  Napoleon Dynamite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uncle (Kyle) Rico (Jon Gries) is the sleazy uncle of Napoleon and Kip.
Yet Uncle Rico (who appears to be in his late 30s to early 40s) frequently refers to his high school glory days of 1982 (the date on which he set the aforementioned "time machine").
This is evident in Deb's fashion sense (her hair and wardrobe), Uncle Rico's appearance and wistfulness, Kip's fashion sense (a nerdy, retro wardrobe and excessively large glasses), and Pedro's bewilderment at being reprimanded for practicing a "Mexican tradition".

 Pongo Twistleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Their exploits together have instilled in him an irrational fear of his uncle, and he is exceedingly glad that Lady Ickenham strictly forbids her husband from setting foot in London.
However, in Uncle Dynamite, he finally got himself engaged to the truly ghastly Hermione Bostock, though exactly how he managed to do so is still a mystery.
Fortunately, with the help of his Uncle Fred and the knowledge that she regularly wakes up at 6 in the morning, he realised that they were not meant to be and promptly got together with Sally Painter.

 Auntie Dynamite: Volume 36: Norah Jones cool, or...
She was feeding Uncle Dynamite, from whom I was separated then but not yet divorced, some line about her being a little old lady.
I knew she was my age, and Uncle didn't like her to begin with, and the joke curdled, and I got annoyed, and set it all straight.
Uncle Dynamite's first fiance was atypically good at keeping them apart; she wandered the internet, carefully showing herself in small enough doses to different groups to make sure they always pumped her full of attention and control.

 Napoleon Dynamite - The CHUD.COM Message Boards
Whilst at heart it is without doubt a Fairy Tale (of the Brothers Grimm stable), I think also it is a bitter and often cheerless examination of the horrors of family dysfunction and the miserable social excommunication that often flows from it.
I think Napolean Dynamite really wanted to be a Wes Anderson movie, but it didn't have the underlying sweetness that made all the charcter faults and quirkines in a movie like Rushmore appealing.
Uncle Rico isn't a pederast, he's a caricature of what we refer to as a "high-school harry", a guy with no adult prospects stuck in the past.

Jon Heder as Napoleon Dynamite; Aaron Ruell as Kip; Jon Gries as Uncle Rico; Efren Ramirez as Pedro; Tina Majorino as Deb; Haylie Duff as Summer; Shondrella Avery as LaFawnduh; Emily Kennard as Trisha
Napoleon Dynamite paints a quirky, satirical portrait of "them" as they try to make the most of their low-key lives in the rural community of Preston, Idaho.
Napoleon Dynamite is hip precisely because its makers are aware of how unhip it is. We're not invited into the film's world to mock these characters—though some desensitized teens and twentysomethings may well do so—but to relate to them and use them to reflect on our own foibles, and our own dreams and goals.

 Uncle Dynamite
Uncle Fred seems less likely to get caught up in a wrong supposition or a childhood prejudice than Gally, for example.
Of course, poor Gally has numerous sisters to oppose, worry, thwart and distract him whereas Uncle Fred only has his usually absent countess, the American-born Jane (although in "Uncle Fred in the Springtime" his niece Valerie does stand in loco uxoris).
The only reason I can think of to prefer this latter novel to "Uncle Dynamite" is the fact that it is sited at the earthly Paradise Blandings Castle.

 "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.
He irritatingly replies, "I told you, I was hunting wolverines with my uncle in Alaska!" Also entertaining is Kip’s relationship with his internet girlfriend, LaFawnduh (Shondrella Avery), and Uncle Rico (Jon Gries), who comes to be guardian over Kip and Napoleon while their grandma is away.
I wasn't offended with the uncle selling the breast cream because the uncle is an unlikeable character and all the characters thought he was an idiot for trying to sell it.

 Uncle Dynamite : Reviews, Prices, Deals
This is the first non Jeeves and Wooster book of Wodehouses's that I've read, and I'm pleased to report that the adventures and exploits of Uncle Fred (aka Lord Ickenham) are just as madcap and droll as those of his more renown duo.
As with many of the Jeeves and Wooster stories, the plot revolves around (mis)engagements, misunderstandings, country houses, bonny baby contests, blustering pompous old men, duck ponds, and a constable.
However, the difference here is that instead of an idiot (Bertie) getting into sticky situations and being rescued by a genius (Jeeves), we have Uncle Fred, who seems to relish creating havoc and then sorting it all out through a variety of impersonations, good natured lies and flmail, with general irreverence for one and all.

Hi Frank, My sentiments exactly--I used to put "Springtime" in my top 3 PGWs, but as time (and readings) have gone on I think "Dynamite" gets the edge, if ONLY because the scene at the end of Springtime is a little far-fetched.
