As deadpan comedies go, Napoleon Dynamite stands in a class all its own. Played by John Heder, the title character is (in the words of critic Roger Ebert) "the kind of nerd other nerds avoid," a mouth-breathing dweeb with a mangy nest of orange hair, and ungainly features that suggest a perpetual state of half-conscious depression. He lives in Preston, Idaho (former home of 24-year-old director Jared Hess) with his thrill-seeking grandma and 32-year-old brother, and his days at high school consist mostly of being abused or ignored by indifferent classmates. Napoleon's sad-sack story doesn't offer the scathing, impassioned humor of Welcome to the Dollhouse because Hess (who cowrote the nearly plotless screenplay with his wife, Jerusha) doesn't have an angst-ridden axe to grind. Instead, the comedy (which exists in a tacky universe of worn-out rural suburbia) is so low-key that some will find it difficult to laugh, while others (i.e., those who feel superior to Napoleon) will have plenty of fun at Napoleon's expense. The result is a curiously uneven film, hilarious at times, but hampered by its own sense of affectionate mockery. An audience favorite at the Sundance film festival, Napoleon Dynamite may not be entirely lovable, but it's definitely unique. --Jeff Shannon

Napoleon Dynamite is a new kind of hero, complete with a tight red 'fro, sweet moon boots, and skills that can't be topped. Napoleon spends his days drawing mythical beasts, duking it out with his brother, Kip, and avoiding his scheming Uncle Rico. When t
Customer Reviews:
Torture!.......2007-06-24
This movie was absolute torture! There is no plot. The characters need to be killed and put out of their misery. We only suffered through 45 minutes before we turned it off. Don't waste your money.
ITS GOOD FOR THE SOUL.......2007-06-18
FIRST TIME I SAW IT I WAS IN BAD ANXIETY.I HAVE GAD.IT TOOK MY MIND OFF MY ANXIETY AND STRESS,ITS SO CUTE AND SWEET.URE NOT SURE WHAT YR IT IS.LOL
I ORDERED IT.I WATCH IT WEEKLY.ITS GOOD TO WATCH WHEN URE STRESSED.I SEE IT IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT.ITS JUST ABOUT A HIGHSCHOOL OF NERDS BUT THEY HAVE FEELINGS AND ARE SWEET.
IM SO GLAD I HAVE IT
Very Original Opening Credits.......2007-06-12
I just don't get it. I guess I'm just an oldfardt. The only time I laughed during this film was when Napolean was trying to jump the make-shift ramp with his bike. I do give 1 star for the very original opening credit sequence.
This is GREAT!.......2007-06-09
We love this movie & to get it here at such a great savings too! We received it in perfect condtion & the movie is wonderfully funny. We like the extra bonus features also!
It's actually hard to describe why this movie was so funny..........2007-05-06
When someone gushes about a movie being the funniest thing they've ever seen, it usually kills it for me. Fortunately, I had no expectations at all for this movie, and ended up thinking it was hilarious.
I don't know where to start...Napoleon's brother is SUCH a dweeb you'll want to smack him yourself---yet I'm laughing even now thinking about him. There are all these subtle continuity errors and era-inappropriate artifacts that are so obvious they had to be intentional, and even those still make me laugh.
But the real reason the movie is funny is because most of the characters are so incredibly pathetic they'll remind you, sometimes quite painfully, of real people. Some parts almost make you cringe that way.
If you're looking for something a little different, and if you can sit down to watch this without any particular expectations, you might accidentally get a huge kick out of it. I did. (Make sure you watch the part after the credits; a lot of people miss that.)

Napoleon Dynamite PSP UMD Movie MODEL- 19738 VENDOR- UMD MOVIE FEATURES- Napoleon Dynamite PSP Movie 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 schools 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 Shows Diedrich Bader, Napoleon Dynamite premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. -- SPECIFICATIONs ----------------------------------- MPAA Rating : PG Genre : Anarchic Comedy, Coming-of-Age Theatrical Date : 2004 Run Time : 94 minutes Distributor/Studio: 20th Century Fox sonystyle.com
