What a lovely surprise of a film. Was high school really so much like hell? Napoleon hangs in there, and as he muddles his way through life with a repressed older brother and a perpetually adolescent uncle (while grandma is away), exudes the beauty of friendship in a performance that is\u00a0its own reward\u00a0\u2013 and he doesn\u2019t even seem to notice.<\/font><\/p>\n It was so refreshing to see such unselfish characters in\u00a0this small, odd little movie. It\u2019s funny. I felt like nothing was ever going to really happen, and then when it does, all I could do was smile. <\/font><\/p>\n Not sure what the religious imagry signified. Any ideas out there?<\/font><\/p>\n I overheard some young kids\u00a0about 12 and 13, tell their mother on the way out of the theater, \u201cSee, Mom? I told you it was funny.\u201d \u201cIt was really good.\u201d And mom agreed.<\/font><\/p>\n Alas, I am a non-teen, and I enjoyed it, too. <\/font><\/p>\n <\/font>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What a lovely surprise of a film.
