What was that movie about? All I remember is there was no swearing

Seemed more a slice of life type of movie.

There is a bit of hero's journey narrative in it. A loser with nothing goes on a quest to win the class presidency or whatever. Even rides towards the sun set on a white horse with the girl at the end if I recall correctly.

It’s kinda weird and boring and the characters are quirky enough to be funny but also relatable in a vaguely nostalgic, innocence of mid teens kinda way. No one is good or bad and the climax is Napoleon dancing in front of the whole school so his friend wins the student council vote. And then everyone clapped.

It’s like the Big Lebowski, where the absurdity gets funnier with each watch. Definitely fun to rewatch with friends when you see the jokes coming.

Thanks for the refresher. I think I recall Pedro running for class president or something. I'd totally rewatch it with friends if I had any.

Everyone has "that movie" they're kind of ashamed to admit they've never watched. The Big Lebowski is that movie for me. I know I really need to make time for it one of these centuries...

He was somebody that was rising the ranks of competitive grocery bagging but then he broke his hand

No that was employee of the month. Hes thinking of the one with Justin Long as a side character waiting tables during the day and partying at night.
