Having memorable lines doesn't make it a good movie.

Agreed.

Explain.

To me, this movie was smart and funny. Sure, it was goofy but the movie was just really memorable and watchable.

I just hated the character and wanted him to be killed the whole movie. I never could figure out if you were supposed to feel sorry for him or what, but I never had any sympathy for him at all.

The Napoleon Dynamite character is very similar to almost every Steve Carrell character of late. I fricking hate his characters.

Yeah, I think Carrell was great in 40 yo Virgin but his schtick is getting old. ND was a one off. To me it was a great character and even if you hated him, there was still so many other good characters like Uncle Rico, Kip, and Pedro.
