      Yeah, how old are you? When you are 50 years old, you would want to slap someone silly for making a comment like that.
      Seriously, it's okay to enjoy humor, but you have not seen shit, good or bad, if in fact, this is the "most important" recommendation in life.
      There is much more serious matters to deal with and the younger generations don't know it yet, but you guys are going to be screwed Since the boomers generation, all have been pampered, but the storm is coming, you'll learn what is important and you"ll remember that asshole(me) warning you.

      Yeah. Immediately what came to mind is comparing something like this to The Hangover and its somehow worse sequel. I never get to really know the characters in the Hangover, and therefore I absolutely hate them because they have no redeeming qualities. Then the film just proceeds to show you wacky situations over and over and over. It's not funny or interesting. Its just like oh look here's a tiger and here's mike tyson. Isn't it fun and wacky how crazy these situations are? I absolutely hate it, and the braindead fans of it as well. Napoleon Dynamite on the other hand, takes you in to the lives and feelings of the characters. There's nuance. Subtlety. Every aspect of the situation is felt. Napoleon Dynamite takes its time and makes love to you. The Hangover tries too hard to get you in the sack, humps your leg for a minute, and its pathetic performance is done.

      i know! he cherished his friends more than a fanny pack. I guess the lesson here is that after being bullied or having a bad day, you need your friends who can cheer you up. His friend called the bully a loser and asked if his neck is alright and that made Napoleon or Seth feel a bit better. But it made him feel a lot better when he bought the wig for his other friend and gave the kid at a bus a small gift. I guess that if you are tossed with lemons, make lemonade. Or choose doing something good and you'll feel better in spite having a bad day. Being Jared Hess a Mormon, it's clear why he wanted to teach people about good values.

    As a kid, me and my little sister loved this movie. When we were done with a movie we always went through the special features and we watched this a couple times, comparing it to the full film, a little disappointed, a little unnerved by the differences but altogether grateful to know how the masterpiece Napoleon Dynamite was conceived.

    The story I’ve heard is that he made this short film when he was a film student, and then he submitted it to a festival. After the screening at the festival a producer approached him and said he loved it, and asked if he had a full-length script to do a full movie. Jared didn’t have a script but said, “yes!” The producer said, “great, send it to me.”
    Jared went home and wrote the whole script in one sitting to send it to the producer, and that eventually became the movie.

    The natural instincts for anyone watching this short film is to compare this to the full length feature film. But this is the predecessor and the drawing board for characters and a story that will live on forever. I enjoyed both this and the film. I think Pedro in the movie had a more mellow personality and a bigger impact on the movie - something that I liked even better than the Pedro+Gilbert combo here. Also, the brother Kip, the uncle Rico and Grandma, and Napoleon's love interest (forget that girl's name), Rex Kwondo, Lafawnduh were all great additions to an already great story. Thanks for posting this.

    Hell of a short film. There's no wonder why it made it to theatre. So good to be reminded again of this memory thank you to who it may concern. I seen the film a few times. One time was at a camp on the projector screen. The place was old so it added to the nostalgia of the film. The next morning there was a girl taped to the tree outside the mess hall. Added even more to the experience. That whole year was bomb.
