Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Beautiful, moving film.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I randomly saw this series on hulu, i had to click the link and watch. OMG this show is fantastic!!!! To the negative reviews, aparently you do not watch cartoons, nor do you enjoy good wholesome humor. I loved Napoleon Dynamite as a kid when i saw the movie.... Years later, this shows up... SO MUCH BETTER! This show is fantastic.

Honestly, I was excited to see this ever since it was first announced, how ever when i watched the first episode it grabbed my attention as just another immature family oriented TV show with only some minor dark humor and plots. This show went the way of the later family guy series being calm and timid rather then up your face with comedy. If adult swim decided to make this show it would have been a lot better that is why i gave this a 1/10 stars because the entire series was just a huge bore and kind of mocked at me as an adult for watching it. If this series had a little more dark humor and some genuine human interaction and less unrealistic moments i would be more into it.

If you liked the movie, or King of The Hill, you will probably like this show. The characters are awkward and goofy. They make some funny references to the movie, like when Napoleon tries his dance act to distract an angry crowd. When the crowd ignores him, he says "I don't even know how that worked the first time" The show is not rude, raunchy, offensive, like the Family guy, etc - you can watch this show with your kids. I was glad to see Fox try another animated series without all that junk. Also has faster-paced laughs and some social commentary like other modern animated series. The pilot episode was absolutely hilarious, and also Ligertown. Most of the voice acting is spot-on, and I enjoyed hearing Jemaine Clements as Professor Koontz. Hopefully it will get renewed - I look forward to seeing more.

Where to begin? It's been 8 years since the movie and not a sign of anything Napoleon. FOX then announces that they are doing an animation. Why the big gap? because any network and studio know that Napoleon is a money pit. The Movie was a fluke. The movie and show are about social rejects for social rejects. The only people who seem to enjoy both the movie and the show were those creepy kids who picked their scabs & nose and ate it. We were tortured for years after the movie came out with losers quoting unfunny lines yet being accepted by other losers. The first episode of Napoleon scored 4.4 in ratings but that "glory" was soon to pass as within half an hour and the second episode only scored 3.3 that's a massive drop and nearly 2 million viewers. Time has yet to tell how much lower the 3rd episode has fallen in ratings but the future seems clear that Napoleon is heading the way Of Allen Gregory. I'm sure after the 6th episode has aired it will be the last we hear of Napoleon Dynamite.
