just saw this a couple of days ago.

I enjoyed quite a bit. Very Wes Anderson/Todd Solondz; at times hilarious and at times heartbreaking.  

and many a quotable line.

Got poor reviews but I sure would like to check it out.  


  Did anyone see Saved?  I sure wanted to but didn't make it.

Saw the free screening of Napoleon Dynamite...
It's one of those frustrating, 6-7 out of 10 movies. It does nothing to piss you off, and does nothing to impress. It has its moments, a cheesy ending and the endearing-character archetype. It's so average it hurts. I hate movies like this. I like coming out of the theatre feeling either grossly violated or grossly indulged. This movie occupies that unsatisfying limbo in between.

I heard Saved! was terrible.  

I thought that what made ND good was the way it balanced sympathy/ "endearing character archetype" with an almost horror at the lead character's profound, all-encompassing awkwardness.  Only some of the time are we laughing WITH him, most of the time AT him.

I haven't see it yet, Matt...but Laura did and loved it. I trust her opinion since she's a lot like myself. Can't wait to take a look.

Finally saw this on Saturday and loved it. I even got a free watch which I passed on to someone who loves ND with her whole soul (wink wink.) I think this is something everyone can take something away from.

Plus, I loved the moon boots!
