Napoleon Dynamite is reportedly one of a small number of movies almost impossible for Netflix to predict how you will rate.

I still haven't seen it but Netflix says I would give it a 3.8 #napoleondynamite

@twophrasebark: Yeah, it's definitely hard to predict.

My great-niece and great-nephew came for a vacation and watched it several times in one week. The first time I watched it, I thought it was stupid and annoying. The second time I watched it, I thought it was great. The third time I watched it, I thought it was so brilliant, I wanted to buy a "Vote for Pedro" t-shirt. #napoleondynamite

@twophrasebark: My sister and I loved it when we saw it in the theatre. My wife took to it the second time around.

The funniest thing was when I was doing gang diversion. I was working at a half way house and the kids pissed me off so I said screw it we're watching one of my movies. A bunch of hard ass crips and Viet gang members all sat there slack jawed, the quietest I'd have ever seen any of them. They didn't laugh, they didn't clap, they just sat there and watched. At the end they didn't even want to do yard time every single one of them wanted to watch it again. #napoleondynamite

@bobert: I'm completely the opposite. I loved it the first time I saw it, but it's rewatch value is close to zero. Every time I rewatch it, it seems to be worse than the last time, and a little part inside of me dies. #napoleondynamite Reply
