"Napoleon Dynamite" is one of those movies that you either really love or really hate. There isn't much action and there doesn't even really seem to be a plot until the last 20 minutes of the film. Nevertheless, I thought it was "flippin'sweet!"
There is always at least one really weird kid in every school. How did those kids get so weird? Taking a look at Napoleon Dynamite may give a few answers.
Napoleon lives in Idaho with his grandma. He has a 32-year-old brother who meets "babes" on the internet and an uncle that wants to build a time machine to go back t
o 1982--his high school football glory days. It's no wonder Napoleon loves to draw Pegasus-es and that his favorite animal is the liger.
The movie revolves around Napoleon befriending Pedro, the new kid and Deb, the glamour-less, Glamour Shots employee. Here are some of the ways that they solve their problems:
Pedro deciding how to ask the most popular girl in school to the dance: "[I'll] build her a cake or something."
Napoleon telling Pedro why he should run for student body president: "You've got a sweet bike, you're good at getting chicks, plus you're the only guy at school who has a moustache."
Pedro explaining why was wearing a hood: "I realized it was my hair that was making my head so hot. I went into my kitchen and shaved it all off."
It all makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Great comedy.
