"What do you think?!!!"
In an era of film making where the studio's main concern is the opening weekend box office report, Napoleon Dynamite kicks that mentality in the family jewels with some sweet kung fu moves.
By showing quality movies can come cheap and make a profit hopefully a new trend of big studio gambles on little movies made with more heart than moolah will emerge. Napoleon Dynamite was made for under a million bucks and grossed over forty million in theaters. Not to mention its phenomenal success on DVD.
Jon Heder plays Napoleon(in the best performance by a new actor in 2004), a delusional geek who's claim to fame are imaginary numchuck skills and drawing mythical monsters. He's awesome at tetherball(singles) and a whiz at political campaign strategy. He's fond of tater tots and his lips are chapped.
I can't remember the last time a movie had me laughing to the point of tears. Boy was I cryin', I can admit it.
An instant cult classic and 2004's funniest movie, Napoleon Dynamite is a treat for anyone who attended high school or is amused by life's little absurdities. Even the soundtrack is hilarious. Watch this movie and laugh. If you don't there's something terribly wrong with you.
P.S. Vote for Pedro!
