radmanart I remember when the dynamite movie: Napoleon Dynamite (2004) came out. People would say they thought it was dumb. My first question was did you watch it to the end? Da; no of course not, it was too dumb to watch the whole thing. The end of the movie Napoleon Dynamite; where Jon Heder dances, makes the whole movie, a chillingly remembrance of a movie. I am partial to Napoleon Dynamite because I made movies in college too. The movie was based on a movie made as a college project. Kind of like the movie Sandy Wexler(2017) the whole movie is so stupid it is funny.

jamese777 Napoleon Dynamite is admittedly an acquired taste and I aquired it! The reviews for this movie SHOULD be wildly inconsistent because that's the kind of movie it is. Those viewers who appreciated this film will be heartened to know that it has had staying power. The original production budget was $400,000. The lifetime gross for this movie is now over $46 million. I find myself watching it every time it reappears; it is currently on HBO. For me, Napoleon Dynamite never gets old.

cegentner To find this film funny, you have to have to understand the unique sense of humor that it utilizes. It doesn't have a real plot that the audience can follow, and that's because it the events that occur aren't actually all that interesting. What makes it a funny movie are the characters and their personalities. It's honestly a big risk to make, because there's no guarantee that the general public will enjoy this type of humor, and the producers are actually very lucky that enough people made it as big of a hit as it is. The humor used is a different and unique type of mood, all coming from one-liners and character traits. This is a movie that I personally quote all the time; every time I hear the name Tina I think of the llama, and whenever I see a tetherball I think of this movie. These aren't jokes that just anyone would find funny, but if you have a weird and quirky sense of humor, Napoleon and Pedro will be your best friends.

Kari Duhaney Napoleon Dynamite is what you would have to call, by stealing the words of the legendary American television actor Jimmy J.J. Walker, DY-NO-MIIIITE!It's such a fun, out of step, unique movie experience. I saw it in theaters after many of my friends kept telling me how different and hilarious it was, and even though the bar was set so very high I still loved every minute of it and wanted more.Jon Heder owes his acting career to this, his break out role. And even though he has made some not so great choices since Napoleon Dynamite this role still stands out as a great movie and a very fine performance from him.Uncle Ricky, Napoleon's brother, his grandmother, Pedro, the romantic interest, Diedrich Bader as the crazy America-loving martial arts teacher, even the strange old egg farmer down the road (who for some reason dispenses with old cows by blasting them in the face with a shotgun while a busload of children drives by?)... the entire cast is fantastic.It's definitely offbeat with a plot unlike your typical comedy, but it's hilarious if you're willing to leave your expectations at the door and just let the bizarre, lovable characters take you for a ride.It's worth watching for the dance number alone!
