Even at the time it was polarizing. And yeah it basically was filmed in the style of a home movie. Movie cost 400,000 to make and made almost 50 million as a fun fact
When I was young my hair was longer and it poofed out. Add to that glasses and me being awkward and a bunch of people would call me napoleon dynamite. Definitely contributed to me not liking it that much.
I remember seeing it when it made it to DVD at some point and not making it all the way through the movie due to not enjoying it. I never tried to rewatch it after the fact.
I rewatched it a few years ago. Didn’t much care for it. But remember when it first came out (I was around 20 at the time) and liked it.
On a side note; I totally owned the Huffy Sledgehammer bike just like the one in the movie. I had gotten it when I was around 13 years old. I got it out of grandma and grandpa’s garage and sold it on Craigslist for $100, when it should have been worth like $25.
Also, yes. I did take it on some pretty sweet jumps.
That’s the movie that someone shown me saying “It’s hilarious, funniest shit I’ve ever seen”, then I sown my friends and no one enjoyed it…
Unironically, someone asked me if this was a “home movie”.
Don’t feel too bad. The movie is a bit infamous for being tricky to recommend. I got it recommended to me and absolutely loved it.

Thats genuinely tragic, I’m sorry

You should have embraced the heck out of that.
I’ve had that with Crippled Masters.

It’s more a group movie.
I laughed slightly at it when it was on TV and it made an aunt thing it would be a good Christmas present
