One of the few comedies that you can watch with your family and not worry about something inappropriate popping up. I'm sure we all suffered somewhat like Napoleon, so we're all able to identify with this movie. A really delightful comedy.... Full review

If you like dry or dark humor, you should get a big kick out of this movie. I know I did. If you are between 12-20 you might even like it more because this deals with high school kids primarily.... Full review
