He wasn't really the main character in the minds of the people who made it. There are two other characters who serve more as stand-ins for the writers/producers. Shocked more poasters don't know about this since there's a funny lol school connection.

Imo it was the mainly the Napoleon character. There have been many movies centered around nerds and dorks, but they're always portrayed as misunderstood, not cool but has a heart of gold types. Napoleon reminded everyone of those autistic type dorks that weren't really super smart or necessarily good or heroic. He was just kind of a white trash dork with a nerdy or trashy family and almost every scene was humorous and original with that perspective.

I used to work with the guy who played Summer Wheatley’s boyfriend.

He was pissed he only made a few hundred bucks for the film.
