I'm just wondering since I know how many Brits like dry, bizarre, unique and random humor and this movie has a lot of that. Do you guys over in the UK like it? If so, what's your favorite scene? Who's your favorite character?
Save the trees. Wipe your ass with owls!
yes love it, any scene with uncle Rico in is hilarious especially when he throws the steak and when Deb is taking his photo :-D what's yours?

I'm British and I saw Napoleon Dynamite at the cinema back in 2004. It's very funny and my best friend just bought a VOTE PEDRO T-Shirt. Yes I think the British love Napoleon Dynamite and it's a shame they never did a sequel.
My favorite character is Kip because he likes technology and my favorite scene is when Kip says: Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day.
I also like the time machine scene, lol.
Why aim at the English? It's not just the English that enjoy dry sarcastic humour, anyone with a good sense of humour does though the majority for some reason prefer laughtracks (it tells them when to laugh, how brilliant!).
Here's a list of dry humour shows (ongoing/ended/cancelled).
Arrested Development, My Name is Earl, Scrubs, Schitt's Creek, Trailer Park Boys, Corner Gas, The Office (US), Shameless (US), Parks & Rec, Scream Queens, Ash Vs. Evil Dead, Black Jesus, Todd Margaret (a crossover of US/UK), You're the Worst, Flaked, Fargo, Outsourced, Married, Happy-ish, Sirens, The Brink, The Crazy Ones, Running Wilde and so on.
I want to point out that I vastly prefer the US versions of The Office and Shameless over the original UK editions. To be honest, I didn't like the UK versions of The Office/Shameless for a number of different reasons rather than "Oh my God, I can't watch anything Breh-esh!".
Speaking of which, I was very disappointed that ITV cancelled Jekyll & Hyde as it was a series I was following and loving it. Sigh. I hate getting into new shows and then bam! It's cancelled.
RIP IMDb.
Please define a "good sense of humor" in my opinion a good comedy has some clever humor, not stupid humor which is what this pile of dung brings us. There is nothing clever here. We get that he's a nerd, the nerdiness wears off very quickly. Most of this trash repeats the same things over and over, if you continue to laugh I highly doubt you have much of an IQ at all.
shareYes, I really enjoy this film. It's got plenty of rewatch value, it's a fairy tale but with a perfect blend of wry, sardonic humour. My favourite of the wave of quirky coming-of-age teen comedies.
shareI'm English and I love this film, saw it many times when it came out and just rewatched for the first time in at least 10yrs and it's still just as great as it was back then
shareNo.
shareLove it.
