Hollywood What If Chapter 37
[Note: If you haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite, you skip the bracketed paragraphs. Well, the plot of Napoleon Dynamite is simple, and there's no twist or anything. It's a pure pop edy, so...]
Kazir and Reese fous and sat down. They held their pop with excitement. They were excited to see their movie. They were here to have fun.
"Dude, I swear this movie is funny."
Kazir heard a murmur behind them.
"Then why haven't I heard anything about it?"
"Dude, I promise you. You will ugh when you see this movie. It's awkward yet quirky, I don't know how to expin it. Besides, we already saw Braveheart twice. The ending was not satisfying at all, he just shouted 'freedom' for five minutes!"
"That's an exaggeration, and Braveheart is based on a true story."
"All right, all right. Let's just watch the movie, okay?"
Billy and Walce were college kids. They were movie goers and loved to watch movies every week.
Yesterday, Billy was curious when he found out that another movie was released to the theater. He didn't know anything about the movie, but he decided to go see it.
When the credits rolled, Billy was smiling from ear to ear. The movie made him ugh, and that was enough for him to invite his friend to watch it with him.
[The movie opened with Napoleon. He was an introverted and socially awkward teenager. He was riding the school bus on his way to school.]
"Is he the protagonist? He looks really dorky."
"Shh, just watch, okay?"
A few seds ter, the audiearted ughing at Napoleon and Kip. Their bination was funny.
[Napoleon had three retives. The first was his brother (I'm not sure about this one). Kip Napoleon. He was a guy in his thirties who usually chatted oh his girlfriend. Like Napoleon, he was also a nerd.]
[Sed was Napoleon's grandmother. She was an active woman who liked to ride motorcycles in the desert. She had an act because of it.]
[Third was his Uncle Rico, who lived in a camper van. Napoleohe most part of movie arguing with his uncle.]
"Haha, this is funny!"
Napoleon's fight with his brother and uncle made them ugh.
[Napoleo Deb and Pedro. Pedro let Napoleon use his bike, and unfortunately Napoleon crushed his balls.]
"This is stupid... Pfft--"
[His first meeting with Deb was funny. Especially when Deb showed Napoleon a picture of a model.]
Reese giggled as she watched the se. She didn't expect it to be so eaining. When they shot that se, they kept their job serious.
[At school, Napoleon struggles to fit in with his cssmates. However, he finds so his love of drawing... His drawing was ugly.]
"Pfft--ha-ha! I 't believe he got a girl to go to the prom with a drawing like that!"
[As Napoleon and Pedro campaign for css president. They face many obstacles, including Summer's popurity.]
[However, the duo mao wihe student body. With Napoleon's memorable dance routine].
This se was simple, yet the audience giggled. Perhaps there was something unique about Napoleon's dance.
[In the end, Pedro was elected as the school president. Napoleon got ce to show off his dance moves. And Kip decided to move to Detroit with his girlfriend LaFawnduh. Napoleon also got closer to Deb.]
The movie ended and everyone cpped.
"Woohoo! Nice movie! Nice movie!"
The theater was only about 40% full, but everyone ehe movie.
Billy and Walce left the theater in a good mood.
"Hi, guys. I'm just here to ask you a few questions about Napoleon Dynamite. From the highest rating of A+ to the lowest of F, how would you rate this movie?"
There were usually people who interviewed moviegoers after they had seen a movie. They were from the emascore.
"A!"
"A+. I reend everybody see it!"
Billy and Walce rated it pretty high. They were eained, so they rated it pretty high.
"Thanks, guys."
Ramon was an employee of emascore and his job was to ask people their opinion about movies.
This time he was asked to interview people about Napoleon Dynamite.
'600 questionnaires. 47 gave it a B grade and the rest were A's and A+'
The average was rated A.
"With that reputation, the movie will probably have an increase iers week. Of course, everything depends on the box office."
As long as the movie had a positive ihe theaters would milk it.

These days were the hardest for Kazir Grey. He could not sleep. He thought the movie was doing well. But he khat Fox Searchlight Pictures might think otherwise.
