At the time I watched it, I thought Napoleon Dynamite was a mediocre film. The movie seems to get more and more hilarious as time passes however, in large part due to its very, very quotable nature.
It was said best earlier in the thread that a large part of the comedic value comes from the serious charcters in serious situations doing and saying completely ridiculous things things. It's not the greatest movie ever, but it was entertaining and has provided me with a few giggles further down the road - which is worth something since most movies nowadays are forgotten as quickly as I walk out of the theater or they are put back in the box.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
