Napoleon Dynamite [DVD]

Never watched before, immediately thought this is hilarious, heart warming and gave fantastic insight, performances were raw and engaging.

Ok i have to say that this is by far and away the funniest film i have seen in a long long time.The film follows the seemingly melodramatic everyday life of a geek by the name of Napoleon Dynamite, who basically lives in his own world of mythical creatures and medieval warriors.The film is focused around Napoleon and his brother Kip, who is you regular 32 year old sit at home on the internet super geek who dreams of finding his soul mate in the perilous world of cyber space. The other main characters in the film are Napoleons friend, Pedro, the new mexican kid at school who just so happens to have a sweet bike, and a moustache. Then comes Deb, the love interest, who is the classic example of the geek girl, weird hairstyles and fashion sense and last but not least, Napoleons Uncle Rico, who is still living in 1982 and cant let go of how if he had played in a football match his team would have "taken state".The film follows Napoleons adventures, some of which include a visit to Rex Kwondo, a local self defense club.The school prom and the best of all, supporting the campaign trail for Pedro Sanchez to be elected as Class President.This film is just amazing, some people just dont get it because it is rather slow paced and the comedy is more character based than just plain old jokes and gags.I have watched it around 10 times since i bought it 13 days ago, and everytime i find something new to laugh at, in fact when i have had a couple of beers on a night out and come home and stick it on, i find myself laughing the ENTIRE way through the film.There is just so much to laugh at, Napoleons general attitude and conduct, not to mention his dress sense ( the t shirts are just the geekiest things you will ever see ) and the mind blowing finale to the film where Napoleon unleashes his secret weapon to aid his buddy Pedros elction speech.I have waited so long for a film like this, if you are a fan of tv stuff like The Office or The Smoking Room, i can assure you that you will love this film, and will find it possibly becoming a part of your everyday routine. Sweet!!!!!

This is my first review on Amazon, and what a film to choose!The story revolves around a young Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) a social misfit with no friends, no prospects, no skills. It follows his struggles at home, at school, and for a brief few scenes his struggles while working on a chicken farm...do the chickens have large talons?!I had heard a lot about this film and had been told that it would be up my street as my favourite funnies include Anchorman, Family Guy etcAll I can say is I was blown away by this film. It might have been due to the fact that I could realte to it. I'm not saying I'm a social misfit and I'm pretty good with a bow staff, but everytime I've felt left out or on my own I could relate it to this film. If you can't relate to Napoleon, you can relate to some of the characters, whether it's his brother Kip, Uncle Rico, fashion guru Deb or the hapless Pedro.Americans tend to be poor at writing subtle, sarcastic comedies, but this is an exception. The way the actors hardly move on screen to the witty one-liners, this film will have you in stitches.So don't listen to D.G. Cochrane below, he doesn't know what he's on about! Watch this film, judge for yourself, chances are you'll watch it over and over again and will repeat the catchphrases whenever you can...."What you gonna do today Napoleon?" "Whatever I feel like I wanna do, GOSH!"P.S If you thought the dance scene in American Pie 3 was funny, you ain't seen nothing yet

A lot of people will think this film is pointless. However if you have a certain sense of humour you will find the film absolutely hilarious.I am one of the people who found it hilarious. Yes the film is stupid and there isn't much of a story there, but that isn't even the point.It's just good wholesome clean fun. Just to point out as a side issue there is not a single instance of bad language in the entire film and that is a rare thing these days.The films is basically about the geeky types who are usually the butt of the jokes in the normal "teenage" films. I found it refreshing and thought it was extremely well done.....it's right down my street.I have my napoleon Dynamite talking pen and calander displayed proudly in my office........(I can't wait for the next film to come out)It's not a very long film to be honest so check it out to see for yourself if you get it. You may get a laugh and if it isn't your sense of humour then at least you can say that you've seen it.

I have to rate it 5/5 as I love the film but Amazon gets 0/5 for removing the end credit scene and basically not caring at all about your viewing experience because of that.

I was very disappointed that Amazon didn’t provide the full film which includes a brilliantly funny wedding scene at the endSo glad I didn’t waste my money buying it and only rentedNapoleon dynamite is one of the funniest and unique films of recent years and you should watch but best if whole content is provided

CROWD PLEASER. when you have a mixed crowd at your house, THIS is the movie that will unite everyone.and, if it is just you alone? then watch it by yourself, and startle the dog with your guffawing. No swearing or nudity in this movie. Universal, family friendly themes. Outrageously funny.

This is one of the most random films I've ever seen. The first time I watched it I had no idea what was going on and watched it 3 times in my first week of having it deliverd. There is no real plot or point but it is still a great film. It's best watched with your friends, especially if you've had a few. Some great one liners and catch phrases, makes you quote to your friends all day long.It is a film you either love or you hate, but give it a go and give it a couple of watches too sink in and I'm sure you'll love it. Even if people don't like it you can crack them up by quoteing lines from the film so there must be something in it that people love even if they don't know it.
