With his unruly mop of curly hair, bad glasses and strange clothes, Napoleon Dynamite does not fit the mould of a popular kid in school. Add his strange brother, slacker uncle and a couple of pet llamas, and he is about as far from cool as you can get. But in this funny and endearing film, Napoleon shows how if you refuse to be labelled as a loser, you can eventually win on your terms.

I would really want to watch this because I have been told that it is very funny and enjoyable.It is not at all rude and you can see imaginations of the people who wrote the script.It is not as long as the last one we watched,which gives us more chance to talk about it afterwards.So I would be overjoyed to watch it.
thankyou for reading my review.

Napoleon Dynamite is very good. In parts of it it’s funny. my favourite bits are the dance when Nepoleon goes with Trisha but ends up dancing with Deb and the school elections when Napoleon’s friend runs against Summer.

Napoleon dynamite is the best film i have ever seen. I think that it is very funny.theese are my favorite parts. When napoleon does his dance it was soooooooo funny and weired at the same time. I also liked the part where he drew the picture of trisha it was scarey lookinto me. And the way he dresses with his curly hair and geeky glases. He needs to go on what not to where with trinny and suzanna big time. I also liked the part where he threw an eggroll at his uncles campervan and then his uncle chased him and he fell climbing the fence. And that girl debs yeah shes weird. And I also loved the part were his brother met lafondur she made him dress up like a gansta he looked sooooooooooooooooo cool. If I was rateing this film I would give it 100 out of 100 you should really watch it .You would love it hope you like my review by lara carson

Fascinating facts
As testament of his dedication to the part of Uncle Rico, Jon Gries who is a vegetarian had to eat steak in many of his scenes. He chewed on the meat and spat it right out once the scene was completed.
When it was produced in 2004, the makers of Napoleon Dynamite were working with such a low budget that star Jon Heder was paid just $1000 to play Napoleon. The film ended up making over $40 million in the US alone!
