That's the movie that someone shown me saying "It's hilarious, funniest shit I've ever seen", then I sown my friends and no one enjoyed it..
Unironically, someone asked me if this was a "home movie".
Don't feel too bad. The movie is a bit infamous for being tricky to recommend. I got it recommended to me and absolutely loved it.
Even at the time it was polarizing. And yeah it basically was filmed in the style of a home movie. Movie cost 400,000 to make and made almost 50 million as a fun fact
Thats genuinely tragic, I'm sorry
When I was young my hair was longer and it poofed out. Add to that glasses and me being awkward and a bunch of people would call me napoleon dynamite. Definitely contributed to me not liking it that much.
You should have embraced the heck out of that.
I laughed slightly at it when it was on TV and it made an aunt thing it would be a good Christmas present
I've had that with Crippled Masters.

I remember seeing it when it made it to DVD at some point and not making it all the way through the movie due to not enjoying it. I never tried to rewatch it after the fact.
It's more a group movie.
I rewatched it a few years ago. Didn't much care for it. But remember when it first came out (I was around 20 at the time) and liked it.
On a side note; I totally owned the Huffy Sledgehammer bike just like the one in the movie. I had gotten it when I was around 13 years old. I got it out of grandma and grandpa's garage and sold it on Craigslist for $100, when it should have been worth like $25.
Also, yes. I did take it on some pretty sweet jumps.
