| Synopsis:
From the rural town of Preston, Idaho, comes Napoleon Dynamite. With a red 'fro, his moon boots, and illegal government ninja moves, he is a new kind of hero. His family consists of fragile brother Kip, who's seeking his soulmate in online chat rooms; Uncle Rico, who is stuck in his glory days of high school football; and Grandma, who enjoys going out to the dunes on her quad-runner. Napoleon spends his days drawing magical beasts, working on his computer hacking skills to impress the chicks, and begrudgingly feeding his Grandma's pet llama. When his friend Pedro decides to run for class president, it is Napoleon to the rescue to help him triumph over adversity. |

 It grows on you November 16, 2008
Bee On Thyme (Midwest, USA)
I am a high school teacher, that being said, I decided on the last day of br /school that as a treat we would watch a movie. I borrowed Napoleon Dynamite from my brothers vast DVD collection. I had no idea what the movie was about but my students told me it was funny. I looked it up on IMDB to see its rating. It is PG because of the word "piss" and a man selling breast enlargement pills. Pretty tame stuff in this day and age. br / br /I watched it three times in one day. The first viewing I was confused...it did not seem that funny. The second and third time I watched it I just laughed and laughed through out the whole movie. br / br /It grows on you, and you will find yourself laughing about lines from the movie at odd times through out your life. br / br /I do recommend this movie. It is just SWEET, in every sense of the word.
 not a comedy at all, but worth watching at least once November 1, 2008
Smart Guy (Sillicon Valley)
well, this movie was entertaning for me, meanwhile it was slow but not boring br / br /if you are sick and tired of movies packed with special features, super heroes, and unrealisitic stories of wizards or aliens invading our planet, then this is the timne to give yourself a break and watch a movie of a nerd going to school in idaho br / br /at least you can think this could really happen somewhere in real world, br / br /If you haven't seen this movie yet, i would say give it a try, but don't expect anything extraordinary br / br /hope it helped

Dull, boring, and not funny either. I did not care for this at all. br /I liked the opening credits though. After that, it was all downhill.

I have to say that my teenage boys like this movie a lot more than I do so maybe add some stars to this review if you're a teen. br /The movie is an alleged comedy but the laughs and even the chuckles aren't easy to find here. The storys itself is a standard high school outcast story where the hero is a nerdy quiet and shy. As with most Hollywood stories about teens, the actors look way too old to even remember high school let alone be there. The lead actor Heder was 26, looked all of his 26 years and most of his costars appear to be better candidates for teachers than students. br /Despite the lack of humor and the age issues, there is a very low key charm to the movie. Napoleon and his friends are likeable and you watch the movie to the end to see what happens (Not much). Give them some credit for appealing characters but the movie could have been much better if the charcters had some funny moments and more of a plot to work with. It's not a bad movie but it's not a very good one either.
