I'm the anon whose favorite movie is Napoleon Dynamite. What did you think of it?

Omg I LOVE it. Has to be up there with some of my favorite movies and I only watched it a few months ago.

It is really funny (definitely my kind of humor), has an impeccable stylistic vibe, and most of all, it just exudes a lot of heart. The characters feel like super believable high schoolers, and the way it meanders through each plot-line helps put that to the forefront. High school is, after all, a lot of awkward moments that generally hold small repercussions, but feel a lot more significant. I think the film really nailed balancing that aspect with its quirky humor.

To me it is up there as an example of a coming-of-age film done right.
