Über diesen 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.

I can't stand this movie. It is just walking around and talking. The plot sucks and it's more than easy to follow. I don't understand why this is getting more love than Grown ups!

Make sure every time you watch this movie you're with friends so the laughter catches on and if you must watch it by yourself make sure you're hyped up on mountain dew so you laugh a lot... This movie is a dry type of funny and I still laugh every time I see it and I can sadly quote the whole movie and find myself quoting it way too much...

"Napoleon Dynamite" chronicles the ordinary yet peculiar life of a socially awkward high school kid in a remote area of Idaho. Napoleon, along with his equally quirky family and friends, navigates the challenges of teenage life with a particular flare. "Napoleon Dynamite" debuted in 2004 as an independent low-budget film that developed a sizable cult following. It is a reflection of the independent film trend of the early 2000s, which was distinguished by strange stories and unusual humor.
