SAM ON A QUIRKY MOVIE THAT GOT A LOT OF PRESS BACK IN THE DAY

NAPOLEON DYNAMITE – "It's pretty much my favorite animal."

This movie almost reaches BIG LEBOWSKI distinction—great lines,
re-watchability, unique characters.  Where it falls short—and I never
thought I'd praise BIG LEBOWSKI for this attribute—is the story.
There is none.  It doesn't build towards something and has no
beginning, middle, or end.  That being said, this was my giggle movie.
In that, I consistently giggled throughout this movie and still
giggle when thinking about it.  Something to be said for the giggle
factor.  Yes, I'm getting tired writing this.

SCENE TO REMEMBER: Knocking down the Summer piñata.



Mom's note: Did Sam and I make Bob watch this movie?  I think we did -- and he loved it!  Definitely a Cassel movie because we too were giggling throughout. Actually, I think Bob was doing his laughing-so-hard-it-turned-into-a-coughing-fit thing.

Anyway, Sam gave Bob the t-shirt -- pretty obscure for a truck driver to wear.  I'm sure the other guys on the road thought he was a very light-haired Hispanic or something...
