    Jared Hess makes an unforgettable directorial debut with NAPOLEON DYNAMITE, a hilarious, tender, and original portrait of a truly eccentric character. Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) is a high-school outcast in every sense of the word. More interested in playing tetherball by himself and drawing pictures of his favorite animal, the "liger" (a combination of a lion and a tiger), Napoleon is ignored by everyone in his tiny hometown of Preston, Idaho. At home, things aren`t much better. His uber-nerd older brother Kip (Aaron Ruell) and ultra-vain Uncle Rico (Jon Gries) are too busy with their own obsessions to give Napoleon the time of day. It isn`t until a new student, Pedro (Efren Ramirez), arrives that Napoleon finds friendship and performs an act of brave defiance that makes him a true hero. Written by Hess and his wife Jerusha, NAPOLEON DYNAMITE brilliantly captures the awkwardness of high school without succumbing to condescension. Most of this can be attributed to Heder, who steps into Napoleon`s moon boots with a jaw-dropping flawlessness. The rest of the cast is just as natural, underplaying their roles and letting the comedy unfold without forcing any of the jokes. Add a hilarious soundtrack of 1980s hits and you have an instant classic, a crowd-pleasing riot that has an undeniably universal appeal. This film screened at SXSW 2004 in Austin, Texas.

Napoleon

yanigaby from Millbrae, CA, Dec 18, 2007

My son and I really enjoy this movie. We have watched it at least 10 times and laugh out loud each time we see it. Silly scenes, silly characters...very nicely done. My son loves John Heder we would recommend this movie to anyone who loves a comedy without rude language and not offensive material!

I loved it... we are still quoting the movie and I love the fact that it is an entertaining movie that I can feel comfortable watching with my children. It is absolutely hilarious and we enjoy watching it over and over again.
