same target audience and marketing. quirky and idiosyncratic.

Two quirky, independent films. I am not sure why, but I enjoyed Napoleon Dynamite more.

HA. Both movies are decent, but Juno is just an all-around more put together film.

I'm not going to call Napoleon Dynamite a good movie, but I think there are much more worthy targets of the sort of vitriol it gets on the internet. "An American teenage-oriented comedy that's fairly subtle, devoid of penis jokes, and that doesn't talk down to the audience and tell them when to laugh? KILL IT!" With Juno the manufactured "quirky, offbeat" thing is the only point. It just hammers you over the head with it and it's insulting.

Gosh! This is an easy one for me...
