You won't learn anything here...
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. -

Unspeakable
This needless Jon Heder vehicle is deeply, irreparably dreadful. I wouldn't (nay, couldn't) recommend this utter dross to anyone, even if its director had my testes wedged in a nutcracker. It's crudely plotted, poorly acted, insulting and entirely bereft of real comedy. I honestly can't remember the last time that I saw a Hollywood comedy this devastatingly poor. And that, surely, is saying something.

Let’s begin at the end: the credits sequence is the funniest, and the most outrageous finale in ages. I’ve rarely seen an audience sent out on quite such a high. It’s such a spectacular coup, it puts a flattering gloss on a surprisingly ingenious but nevertheless uneven black comedy. This is the third movie in six months produced from a screenplay by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, and it’s so much better than either Four Christmases or The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past that... Read more
