Plot: The directorial debut of filmmaker Jared Hess, who also co-wrote the screenplay, Napoleon Dynamite is a quirky, offbeat comedy set in the small Idaho town of Preston. Jon Heder stars in the titular role, a carrot-topped oddball with a decidedly eccentric family that includes his llama-loving, dune-buggy enthusiast grandmother. The story centers on the local high school's race for class president. Using some nontraditional means, Napoleon is determined to help his pal Pedro (Efrem Ramirez) run a winning campaign and defeat popular girl Summer (Haylie Duff). Also starring The Drew Carey Show's Diedrich Bader, Napoleon Dynamite premiered at the {~2004 Sundance Film Festival}. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

A subltle comedy.
Added 10/16/2009

The humor in the film isn't seemingly obvious, like other comedies, but is rather subtle. So, you will probably laugh to yourself, rather than outloud. In any case, the film is worth checking out. A low-budget production, which gets the most out of it's limited resources.

A movie U can watch anytime it's on tv
Added 10/11/2009

The first time I saw this, I wouldn't have rated it. I didn't really get the hype. Then I started watching bits and pieces as I would catch it on tv. I rewatched it and Lol and totally love it! Now, any time it is on tv I will start watching. This kid never gives up, just pushes through the whole movie in the same monatone manner. You give him kudos for not killing himself(figur of speech)!

A Great Cult Classic Made Even Better
Added 9/14/2009

The DVD version of this cult classic already had great clarity but this Blu-Ray version is outstanding.

The picture of this version gives the move the extra punch needed on a large screen. The documentary on the disc is icing on the cake but I don't think anyone would want to view it more than once. It would have been better if interviews with actors were included.

Some times, absurd is very clever!
Added 9/14/2009

This movie is one of the most outlandishly absurd movies you will ever watch. Don't you crave laughing aimlessly with no hidden message waiting to bite you in the a...????
Jon Heder is a great actor, watch him in "just like Heaven" and give him another chance because he is worth it. He made the "Napoleon Dynamite" famous, not vice versa!

One of My Favorites!
Added 9/13/2009

The first time I watched this movie I didn't really "get" it. But, I was so intrigued by how different it was from other movies I had seen that I watched it a 2nd time and that time I laughed my butt off!!

It's really a must-see film for anyone who grew up in the 80s because of all the "flash back" items that make an appearance. For instance, Trapper Keepers (remember those), moon boots!
