The key, to me, is the prom. It has the prom and the student body president things, which are standard teen movie events, but instead of a Footloose, "We're young and it's great" scene, you have a "We're young and we hate every minute of it and we're forced to participate in these things where you're young and it's great and it makes us hate every minute even more" scene. K appreciated the movie because it's surreal at points, like Monty Python. I loved it because, to a great extent, I was Napoleon Dynamite.
