Occasionally I watch a movie so that I can have some context for the movies that folks say they’ve been watching. So it was, with amazingly low expectations, that I rented and watched Napoleon Dynamite. My expectations dipped even lower when I saw that it was an MTV production. I figured I would be satisfied if there was even a hint of plot or humor.

It appears that my expectations were *far* too high.

I’m completely unable to guess why this movie was such a hit.

On the bright side it had Lazlo Hollyfeld in it.
