Title: Not the worst I have seen...
Review: This movie came highly recommended to me. It was not the worst movie I have seen, and I did sit through the entire flick. However, Napoleon and his bunch were much too flat. If it was only Napoleon that was deadpan, then the quirkiness of the others may have worked. The uncle was the only interesting character. About the only nice thing I can say is that Napoleon put forth a fairly accurate portrayal of a student with Asperger syndrome that also has some serious emotional issues. He should have been picked on more at school for the film to be accurate. I may use a scene from this movie when presenting on Autistic Spectrum Disorder because Rain Man was so overrated. As one reviewer suggested to me, "This movie grows on you." I doubt it, but only time will tell. If you want offbeat comedy, try Office Space instead.
