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.

U.S. Rating: PG
Napoleon is a dork with some special skills, if you know what I mean. A simple, fresh and funny plot. I personally believe that Napoleon Dynamite is one of the best teen movies in years. The first time I saw this movie, I totally believed Jon Heder was actually a complete dork! The way he looks, dresses, walks, runs, talks, his actions, his appearance... everything was so natural! Such a funny dork. It's interesting how this independent production with such a low budget could get everyone's attention in Sundance Film Festival and become such a comedy success. Definitely a funny movie that everyone should watch, especially if you're looking for a good teen comedy.
What did I like from this movie?
1. When Kip tells Napoleon... "Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day"
2. The scene when uncle Rico is eating a steak with Kip in the front yard, he sees Napoleon getting home with Pedro in his bike, grabs the steak with his hand and throws it, hitting Napoleon in the face
3. Uncle Rico, such a looser!
4. Pedro is my favorite character in this movie... come on! Who wouldn't vote for Pedro?!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. They haven't come with a good sequel. They should go for a sequel, maybe Napoleon in college!
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Enjoy it!... Watch it!
This one really is very funny! Pedro por presidente!
The first time I watched this movie I was like, "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS??" It is so lacking in action that it is hilarious!! I am positive that no one involved with the movie realized how BIG it was going to be. It is one of my all time favorites!
