Film critic missed point

It's amazing to me that neither your film critic, nor some of your readers, see the genius of "Napoleon Dynamite." For those who see "breast enhancements" in this movie, you're missing the whole point. Love yourself for the "skills" you do have, not for what you might have been or what pills might allow you to become.

Teach your children about tolerance; that each of us has value to others. Live for today. Put it all on the line for a friend. Take a chance at failure in order to achieve success. Befriend the friendless, they have more to offer than you think.

Six out of six reviewers on the Deseret Morning News movie site give this film the highest rating. They get it. Maybe those who don't like it are not as tolerant as they think.
