Hey...it was a good movie.

 

[Edgar]

If it wasn't for the movie, Idaho will not be really a spotlight in anything.

 

[xombine]

Except potatoes. Oh yes, potatoes. Boil 'em mash 'em stick 'em in a stew.

 

[Vigilante]

Hey...it was a good movie.

It was a horrible movie, but it did have lots of great one-liners.

Loved Napolean Dynamite, and I had no clue where it was filmed until I read Maddox.

 

[Direwolf]

Its absolutely the only thing to put Idaho on the map in the last 50 years. Let them have their cake.

 

[The Monkey]

I think Idaho is the US state I've spend most time in, with the possible exception of Florida.

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

Loved Napolean Dynamite, and I had no clue where it was filmed until I read Maddox.

LOL The Mormons, rolling farm fields, and "Rick's College" weren't enough to clue ya in?

 

[RabidMeatloaf]

I live in Idaho and I haven't even SEEN the movie.

Meh.

 

[MiccyNarc]

LOL The Mormons, rolling farm fields, and "Rick's College" weren't enough to clue ya in?

Maybe if I actually knew something about Idaho I would have been clued in, but considering that I don't...
