My two teenage kids went on and on about this movie, so I finally sat down and tried to watch it.


I just couldn't do it. My gawd this has to be one of the worst movies ever made.


Anyone actually sit through it?

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be or as good as I was told it would be.

It's next on my netflix list.  It LOOKS funny because...  well...  I recognize certain aspects of the character I saw in the ads.  Like Beavis & Butthead, my hope is that I'll enjoy it because the character is an exaggeration of personality types I've dealt with.

Of course, not me.  A friend.  Yeah, a friend.

Did your mom and dad agree with the movies you liked as a teen?  Mine sure didn't.

That's the right idea.  All the characters are just so independent of reality that its just absurdly funny.

Its funny in the same fashion as "King of the Hill".  The characters don't tell jokes, they are jokes.




(I think everyone can tell I love this movie :o)

Did you think it was terrible because it had no plot(resemblance of a plot begins halfway through the movie) or simply because it wasn't funny.  I may have immature tastes but I thought it was hilarious.  Maybe I'm just amused easily.

I liked it but my wife found it hilarious. She's a school psychologist and said many of the kids she works with reminded her of Napoleon.

Lack of plot was part of it. That, and I didn't think most of it was funny and it was just so damn slow. Oh well... I think I'll go feed my llama.

Post Impact is pretty bad.....

Only thing good was the good looking chick, or chicks, and the tits... I only watched it to the point they decide to go outside in the -54°C cold with just a sweater pants and a reletivly light jacket, and a ski mask..
