Om denne film

From the rural town of Preston, Idaho, comes Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder). With a red 'fro, his moon boots, and illegal government ninja moves, he is a new kind of hero. His family consists of fragile brother Kip (Aaron Ruell), who's seeking his soul-mate in online chat rooms; Uncle Rico (Jon Gries), who is stuck in his "glory" days of high school football; and Grandma (Sandy Martin), who enjoys going out to the dunes on her quad-runner. Napoleon spends his days drawing magical beasts, working on his computer hacking skills to impress the chicks, and begrudgingly feeding his Grandma's pet llama. When his friend Pedro (Efren Ramirez) decides to run for class president, it is Napoleon to the rescue to help him triumph over adversity.

File this movie under the "should have been a disaster but somehow worked" category. Worked so well it is, in its own strange and unique way, a comic masterpiece.

This movie is worth watching once. It's a lot less funny and endearing a second time through. Rent it before you think about buying it.

Wonderfully strange movie. The more you watch it, the funnier it becomes as you notice more and more of the little bits of the film. Contains no swearing or nudity. A masterpiece of independent movie making...but it won't be for everyone!!
