Explosions of Laughter in Napoleon Dynamite

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: "Want to play me?"
Review: Writer/director Jared Hess sets Napoleon Dynamite in his hometown of Preston, Idaho with a mixture of tenderness and mockery. I expected Napoleon Dynamite to be dark, disturbing, and somewhat depressing, but it's almost uplifting... in an unusual...

Napoleon Dynamite - Embrace your inner nerd

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2005
The Bottom Line: The bottom line will not give you some of its tots. Get your own.
Review: I firmly believe that we all have an inner nerd. Not only that, but an inner nerd itching to become an outer nerd, waiting, biding its time until the day it gets to claim its rightful place as predominant personality trait. I call it the dynamic...

Thanks To This Film, I Know What A Liger Is And The Skills They Possess

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: Napoleon Dynamite is very unique and quite funny at times. It's definitely worth checking out.
Review: Sometimes quirkiness in movies for the sake of quirkiness fails (most John Waters films come to mind) and other times it works wonderfully like in Rushmore. When I first saw the preview for Napoleon Dynamite I had the feeling that the film was going...

Enough reviews on Napoleon Dynamite already, okay!

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2007
The Bottom Line: Recommended to film critics, people who want to know what all the ballyhoo is about and true blue Napoleon Dynamite fans.
Review: When Napoleon Dynamite was initially released in 2004 I was one of the few who did not go to the theater to watch it. Truth be told, I never planned on watching it, based upon the trailers and reviews by amateur and professional film critics. It...

the life moronic with Jared Hess

Date of Review:  Jan 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: Did more thought go into this movie than "Hey! Let's assemble a bunch of outcasts!"? Probably, but the other thoughts all contradicted each other, and no one cared.
Review: If Napoleon Dynamite wasn't such a commercial hit, I would probably leave it alone. The debut feature of director/writer Jared Hess, it shows wit, invention, and good taste in indie films: it's desperately obvious that Hess conceived his film in the...

Do I love this movie? Jes.

Date of Review:  May 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: wants to build me a cake, or somesing.
Review: Speaking as the last person in the free world to have discovered this movie, I'm ranking it at the top of my "Must See Again" list of 2005. It's got everything I need in a comedy: physical humor, very quotable and of course, a Liger.

We...

He's killer on the Tetherball Court...but can he carry a movie?

Date of Review:  Sep 23, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you liked other independent comedies like "Rubin and Ed," you might enjoy "Napoleon Dynamite"
Review: The other night my wife and I went and saw "Napoleon Dynamite." It was her pick, and the choices were basically either this or "Sky Captain." We ended up at "Napoleon" because of some commercials we had seen, and some word of mouth from trusted...

His Own Private Idaho

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: Listen to Elvis Costello's Napoleon Dynamite recordings than watch this film.
Review: Napoleon Dynamite is the ultimate nerd. Napoleon (Jon Heder) has no friends among his peers at the Idaho high school he attends. Napoleon chooses to march to his own drummer, and the price he pays is alienation and ridicule.. He knows about farming,...

Jared Hess'; NAPOLEON DYNAMITE (2004)

Date of Review:  Jan 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is one of the best coming of age flicks I've seen in years. Ordinary people can be hilarious. Here's proof.
Review: Want to see a different movie? One that is fun , authentic, ordinary and special all at the same time? If you want a film that captures the essence of independent film-making, then this is your movie. If you start to watch it and don't get it, find...

One of the funniest, strangest movies you'll ever see.

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 2004
The Bottom Line: Dy-no-mite.
Review: Napoleon Dynamite is not a typical movie, so if you go in with typical expectations, you'll be flustered and flabbergasted. It's a true indie film, made on a shoestring budget with no noteworthy actors, effects, or cinematography, which directs the...
