Are the kids in your house who got this for Christmas running around quoting this movie? Even my too cool older teen boys are hooked on this.

Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

I have not seen it yet but my brother has and says it's so stupid that ya just gotta watch the whole thing.

definitely stupid. But in an endearing way that kind of grows on you. It's one of those either you love it or hate it movies.

The commercials are so horrible there is no way I am going to see it. It looks like Joe Dirt meets Animal meets Road Trip (with bad actors). I figured they were pushing it so hard cuz they lost their ass on making it and are now trying to make up for it.

Didn't see Animal, but the other 2 you mentioned were funny as hell...

I didn't like Joe Dirt or Road Trip, didn't see Animal. Not likely they lost anything on this. It was a super low budget flick that turned into a sleeper. Caught on with a bunch of hs/college aged kids and I think surprised the studio. Some kids saw it more then once. I think the producers saw this and decided to push the video. They advertised more for it then the movie and I believe the video sales were very good.

I read the movie cost $400,000.00 to make.

It has made a huge progit.

"Are you going to eat your tots"?

I thought the movie was pretty funny.

Honestly the last time someone said this is a "must see" low budget flick. It was the Blair Witch Project. I thought wow, all these people can't be wrong so I bought it without watching it first. I watched it and threw it away LOL

Shocks.....pegs....LUCKY
Ever take it off any sweet jumps?

This movie is making a buttload of money (sort of like the buttload of gangs at Preston High).....

Merchandising is really taking off too.....I have my "Vote for Pedro" t-shirt.....I'm such a geek

I hated Blair Witch.

So did I.....just stupid...in a bad way, unlike Napoleon which is stupid in a good way!

There was a kid at my house yesterday with a Vote for Pedro t-shirt on. Cracked me up.
Yep it cost $400,000 to make. Made 48.5 mill. or so before the video release so somebody is doing the happy dance. I saw it was written and produced by a 24yo and his wife. That's what it reminds me of. Something my sons and their friends would write.

They're actually from Salt Lake City.....Utah people.....I tried to start a thread on it way back when it was in the theater, but I guess I was ahead of my time (FOR ONCE)!
