How can it already be a cult classic when it was only released a couple years ago?

I do think it will. For movies like that, time has to go on, and people have to look at how different it was from the other movies that came out around the same time. It's got some classic elements to it and definitely outside the Hollywood formula.

A cult classic (to me) means that it will still be watched and loved by millions 20 years from now. IE: The Rocky Horror Picture Show, A Clockwork Orange...and many more.
Our society has changed so much. We don't have the attention span we used to have. Things that would have become cult classics 23-30 years ago no longer have the same effect on us.
So, no, I don't think it will become a cult classic. Something else will come along and take it's place at some point.

I think it already is a cult classic, at least among certain group of people (my friends, that is)
it's a bit weird but a funny movie about ordinary weird people living in the middle of nowhere
and 'Pedro for president' is classic

Will become a cult classic?
Isn't it already?
I personally didn't get it but everybody about 10-15 years younger than me loves it (I'm 24).

I think it already has....how many people quote that movie to this day? Even just one-liners? Seems like all the movies everyone loves to quote are cult classics....like "Princess Bride" and "Austin Powers" and "So I Married an Axe Murderer"....never really were noted for their quality, but everyone still quotes from them.

it can't be a cult classic if it's so ingrained in popular culture that everyone and their dog knows to vote for pedro and can draw a liger and so on and so on... everyone knows nappy d so i don't think it's gonna have a cult status.

Too many human beings like it plus each and all of the merchandising and marketing that is obtainable for it to be a cult classic. The action picture did o.k. interior the theaters. a action picture like "place of work area" is a cult classic. extra these days, "Idiocracy". "Highlander" is a cult classic. "street residing house"... Kevin Smith did the assertion. "Showgirls"."military of Darkness". "vast Lebowski". "Boondock Saints". "Dazed and perplexed". "Donnie Darko". "combat club". "Mommie Dearest". "Pootie Tang". "Princess Bride". "Scarface". Did ok interior the flicks, even though it wasn't till years later it gained a clean objective audience. in certainty a action picture that disappears from the multiplexes that features a fanbase by lifeless night video clips back while, or cable now, and lands up having a rabid following.

Unfortunately I think it will just for the type of movie it is. I really didn't care much for the movie mostly due to the hype surrounding it.

I sure hope not -- that movie was pure GARBAGE. HORRIBLE -- and my teenage son INFLICTED that horror on me one night when he rented it.
