| I know it isn't new, but I just saw it for the first time the other night, except for maybe the first 30 minutes. I really liked it. It was real enough how bummed out and awkward those guys were, but funny too. I can't really think of any other movie quite like it. It was pretty unique. I heard it did quite well, which I think it should have. Better than 'American Pie' and other such movies, which were OK, but not as real. |

I saw it in the States before it became a cult phenomenon, and laughed myself sick. I don't think I've seen American Pie all the way through, so I can't compare it to that franchise, but Napoleon stands alone. |

Yeah I saw it with my brother in an artsy "filmhouse" where the small, sold-out audience were all proud of ourselves, and we had contests to outlaugh each other on the more subtle jokes. I was the first to laugh a few times, and I could tell my brother was jealous.
Great movie. My favorite part is the way the principal pronounces Pedro. |

| One of my favourite parts is Rex Kwando's commercial, where he explains what he can teach. One being "the wisdom of a man", at which point it shows him with a girl in a head-lock. |
