I know this movie has been talked about to death, and as a result I avoided seeing it for a long time. Finally checked it out and can honestly say I am a convert. I went to junior high in Idaho, and senior high in Wyoming... so I can relate to the "quaintness" of it all quite well.

The satire and humor of the movie was great, and I also like that it managed to be funny without any cursing whatsoever (that I remember) yet still managed to seem "edgy". How many comedies these days contain no swearing and yet don't seem saccharin? Anyway hats off to the director... and I'm looking forward to Nacho Libre (same director).

Anyway, I realize this movie polarizes viewers in much the same way South Park does (which I also love btw). Basically you either "get it" and enjoy it, or you don't.

I own this movie....much funniness.....big thumbs up to the director. My 8yr old loves this movie. I'm glad we can watch it together due to the lack of cursing.

I remember when this movie first came out I was thinking "That looks SO stupid, I will never waste my time on that" but man I was wrong when my friends made me watch it, I thought it was hilarious. I was a junior in high school when this came out, and within two weeks of its release, everybody was walking around school saying "friggin IDIOT!" and "GOSH" and "Can you just bring me my chapstick?".

I really wanted to see it when I had only seen the previews.. but when I ended up seeing it, it didn't live up to my tastes. Ah well.

I lost interest in it about halfway through. It got boring, wasn't funny to me, typical MTV movie.

yeah its a good movie, the only thing that annoys me is how people are suddenly experts on what mythilogical creatures are, and in "talent shows" they do that dance, and keep quoteing the damn thing.

be original people!
