	Napoleon Dynamite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Napoleon lives with his 32-year-old geekish brother Kip and their grandmother, who sends the "has-been" Uncle Rico, an ex-high school quarterback with shattered dreams of stardom on the football field, to look after them when she is hospitalized following an all-terrain vehicle accident.
		Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder), the film's protagonist, is a stereotypical geek and compulsive liar who enjoys mundane diversions such as drawing creatures (such as ligers), drinking milk, eating tater tots, and playing with nunchaku and tetherball.
		Napoleon's "pretty much" favorite animal, the liger, is actually a real animal, and exists in zoos as a result of mating a male lion with a female tiger.

	Napoleon Dynamite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Napoleon Dynamite is about a really big nerd and all the weird people around him.
		Napoleon is a nerd because he has big glasses, wears ugly clothes, has a big fro, likes tetherball, draws pictures of ligers (part lion, part tigers), keeps extra tater tots in his pocket for a snack later, walks around with is mouth open, and has no social skills.
		Napoleon works his way into this bizarre dynamic, using his nerdy abilities to help his friend win and to try to make awkward moves towards Deb.

	Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
		Napoleon Dynamite was one of those Sundance premieres that found a distributor, followed that with art-house success, but then did what few festival movies ever do: it jumped to the multiplexes and spawned a phenomenon, broadly appealing to children, teens, and grown-ups who blushingly recalled their own high school years.
		When Napoleon Dynamite first appeared at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, and then later when it came out in theaters, the teen comedy polarized critics, with many of the detractors accusing co-writer/director Jared Hess of laughing at his geeky hero, Napoleon (Jon Heder), and his equally socially inept friends and family.
		Napoleon also bears the intrusion into his life of his obnoxious Uncle Rico (Jon Gries), inches toward romance with his shy classmate Deb (Tina Majorino), and helps his new pal Pedro (Efren Ramirez) in his quest to become class president.

	Napoleon Dynamite (2004): Reviews
		Napoleon Dynamite is too low-wattage to be a true nerd anthem, but it's charming in retrospect.
		So deadpan a film is Napoleon Dynamite, the story and the name of a gangly high school misfit in Preston, Idaho, that I can't say whether it was intended as a character study or a comedy.
		At the end of Napoleon Dynamite, you're glad the geeks have their day (even Kip's chat-mate turns out be a winner); you're also relieved to be rid of them.

	TheMovieBoy Review - Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
		"Napoleon Dynamite" is light on a driving narrative, but hugely likable, nonetheless, as it follows its affectionate, offbeat characters through a few months in their shoes.
		For example, when Napoleon and Deb end up dancing together at the school dance, their conversation is awkward, but warm, leading to a silent reciprocal respect for each other that transcends any dialogue Hess could have cooked up.
		"Napoleon Dynamite" is that rare motion picture that reminds you of a lot of other films while, at the same time, being unlike any other movie you have ever seen.

	Napoleon Dynamite
		Napoleon is a high school nerd in a rural community.
		Napoleon's friend Pedro (Efren Ramirez) and love interest Deb (Tina Majorino) weren't unlikable, but all they really did was stare into space and say two-word sentences.
		Napoleon Dynamite is a pseudonym used by Elvis Costello for his 1986 album, Blood and Chocolate.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Napoleon Dynamite (xhtml)
		There is a kind of studied stupidity that sometimes passes as humor, and Jared Hess' "Napoleon Dynamite" pushes it as far as it can go.
		Watching "Napoleon Dynamite," I was reminded of "Welcome to the Dollhouse," Todd Solondz's brilliant 1996 film, starring Heather Matarazzo as an unpopular junior high school girl.
		Napoleon seems to passively invite ridicule, and his attempts to succeed have a studied indifference, as if he is mocking his own efforts.

	Movie Review - Napoleon Dynamite - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		"Napoleon Dynamite" is a gloriously quirky, hysterically funny ode to rural dullness that is probably the fairest, most accurate film representation that Preston, Idaho, will ever get.
		Napoleon lives with his 30-year-old brother Kip (Aaron Ruell), a pasty, ambitionless fellow who maintains a long-distance Internet relationship with a woman in Detroit.
		Heder, all droopy-eyed, slack-jawed and sleepy-sounding, is a riot as Napoleon, his faux-profanity and exasperated sigh earning laughs every time, along with his blissful unawareness of his own strangeness.

	Napoleon Dynamite - Movie Review
		After their tough grandmother (Sandy Martin) is injured in a dune-buggy accident, nerdy Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) and his even nerdier 32-year old brother Kip (Aaron Ruell) are left in the dubious care of Uncle Rico (Jon Gries), a sleazy door-to-door salesman who is "living too much in '82".
		We are never really invited 'in' to Napoleon's world, but just left to gawp from the sidelines at his alien antics, for he is, from beginning to end, so consistently otherworldly and insulated from reality that whatever interior life he may have remains entirely inaccessible, making any kind of empathy or identification with him impossible.
		Napoleon Dynamite is one of the greatest movies of all time.

	"Napoleon Dynamite" / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		But the title of that flick would be “Napoleon Blownapart.” No, Napoleon Dynamite is a totally new, modern character, and as authentic and uniquely drawn as the film that is named after him.
		However, rather than deliberately making fun at the foibles of Napoleon, his quirky family and his equally quirky friends, there is a genuine sweetness that runs throughout the film to its charming conclusion, which left me smiling.
		Since this whole movie is about having the audience live in Napoleon’s shoes for a time, by the end of the movie, you get a feeling for what it feels like to get picked on and ridiculed.

	Napoleon Dynamite review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Napoleon is that really weird kid at school perfectly oblivious to the fact he is weird; the idiot that thinks everybody else is an idiot and by and large he's right.
		Napoleon's world is turned upside down (sort of) by a series of events that include his grandmother's (Sandy Martin) fluke dune-buggy accident, a chance meeting with the new kid at school, and an encounter with a mysterious sales girl who leaves all her merchandise on his front porch.
		"Napoleon Dynamite" gets a HOT DATE rating for originality, cinematography, dialogue, and a group of actors that pull it all together so well.
