| 39. I don't think anyone has a problem with your difference of opinion... |

But they do have a problem with you assuming that the only reason they find humor in this movie is because you think that they feel that Napoleon is beneath them.
I love the movie, am watching it right now, and am laughing my butt off. Why? Because I was an awkward, gawky teenager in the eighties and I completely identify with Napoleon. Indeed, I would wager that most if not all of the people who have posted in this thread identify with Napoleon and aren't making fun of him, but are empathizing with him, with growing up an awkward teen. It has nothing to do with just rural America. It's more about being the "nerd" or "geek" in highschool and sharing Napoleon's experiences, and finally being able not only to laugh at Napoleon, but also at one's self.
At least that is my experience.
