Review

 

He's out to prove he's got nothing to prove.

From Preston, Idaho comes Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder), a new kind of hero complete with a tight red 'fro, some sweet moon boots, and skills that can't be topped. Napoleon lives with his Grandma (Sandy Martin) and his 30 year old unemployed brother Kip (Aaron Russell), who spends his days looking for love in internet chat rooms. When Grandma hits the road on her quad runner, Napoleon and Kip's meddling Uncle Rico (Jon Gries) comes to town to stay with them and run their lives.

Napoleon is left to his own devices to impress the chicks at school and help his new best friend (Efren Ramirez) win the election for Student Body President against the stuck up Summer (Haylie Duff); all the while making sure to feed Grandma's pet Llama Tina, and avoiding association with Uncle Rico and the herbal breast enhancers he sells door to door. Napoleon and Pedro put their skills and knowledge of pirates, cows and drawing to good use, but it is a surprise talent that leads to the pair's triumph in the end...

i thought this film was ace...not something i'd usually go for but thought i'd give it a go. the film is quite slow and things do take a while to progress but jon heder plays a good part and you can sympathise with this geeky character and can see his life from his perspective....i also loved the dancing scene and the llama :D xxxxxx

Please take no notice of people who dont understand DRY HUMOUR! This film is quality and just gets better the more times you watch it... the humour is dry and SUBTLE and some people just dont get it but the ones that do will LOVE this film big time. Im not a student, Im a mother of three in her forties and my whole family love it. The uncle, brother and the dance scene all make it a classic as well as the main characters. BRILLIANT!

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Fantastic

I thought this was one of the best films ever. Yes I know it doesn't cater to every taste, and frankly the humour is rather odd. Hess' directing seems to capture the audience with the dry, sad lifestyle of Napoleon and his best friend Pedro. I can honestly say, this film gave me a laugh a minute.
Fantastic film, great laugh.
