    Good vs. Even Better!

    by Duberto

    You may not have realised that we needed such a thing - but you'd have been wrong: this Kiwi "Napoleon Dynamite" is simply grand! Loren Horsley is too likeable for words and Jemaine Clement has big star written all over him too. Very funny, deeply sweet, and leaves one with a big smile. Loved it!

  • Must Go!

    it's like Napoleon Dynamite but with talent

    A droll, funny, silly film that captures the awkward parts of falling in love as well as any romantic comedy I've ever seen. Horsley is incredible.

    This fillm is visually stunning and will keep you thinking, not to mention laughing. If you don't like being made uncomfortable by onscreen awkwardness, this might not be for you... but personally, i know life can be very awkward, and i enjoy seeing that acknowledged by filmmakers. The music's good, too... check out the phoenix foundation as well!
