- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2024What a unique movie! Geeky guy from Preston Idaho and his adventures in meeting a Hispanic friend who ends up being elected high school class president. For a good laugh , look up on YouTube Napoleon Dynamite Top 10 list on David Letterman.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2024I will never tire of this movie. Ever.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2005For people like Roger Ebert who pan this movie... you just don't get it.
I'm not claiming any intellectual superiority or great film taste... it's just that I get it.
Perhaps because I see elements of Napoleon Dynamite in me. For instance... his response on the bus "whatever I feel like. Gosh!" When I was in 4th grade I moved from a northern town in Illinois (Geneseo) to a small town called Lousville (pronounced Lewis-ville) in very southern Illinois where the culture was very different and people had Alabama-like accents. When I was riding on the schoolbus, my first day in mid-semester, I was petrified. Everyone stared at me as they stopped at my delapidated trailer to pick me up. A little girl turned around and asked "What's your naaaaame?" To which I replied "shuuuuuuuuuuuut uuuuuup!" And from that day on was greeted by everyone in unison shouting "HI SHUUUUUTUUUP" as I walked on the bus. My reply was out of a vain effort at self-defense... not mean-ness.. and so was Napoleons.
Napoleon's journey was a remarkable, willful transformation, as was that of Deb and Pedro. Kip was amusingly transformed, but not so much with self-awareness. Uncle Rico was the only static character, which made it all the more funny because he had not changed since 1982.
Of all the lines, the one where Napleon told Deb to get her stuff because there wasn't enough room for his nunchucks made me laugh the most hysterically.
Almost all the humor, other than "the dance" was rooted in hilarious subtlety and satire. I mean, how could I not be floored by someone bragging about chatting with hot babes online.... ALL DAY!
The bizarre time-period (An elegant collage of the 70's, 80's, and 90's) gives this film a wide audience and uses silly things from all decades to make it more hilarious.
My conclusion is that people who don't like this movie are either 1) TOO nerdy to realize they are only the one side of the nerdy characters 2) They ARE Summer Wheatley 3) People like Roger Ebert who are absolutely clueless about the level of subtle humor in this film.
To the people comparing this to laughing at clowns... their reviews had me laughing as much as the movie... it's a total comedy in itself. ND is not a clown, he's flippin Superman in moonboots with a fro!
The ONLY other DVD I own is Monty Python's the Holy Grail... which also has incredibly intelligent subtle humor woven into the surface silliness.
For the intellect and the funny bone, I give ND a 5/5 stars. As far as those complaining about the "terrible" soundtrack, I wish I could give it 6/5 stars for having "Forever Young" by Alphaville and "The Promise" by When In Rome as too of the main songs in the soundtrack.
This thing just gets funnier the more I watch it.
P.S. Dear Roger Ebert... please watch this film again, then watch the piece of junk that "Garfield" is, and look at yourself in the mirror and cry.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024I don't know if any of y'all grew up in a small town, like me, but I have family and friends who actually did in *THIS* small town. We lived near the "big" city an hour away and I spent plenty of time in Preston, especially in High School. Napoleon is every nerdy kid in every small town. The jerks, the jocks, the weirdos, thugs, and band geeks are all the same in this movie and every small town. If you lived in, passed through, or thought of a small town, or an American high school in the late 80s and 90s especially, you will be able to relate. And it's Flippin hilarious. So just buy and watch this movie already. Gosh! Do you want a round house kick to the face?! Cuz you might get one if you don't.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2024I enjoyed the movie so much the first time I watched it that I had to get the DVD. The disc plays without a problem and the image quality looks great. This movie is a must have if you enjoy classic movies!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2024Napoleon Dynamite is an acquired taste. It mellows with time so give it another look if you were confused on first viewing. Be sure to select “watch credits” at bottom left corner (adjacent to “Next Up” button) or this Prime rental will cut off before the after-credits, “Two Years Later” ending.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2005From the instant he unpacked his action-figure wrapped in twine from out of his Trapper Keeper and threw it out the bus window to dangle along for the ride, I knew I was going to like Napoleon Dynamite.
I rented this movie at home and watched it with my old and haggard and saddle-bag-thighed ex-wife, who was also poor in her dealings with money. She laughed, but AT Napoleon, in a kind of dumb-founded way that was always wondering what he was going to do next. I laughed too, but because I've always rooted for the misfit, for the underdog, for the loner. For the secret, naive-moron that we all are deep-down. Whether it was drawing expertly-shaded pictures of the beautiful Trisha or giving a report on the exploits of our "underwater ally" (Nessie), I felt like I endured a million hours of junior high and high school with him sitting in the back of the class.
I'm a professional firefighter, and I brought the DVD into work the next day. Before we watched it, I was concerned that it would have too much "dork appeal" for a bunch of alpha-male men-of action. But it soon dawned on me, as the room exploded in laughter again and again, that Napoleon was not so much a dork as he was a little boy who never really grew up. And almost every man can remember what it was like to be 8 years old.
The smarmy "Summer Wheatley" and her unctuous boyfriend looked like real people I went to school with. That guy could've been a blonde version of Sherwin Adams from my class of 1993. It was not difficult to want to see them fall from grace, especially at the hands of the dynamic and well-coiffed Pedro.
The dance scene climax gave me chills to watch, because it reminds us that even the awkward, even the graceless, even the silly or stupid or ugly can do something well. Can do something to admire, even to the point of being envious of it.
This is a sweet, funny, unconventional film made by unorthodox people who poured their brains and heart into it. You will laugh your head off at this movie, or it will miss you completely. Like "Bottle Rocket", you cannot explain what is funny about it. Kudos to Jack White for allowing them the use of the White Stripes song "I think we're going to be friends".
Oh, keep watching after the credits, there's about 5 additional minutes of movie left. And one of the funniest parts of the movie: Kip's song.

rufuszofenluderReviewed in Germany on July 24, 20115.0 out of 5 stars Ein farbenfrohes Meisterwerk!
Du bist mit Kevin Smith aufgewachsen, irgendwann bei Wes Anderson gelandet und suchst neue, inspirierende Filmemacher? Willkommen im Reich von Jared Hess! Napoleon Dynamite ist alles, wonach Du gesucht hast. Geniale Farben, kauzigste Charaktere, großartige Schauspieler und Bedeutungsebenen um Bedeutungsebenen (falls man darauf Wert legt, falls nicht: lehn Dich zurück und genieße den Unfug!). Dieser Film ist charmant, menschlich und abgefahren. Er ist lustig und freakig, er zeigt, dass man immer richtig liegt, so lange man "sein Ding" macht.
Napoleon Dynamite ist ein Nerd, der mitten im schlimmsten Mittleren Westen der USA aufwächst. Selbstverständlich hassen ihn alle Cheerleader und Footballer seiner Schule. Aber was diesen Film so einzigartig gegenüber aller anderer Teeny-Komödien mit diesem Thema macht: Am Ende hat man selbst mit den dämlichsten Cheerleadern Mitleid, weil man erkennt, dass sie als echte Idaho-Landeier im Grunde genauso derbe Außenseiter sind wie Napoleon, ohne dies jedoch jemals zu bemerken und ohne dass sie jemals seinen unbändigen Drang nach Einzigartigkeit besäßen. Setze den coolsten und beliebtesten Charakter aus "Napoleon Dynamite" an die Ostküste und er verliert. Setze Napoleon dorthin und er wird Präsident. Ist Amerika nicht großartig?
