I enjoyed Garden State immensely. Have not seen the others (and probably won't.) That is all.

You'll like Team America. You may well like GS, too, but it's much more on the sappy side. Haven't seen ND.

Napolean Dynamite is boring and stupid
Garden State can be really cheesy at points
haven't seen Team America, but would be willing to be that it'd be so absurd that It would be a laugh riot.

I'm a fan of Garden State.

I've heard good things about Napolean Dynamite, but have not seen it.

I chuckled at some of the scenes in the trailers for Team America, but it didn't make me go see it.

Ryan, I have buttons (remember that at all? Yeah, I'm a dork). Who should I leave them with to get to you?

I've only seen Napolean Dynamite...I found it hilarious but people seem to either hate it or love it. I unfortunately cannot think of anything that similar to it though (maybe American Movie...but that was a documentary).

If you like Lost In Translation see Garden State
If you like Royal Tennenbaums see Napolean Dynamite
And obviously if you like South Park see Team America

Nap Dyn is wall to wall funny. Just brilliant. I laugh out loud just thinking about it.

Gaden State is sappy, overwrought, poorly acted, disjointed, and over-all a steaming pile of poo.

Haven't seen Team Am.

i walked out of napoleon dynamite, but i also snuck in. so it's not like i really invested anything in it. garden state was okay, but not worth the hype. team america was very funny, but never really came through for me. oh well.

i'd say wait until friday and see the incredibles.

of the two that i've seen:

if there's a girl present and she's kind of ditzy, simple or 15, watch garden state.

if none of those apply (and they fucking shouldn't, dude), napoleon dynamite.

i laughed

and yeah, i'm leaning toward this or Team America. But like South Park's 'animation,' I can see the marionette thing getting old quick. Might have to just do a coin toss to determine this.

and chase, I'll have you know, this girl is a ripe 16 years of age.

I wish I had the right amount of wit peppered with 'mean' to make posts like this/say what I really mean.
