i thought the movie was so funny. i know a few people who stopped watching it after 20 or 30 mins. they said they hated it. i thought it was dumb at firest, but you have to watch the whole movie. :D

ya I agree but honestly the more you watch it the funnier it gets, cause you see and hear all the little things.

well, i'll admit i didn't like it when i watched it, but the lines it gives you are just amazing. i like it for it's quotability, and well, it's absurdity.

I just got done watching it for the second time. Its funny, but the movie as a whole is just terrible.

My sister-in-law and I are diving my wife batshit by continually going "Gosh!"

I think I might like to see napolean try to pole vault...it would be glorious...not in a good way, but in that kind of getting joy out of another's humiliation type thing. actually I think I would settle for just seeing him run. Cause his tetherball ability is phenomenal :yes: Better yet, a Pv contest between Nappy, Kip, and Uncle Rico since he can throw a football a quarter mile....You know what get Napolean's grandma in there, she might be able to take them all. Alright enough rambling...but that's what this movie does to your brain. Anyways we all know that Kip is training to be a cagefighter, so I guess that ends chances of his pole vault stardom.
