Jon Heder, Aaron Ruell, Efren Ramirez, Haylie Duff, Jon Gries and Tina Majorino.

It's one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It's a comedy about a teen who is a nerd and has a bizarre family, but yet he helps his friend become class president.
Every scene is hysterical.

A must rent at your local video store.

I Watched this movie earlier today as well but thought it was not really funny, pretty good film but not funny. His brother was the best character, great acting for this type of film.

I thought it was hysterical because of how they came across on screen, how goofy, and stupid. The brother did make a good character. They were all so different, yet all goofy.

That is an accurate portrayal of a geek, I know because that kinda stuff happens. Pushed up against lockers, girls dating you because of there parents only to leave you standing there. Napolean was more real than he gets credit for.

Even the thing where Kip's like you're just jealous because I'm talking to all these hot babes. It's so real, and the dial up only having a certain amount of hours. Accurate but not funny.

I liked it though

Yeah, I enjoyed this.  I didn't think it was fantastic or anything, but I certainly did enjoy it - couldn't ask for much more.

I rather enjoyed it. Very offbeat.

I dunno if anyone else has this problem, but I cant go a day at school without someone quoting this novie.  I thought it was really good,  but it is getting real old.

There are lines to quote? Hmm, I can't think of any.

Well I think it's more of the way things are said, the lathargic "Napoleon" dialogue rather then what's said. People did the same thing at my school, not so much anymore, though.

Poor Napolean didn't have any skills...
A girl wants a guy with skills... Numbchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills... You gotta have skills.
GAWD! Tina come get some ham!
I still love this film.
