the maincharacter is unpopular for completely justified reasons unlike every other high school movie

This.

This movie is really great. I hated it when it came out and refused to watch it because of how annoying people were in school with quoting it and I thought Napoleon was a dumb fag, but I was 15 so that makes sense.

I've seen it a few times over the years and it's perfect because it's just totally sincere and not mocking, very well made.

TALONS?

HOLY SHIT ZOOMER, GO TO BED!!!

me on the left

I still like it. People found love, happiness and recognition. I'm not sure what the fuck Napoleon found other than a good game of tetherball.

I seriously went to a part of Montana today that had no reception in it's town center. I was actually confused. Being from Montana myself? I felt really shitty at cursing my lack of reception.

I sort of hated myself in that moment but also wondered how it could seriously be possible in the mainland that you could find a place that did not have cell phone reception in the middle of town, at one of two restaurants. I needed to call my girlfriend and tell her I was okay.

One hour there and I wondered why I needed the fucking thing.

Sounds comfy.

Where in Montana is good to live? That town sounds a little too small for my taste though.

Oh hell yeah.

Leave in disgust

coasters will never understand

how you know it wasn't named after pedro the lion?

multiple threads a day for a movie from 15 years ago, I'd say it resonates

Wisdom doesn't even have cell phone service and they only like outsiders that have our accent. I am not kidding they are mean cattle ranchers and will only accept kind people. Fuck around there one moment and it's not going to be good for you. No reception for miles hint hint.

OTHERWISE
Missoula if you're super liberal and want to be a moron pretending you live in Seattle (born and raised there, don't like it)
Kalispell if you're middle-road conservative and just happy to live in a good city filled with friendly people (seriously cannot knock them, they're really nice)
Helena if you're extremely liberal and want to behave like an ass in a wannabe DC
Billings if you want have an urban feel but stabbings and meth
Great Falls if you want to be depressed but hopefull because that city has serious potential (just doesn't know it)


I mean, do what you will. It's my take and I can give you others. Whitefish is pretty cool too but it's basically Canadian Boulder, CO.

Didn't mention Bozeman actually come to think of it. It's filled with Californian transplants and has been for a long time.

Bozeman if you want perfectly tasted butter, by our finest buttersmiths, in a place than apparently makes wine, and maybe apples because that's totally what we do also who's your agent, prepared by a choir of small celebrity look-alikes that happen are also here as there parents for this most precious day of summer.

Misspelled on purpose by asshole. Totally was.

Try to explain it to a coaster, then.

GOSH!

Knowing where you're from makes it easier for me to know how you can adjust. I'm almost certain that's on an immigration form somewhere but seriously. There is no fresh start in Montana. The winter WILL drive you away if you're adverse to cold. It will get you no matter how much heat you have. Nothing can protect you from the bitter cold of states that have the northern winds.

He just did. “It is good because it perfectly captures high school life for a good chunk of America.” Shit like that happy hands club and the weird kid doing reports on Nessie the Loch Ness monster and drawing ligers and shit really do happen and exist in small town America. If you don’t understand how someone can relate to a movie and enjoy it because it reminds them of a good, funny, somewhat weird time in their lives, then you can’t be helped.

Reddit: the comment

No, no, you don't understand.
How does this differ from living on the coasts?
The plains and farmland were all that seemed different to me, and that's just the setting.
When you imagine growing up on the coasts, what do you imagine?

>When you imagine growing up on the coasts, what do you imagine?
Faggots.
Faggots everywhere.

Why do you believe that?

I don’t imagine “growing up on the coasts.” It’s not something that ever interested me. Why would it?

Has it ever occurred to you that responses like this appear entirely insane to anyone that hears/reads them?

It's called dry humor
Has nothing to do with
>lul so random
Only brainlets didn't like this movie

I watched it like 15 times because it was on during the era of peak kinography. Free satellite

It’s insane to not dream about living on the coast? Get over yourself.

I never really thought of that. Usually in movies the main character is attractive, sometimes athletic, but still is a loser for some reason.

because it's very relatable, as someone who went to high school in utah. i watched euphoria and didn't relate to it at all because of all the pooskins and drugs

>>I still like it. People found love, happiness and recognition.
lol you talk like a vagina

it was sweet

Nice to see that you found the time to flaff out of yours.

>take glasses off main character
>OMG YOU ARE THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PERSON IN SCHOOL

California is shit
Lived there for about 3 years total in northern California and that's the best part of Cali
Absolute garbage heap the whole state
Felt like I was living in Mexico 90% of the time with all the wet backs everywhere and their beanspeak
Horrible cities, outrageous taxes, beaches are overcrowded and polluted, fires starting constantly
Homeless and potheads everywhere and liberals rule supreme
And this was before trump
I can't imagine how it's like there now
Never going back for as long as I live

I enjoyed it. Quirky humor that worked. Wes Anderson if he wasn't such a faggot.

it's funny, comfy, original, quotable, and has a great soundtrack
the dance at the end is still classic

It actually reminded me of several people that I tried to protect as a jock and they just got too fucking weird. I'm glad they founded the smelly club (no they fucking stunk). It was the anime club and well, even the strange female students didn't join them because they wouldn't take a goddamn shower.

I dated one of the chicks that wished they weren't so retarded for my entire senior year. She played minish cap basically all fucking day and I just decided to bring my DS one day. since she was in my cooking group.

Literally went there to meet girls goddamn you bitches (I also took shop) small engine bitches like what the fuck. No but seriously, if you actually shower and take care of yourself rather than being a twat?

Whatever happened to Jon Heder?

i live close to where this movie was made. ask me a question

just like my japanese anime mc.

I think the depressing nature of the small town and the people in it resonated a lot with people

Too white for the diverse environment

It’s my favorite comedy of all time. It makes me laugh without relying on toilet humor unless you count Uncle Rico smelling the plunger as toilet humor. It also has a real nice love story with 2 white losers falling in love and a good best friend arc with Napoleon and Pedro. One thing I always hate about Coming of Age films is they always have a really super hot 10/10 chick dating a 7/10 loser but Napoleon Dynamite actually made it feel authentic with having Deb only be just a little out of Napoleon’s dating range. All and all I consider this a 10/10 film just for that dance scene alone. God I can go on and on about this gem

Same. I feel the same about dumb and dumber.

Meh. I didn't hate the movie but it was wayyyyyy too dry for me when I first saw it.
Definitely not a laugh out loud kind of movie. I appreciated the groundedness but it was grounded to the point of being boring outside of the particularly "quirky" shit.
Being a coaster probably has something to do with it in the sense that it's more difficult to relate, but I just think it's not my type of humour in general (though I enjoy my share of dry humour). The memeing of the unfunny shit in the movie didn't help. I think being spoiled on the more absurd elements also significantly hurts the experience. I can believe the creator wasn't a pseud, but the fandom sure are.

People got tired of every movie featuring cool and witty characters. Kip for instance is a national treasure. Everyone loves kip. Before this movie he simply wouldnt have been allowed to exist in any cinemaverse.

In my experience the only people that dont like it either love or lived in a town just like it.

Seems comfy imo everything looks like the Goodwill.

>lol so randum

you're retarded my man
either watch it again and come back or get that algernon treatment
