    Napoleon Dynamite. Tried watching it a few times with friends who insisted it was funny. I just found it more annoying than funny.

      I don’t really like the awkward genre. The Office is similar; I can see why people like it but it’s not really for me.

      That’s fair. My experience with the movie when I was watching it was similar. When it was over my wife and I looked at each other and we both were like, “what the fuck did we just watch?”

      The next day we found ourselves quoting the movie and laughing our asses off about it. It seems that we needed time to process it in order to appreciate it.

        I watched it once to give it a chance and eh, I probably chuckled a few times. It just wasn’t my humor and felt boring. The dance was the best part but honestly it was more how Jon Heder played it so earnestly, which I get was sort of the point. I still didn’t really find that funny necessarily, just more entertaining in general.

        With that said, I still occasionally quote it to my SO because I know they liked the movie and the quotes are pretty memorable.
