You won't learn anything here...
By PaulaWestwood (397 reviews) from Ashton-Under-Lyne , 06 Mar 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Napoleon Dynamite was a wierdly odd, off the wall, funny movie. So why on earth did John Heder get tied up in this tosh. Along with BB Thornton, he deserves six of the best from head, because apart from one or two quite funny moments, this is a padded out 'loser' film that has no heart, no real story and is about as interesting as an algebra class (Sorry Miss White - I enjoyed them really)..
Most of us like films where the underdog comes through, but at the end of this you won't care less. I know this might seem over critical, but John Heder deserves better, this isn't it.
I would play truant from this, and give it a miss. Unless you get detention and have nothing else to do, forget it.- Was this review helpful to you?

A Barrel Of Laughs
By Katrina (43 reviews) from Stockport , 11 Sep 2011I've got to say, this is one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time, and I can't believe it wasn't on at the cinema. I can't understand why some people have given it poor reviews - it's laugh out loud hilarious!
When Jon Heder's negative lifestyle gets too much for him, his friend gives him a telephone number to ring that will 'help' him. When he rings the number he realises it's an enrolment programme for a class. Presuming it's a 'confidence building' class he goes along, but it turns out to be a lot more, and changes his life in more ways than one... Billy Bob Thornton steals the show as the doctor. A man who is a player, has lots of secrets, tells lies and is deceitful, and can turn on the charm when needed, plus a lot more besides...There is also an appearance by Ben Stiller as one of the doctor's ex-students who went astray.
Besides the film, I also thoroughly enjoyed the extra features on the dvd - very funny:p- Was this review helpful to you?

Dark delight
By JHawk (102 reviews) from Edinburgh, Scotland , 20 Apr 2010This is the one that got away! Disappearing at the box office in hyper-speed, this is from director Todd Phillips, director of Old School and most recently The Hangover. He is a talented chap with an eye for structure and comedy of all varieties (subtle, slapstick, wordplay etc) that all fuse here in this quite surprisingly good movie. Jon Heder plays a parking attendant with some serious confidence issues who signs up to Billy Bob Thornton's self-help class. What ensues is a vicious, nasty, thoroughly entertaining plot in which teacher and student do batle for the romantic attentions of Heder's neighbour. It is wincingly anarchic but gripping stuff, with an excellent cameo from Ben Stiller. Unexpectedly brilliant.- Was this review helpful to you?

Not up to much
By a customer from Northants , 02 Jun 2009I found this film very brash in parts and only occasionally funny. The idea was good, but I am afraid that it didn't pull it off. Probably the younger viewers would like it- Was this review helpful to you?
