I completely agree with this film not being "gotten" by everyone. Although I don't know how.
It's a total piece of anti-cool coolness. And the Napoleon Dynamite example is spot-on.
I've actually seen it twice and got more jokes the second time. Once again, I can see how some of the jokes are going to go over the head of the less attentive audiences. Also, some of the jokes are not as straightforward as their MTV sketches. But it still maintains all the deadpan delivery style and Crazy Monkey pacing.
The film moves around nicely, so there's always something to keep your attention. And you're never sure what's going to pop out of the heads of these small-town 'heroes'.
It's fun and tight, and gosh even has a bit of heart to it.
