Very mixed opinions, turn your brain off and it's actually quite fun. The MOST insane movie i've ever seen, ending was nice.

The similarities to Napoleon dynamite are obvious, however this film has much more of a cut and dry story. Still mad as fuck though.

The bit of wearing an earpiece but holding the phone while being on the phone got me every time.

i'm not a huge fan of napolean dynamite so going into gentlemen broncos i wasn't expecting much but i was really surprised when i ended up loving this movie some of the humor is weird but it's one of the funniest things i've watched in awhile if you want a good laugh i'd definitely recommend
