Movie Review: Napoleon Dynamite

I really wanted to like this movie. Why?

Described as an "indie favorite" and "Nominated for a Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2004," I thought I would validate my perception of myself as someone with discerning taste if I did.

Fact is...I hated it. If I could give it 0 stars, I would. I turned it off after 20 minutes. It seemed vapid and empty. I couldn't get into it.

Is this a referendum on how "unhip" I am? Perhaps, but I can deal.
