I really loved Napolean Dynamite. I enjoyed the performances and the costumes and I laughed through the whole movie. The half full theatre (suprising, I thought Spider Man 2 would steal all the crowd!) broke into applause at the end of the movie. Remember - vote for Pedro! ---

Maybe the people who couldn’t get into _Spider-Man 2_ decided to go to _Napolean Dynamite_ instead. What else was playing? That said, I’ve heard good things about _Napolean Dynamite_. It sounds like a movie I’d like. Unfortunately, it very likely won’t be coming to our cinema. And I rarely rent movies, so I’ll have to wait until it’s shown on Showcase or Bravo. ☹ Anyhoo… ---

I saw the previews and laughed. I have no clue what the movie’s really about but it looks good. Unfortunately, it’s not out here yet, but there’s a sneak preview the 14th at the ritzy theater a few towns over, which my girlfriend and I plan on attending. Glad to hear it’s good. ---

I concur, I say no deep racism in this absolutely quirky, goofy movie. If stereotypes are racist, well, okay, but writer’s everywhere develop characters based on stereotypes.
