Explosions of Laughter in Napoleon Dynamite

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: "Want to play me?"
Review: Writer/director Jared Hess sets Napoleon Dynamite in his hometown of Preston, Idaho with a mixture of tenderness and mockery. I expected Napoleon Dynamite to be dark, disturbing, and somewhat depressing, but it s almost uplifting... in an unusual...

Freaks and Geeks: The movie! (just kidding)

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: Excellent character driven movie. Although you may not really find it all that funny if it goes over/to the side of your head.
Review: I watched this film with a friend in late Dec of 2004. After watching it, that night, I went out and rented it and watched it about six times. Why? you may ask. Simply because of the characters. I could care less if it took place in any country or...

Napoleon Dynamite: Neither funny nor fun

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2007
The Bottom Line: This movie has become very popular, but don't ask me why? I recommend you avoid it like the plague.
Review: Napoleon Dynamite writers Jared and Jerusha Hess must be talented people. Individuals of lesser talent would not even have thought of making a movie that is so mean- spirited, miscalculated and fundamentally unfunny.

Napoleon Dynamite is...

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2005
The Bottom Line: subtle, unusual, oddball-humor "character study" film, that will keep coming back to you.
Review: If you re looking for traditional storytelling structure, Napoleon Dynamite is very likely not for you. The plot, such as it is, is subtle. The film depicts not much more than a short period in the lives of some unattractive, unpopular Midwestern...

Throw Some Tots in the Oven

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2006
Review: "Napoleon Dynamite" seems to be a movie that you either love, or love to hate. I'll admit, the first time I saw this movie, I didn't get it. Then I realized that there really wasn't much to get, which is what makes the movie so great. There's really...

NOT the new "teen coming of age" movie...

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2005
Review: ...as another movie-renter had told me. This doesn't live up to other teen movies like Sixteen Candles or Ten Things I Hate About You are. Slow, predictable, and only slightly humorous, Napoleon Dynamite is a high school age boy who has to deal with...

This movie is NOT sweet........God

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2005
The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recomend seeing this movie at all. I found it to be the most painful-to-watch movie I've ever seen.
Review: I heard many things about this Napolean Dynamite. Most people I asked said it was hilarious. Some said it was terrible. Some people even said that you can either love it, or hate it. Well, I can honestly say that I hated it and don't know what all...

Napoleon Dynamite: most unfunny movie i've ever seen

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2005
The Bottom Line: This movie is really dumb and there is no plot at all!! But there is a great soundtrack.
Review: What can I say: Napoleon Dynamite is the stupidest, most unfunny, lamest piece of crap for a film i've ever seen. The main character(Napoleon) is soooooooo annoying along with his uncle and his friend Pedro. Napoleon is a tall,redhead,nerdy Utah kid...

"I Told You, I Was In Alaska Hunting Wolverines, GOSH"

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2004
The Bottom Line: Napoleon Dynamite isn't quite worth its hype in gold, but it is still a funny look into the life of a high school nerd.
Review: Please note that this review has an addendum at the end...rather than re-write the entire review, I decided to revise my rating and provide an additional paragraph detailing why

I first saw a preview for Napoleon Dynamite about 3 months...

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2005
Review: This DVD spends more time in the player than virtually any other disc in our collection. We LOVE the geeky Napoleon.

Believe it or not, there really are isolated little towns in the U.S. still "stuck" in the 80's and 90's, just like the...
