Nutshell: Um…uh…well? You see…um? Hmmm? It’s from Mtv™? No, that’s not a nutshell. Okay, let’s see, you have Napoleon, your average high school misfit from Any Little Town, USA. And, and…you know…I don’t know. The audience really seemed to enjoy it though. And in regards to the audience, it seemed to be made up of mostly people from the twenty-something age group, I guess the target demographic for Mtv™ nowadays, so I can only imagine that’s why they found it so amazingly funny, cause I really didn’t. You see when I was a target demo for the station, they did something really strange, they played music videos 24 hours a day…you know, hence the name “Music Television”. Now I just watch it for “Cribs” and “Pimp my Ride”, and I don’t even know if they play videos anymore. Anyway, I’ll have Sherman turn off the Way-Back-Machine™ and get back to present day. 
The film obviously wasn't meant for me, so I’ll just say, if you watch Mtv on a regular basis, you’ll probably enjoy this quirky little film. As for me…I’ll just take my ‘Geritol’ and off to bed.
