Watched it last night.  I don't know what all the fuss is about.  Its funny, and will probably be timeless, but certainly didn't live up to the acclaim.  I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5.

I think the movie is uproariously hysterical, but can understand why someone would think it's dumb.

I had to stop watching it because it was just so much like what I went through in HS.

I knew it was going to be painful when the kid made himself a plate of tator tots, just tator tots, I used to do that and thought I was the only one.


Then as the dweebiness ramped up the damage to my psyche grew as long repressed memories came flooding back.

I'm still shaken by the 1/2 hour of that movie that I watched.

Ditto what Justin said.

It's an unusual, quirky kind of humor.

Great movie. I wonder if Pedro really was sick with something.
