I missed this thread the first time around, so here goes...

I'm just like Thump, among others. the first time i watched it, I thought most of it was pretty stupid and too far out there to be that funny, but the more i watched it, the more i loved it. the kids loved it too and in no time we were quoting the movie left and right. (and still do) my first-grader made me proud when he came home from school the next Monday, and when my wife asked him "How was school?" ...right on cue - "Worst day of my life, waddya think!" there are so many subtle things that if you don't catch them, things that happen later on seem stupid but are really hilarious (like at the end when he tells his g/f he caught her a delicious bass - that references back to something earlier, but by itself seems more stupid than funny)
Agree - this will probably end up much like Office Space. if you can relate to characters in the film, you will love it.

I love the comedies that are so ridiculously dumb that they're hilarious. There's at least 10 different scenes/quotes in ND that would make me crack up just thinking about.

"Well, I have all your equipment in my locker. You should probably come get it cause I can't fit my nunchucks in there anymore."
