It’s kinda weird and boring and the characters are quirky enough to be funny but also relatable in a vaguely nostalgic, innocence of mid teens kinda way. No one is good or bad and the climax is Napoleon dancing in front of the whole school so his friend wins the student council vote. And then everyone clapped.

It’s like the Big Lebowski, where the absurdity gets funnier with each watch. Definitely fun to rewatch with friends when you see the jokes coming.

Eat the food, Tina

Thanks for the refresher. I think I recall Pedro running for class president or something. I'd totally rewatch it with friends if I had any.

Everyone has "that movie" they're kind of ashamed to admit they've never watched. The Big Lebowski is that movie for me. I know I really need to make time for it one of these centuries...
