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.

    A very original comedy that worked well due to Heder's excellent performance and Hess's original style of directing for this type of movie. The supporting cast are also really good, so, vote for Pedro!

    I just recently watched this again, and it was better this time around. Not a deep movie by any means, but it is hilarious.

    This is one of those films that you HAVE to watch with about five or six inebriated friends.

    "What are you gonna do today, Napoleon?
    - Whatever I feel like I wanna do. Gosh!"

    "Napoleon Dynamite" is a homage to the 80's. A lot of people don't "get" this movie. In my opinion, it's basically one of the funniest movies made!

    Napoleon, played perfectly by Jon Heder, is prob...( read more)ably one of the most memorable characters in comedy history. A totally absurd high school kid who focuses more on his ninja skills and drawings of magical mixed animals.

    "Napoleon Dynamite" is full of gags and one-liners that will make you laugh your ass of. But ye be warned... Like earlier mentioned, the comedy is totally unorthodox and may not suit all.

    In overall, this film is a sleeper cult classic and very unique. It's non-predictable and focuses on the life of one freaky kid. Don't look after deeper meanings, just enjoy the fun. The film features also the best dance scene I've layed my eyes on! Napoleon is dynamite!

    "What's a liger?
    - It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic."
