Mark U If I had not seen Napoleon Dynamite, it might be a different review. But I did see ND, so there. The best scenes are the "imagined" movie clips of 'Yeast Lords' with Sam Rockwell. He is at his Sam Rockwell best in both characters. Priceless. See this movie just for that reason alone. I like Michael Angarano (Sky High), but he may have been miscast here. Napoleon Dynamite did a good job of making the lead character rise from the bottom of the social food chain. That happened here, but not as believable as ND. Everything else works for me on the same uncomfortable level you get from ND. Ensemble cast is amazing. I think it was the perfect movie to follow ND. Why did it bomb at the Box Office? See it. Here endith the lesson. -UKE Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Nick H It has to be said, this is THE example of the critics just not getting it. To someone who watched this film, preparing to write a review, this seems like an unsubtle, childing film that swims in a lake of absurdism. But to a movie viewer watching a film for the right reasons, this is a masterclass in world-building escapism. A movie that ditches the boring and restrictive rules of criticism to create an experience to be kidnapped by. A truly unique David and Goliath story, with the most wonderful of heroes. Jermain Clement schools this script, playing a class of person already bizarre in the real world (sci-fi novel writers), but showing that with a real understanding of comedy, there really is no limit to how far tropes can be taken. Don't read the reviews, just watch the damn film. You'll have a great time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Alma A Whimsical. Best movie made in 15 years. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Sarasota C Silly, funny and down right bizarre in places...embrace your inner weirdo & enjoy a jolly good romp, possibly on a flying deer ✨🦌✨ Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review John S Very absurd and heavy parody but I laughed out loud several times, and not at the scatalogical which is much less than some reviewers would have you believe. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Audience Member TLDR: too much that came across as quirky for the same of being quirky hurt this film (in place of being a bit more of a human story) I really enjoyed Napoleon Dynamite and so was interested in giving this a try. I came away feeling a few things. The positives: - There are some genuinely hilarious moments - The style and characters portrayed in many ways feels similar to Napoleon Dynamite - the warmth between people who tend to be a bit discarded by, or ridiculed by, society. - Much of the writing and acting is good. Clement in particular was very funny. The negatives: - Primarily, the type of charm in Nap Dynamite was drowned out by the feeling that this is weird for the sake of being weird, which I dislike. - This film felt a bit more like the director was making fun of the people portrayed, vs being sympathetic. I think he meant to be sympathetic, but there were a few scenes where it did feel like he was making fun of the people portrayed (many of whom are portrayed as being more small-town, but genuine, people) - Hector Jiminez's character in particular felt like it was in this category. The director had him smiling in a big awkward way most of the time. - The story had a few too many side stories that didn't become anything. The core of the story was there, but the pseudo love interest between main writer and the girl, and between the mother and the angel, were not well developed. They didn't feel natural at all, even for "awkward" people. - There was some dumb humor, for sure, that was over the top. I ignored most of, and credit the actors for not playing it up / over-acting, but the snake that has diarrhea wasn't funny and the girl kissing him with vomit on his face was just too much. It felt like it was trying to be a Something About Mary scene but failed completely. It was just gross. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
