i just saw this for the first time yesterday and i enjoyed it, but then im the kind that like the rediculously stupid comedies.
I did like it much better than meet the fockers, but then i hate ben stiller and the focker joke was old after watching the commercial for the first movie

I don't like this movie for any of the superficial reasons that have been stated so far. I disliked this movie until I started this reply. In writing my original reply, I went back to my critical analyzation skills that were honed and sharpened like crazy by my English professor last semester. In so doing, I came to realize that my first impression after having seen this movie was quite wrong. Suffice it to say that the central message of this movie is that of "loser-cum-hero", Napoleon, Pedro and Kip being the losers-cum-heroes. I thought initally that the way in which they achieved their heroic was self-defeating, but it isn't. Not a good movie, not a bad movie, just watchable.

My review:

Waste of money.

This movie was really bad. It's not that I didn't get it or don't like weird movies, there just wasn't any real dialogue and the single lines were all old cliched type lines that I've heard before in other places. I was really looking forward to this film because I heard so much good about it but it ended up being pretty boring.

Finnaly more people agree, this was the most overhyped movie of 2004.

Funniest PG movie ever

Just watching the commercials, the movie looks good in a stupid childish way. Once you see the movie, it's even dumber than the commercials look, but it's so stupid and filled with stuff you used to say in 4th grade that its hilarious. I love the part with the bike and the ramp, but I won't go into detail for those of you who haven't seen it yet.

I rented this movie because of two commercials-one about the tater tots and one about Pedro's bike. Having seen the movie, I know now that those were the only two vaguely comical moments in the entire movie. All my "emo" friends loved it because, omg, it was so random and quirky. It, like Garden State (a far superior movie), was made specifically to be enjoyed by the intellectual punk-flavored college student, and it just sort of blew. There was nothing original in it and it was terribly forced. Don't ever spend money to see it.

the bike jump ha ha that was about the only time i laughed out loud. I only watched the movie once just a few days ago and it was ok. I have to watch a movie a few times before i can really form a strong opinion of it...i would watch it again.

I haven't seen the movie, but apparently I remind people of Napoleon. >_<

I hated the movie.They was trying to hard to make it funny,but in the end just blew.

Finally got around to renting he DVD. I thought it was a freakin' hoot. Gosh.

A movie with no sex, no violence, no cursing.
how refreshing.
It may be a shock to some people's system.

I graduated from HS in 1984 and this movie struck my funny bone.
I laughed. I howled. and I gaffawed.

It's definately a movie you either "get" or you "don't get."
My girlfriend didn't "get" it. But then she's almost 10 years younger then me.

I must say that it helps if you have a few drops of geek blood in ya.

Yes, be careful, if you have any friends who tend to like things because it's cool to like it, don't see this movie with them. It will only frustrate you. "Are you seriously laughing because a dorky white guy is dressing in hip-hop attire? You haven't seen that a couple hundred times before, done better?"

Heck yes this movie is good.
