Napoleon Dynamite

When I went home this summer I felt a bit out of touch with the youth/young adult culture because it seemed a recent film and it's success had managed to influence EVERYONE. I saw shirts all over West Ed that said "vote for Pedro", people were quoting lines like wild fire and here I was, little ol' Canadian me not having a clue! So I decided that if I ever wanted to feel like I was a Canadian again I'd better watch this film so that I could relate with my people. Sadly I never got a chance while I was in Canada but when I got back to England I spotted it at Blockbuster on the previously viewed film shelf and made a snap purchase. I didn't actually get to watch it until last Thursday and I wasn't sure what to expect. I had heard so much about it, that it was hilarious but not the norm. I brought it to one of our youth group socials and we ended up watching it and I loved it!! Seriously, I thought it was brilliant. The first half hour I was cringing a bit inside because it's pretty slow and very random and I was thinking that everyone was going to criticize me for a bad movie choice but they all thought it was great too. The best part has got to be the dancing at the end, if nothing else the whole movie is worth watching for that one part.

In conclusion I give Napoleon Dynamite 3 thumbs up!

What...Jenny...my old TC1 leader...I'm touched that you remembered me (I saw your comment on Jennie's blog)...

I have nothing to say, except for the fact that I'm glad I was there to teach you what "spooning" was...That sounds ridiculously wrong, but it's not as creepy as it sounds..
