Napolean Dynamite struck me as a movie that had "deeply intellectual" pretensions but that was, once you thought about it, quite stupid. Sort of like "Saving Private Ryan."

I have never, ever, seen a convincing argument as for why Napolean Dynamite is an intellectual movie. I thought it was pretty stupid and borderline racist.
