...because this became a teenage cult movie. Adults just don't get it. Just about every teenager I've talked to loves the movie and has seen it multiple times. They identify with Napoleon. Some have even memorized the lines. The local mall sold out of "Pedro for President" T-shirts months ago. Napoleon is a hero to them because he's a nerd, get's harassed and doesn't let it bother him. He's so uncool - he's too cool to care. In the end he wins. It doesn't get much better thn that. How was your high school experience?
