Napoleon Dynamite

Napoleon Dynamite's his name ... don't wear it out. From the rural town of Preston, Idaho, comes one of the most memorable screen characters in recent memory. With a tight red �fro, some sweet moon boots, and illegal government ninja moves, he is a new kind of hero. His family consists of fragile brother Kip, who�s seeking his soulmate in online chat rooms; Uncle Rico, who is stuck in his �glory� days of high school football; and Grandma, 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 thee chicks, and begrudgingly feeding his grandma�s pet llama, �Tina.� When his friend Pedro decides to run for class president, they must rely on their knowledge of cows, pinatas, and a surprise special talent if they are to defeat the stuck-up Summer Wheatley.

Napoleon Dynamite is a modest film made with a ton of heart, and, like all great comedies, the genius is in the details. Jon Heder gives a truly awe-inspiring performance as the titular character. Writer/director Jared Hess and cowriter brotherJerusha Hess flesh out the world and the characters so brilliantly that it takes multiple viewings to truly savor the magnificence that is Napoleon Dynamite.
