Napoleon Dynamite is the offbeat, bizarre comedy made by _________ in 2004. It was an independent fill but it became a huge hit blah blah blah... I don't think I had ever even heard of it until I kept seeing the VOTE FOR PEDRO shirts popping up all over the internet.
Anyhow, Napoleon Dynamite is set in rural Idaho, somewhere around our time (no earlier than the release of the song "Larger than Life by the Backstreet Boys), but the movie feels like it could be set anytime within the 80's or 90's based on clothing and personal style of some of the characters -z I don't know what people wear in Idaho, but those boots are so 80's. The timeframe of the film really doesn't matter however, because as soon as the movie begins the main character, Napoleon Dynamite goes on a series of meaningless, surreal adventures.
Every humorous aspect from the movie is disconnected from any meaning. Even the name Napoleon Dynamite (seemingly borrowed from one of Elvis Costello's monikers) plays no significant role in the movie. It is this absurdity of much of the events in Napoleon Dynamite that drives the humor. There isn't a wrinkle in the humor, and if you watch it expecting cleverness and wit, you won't enjoy it. Any notable moment from the movie, from to the stereotypical fob Mexican, to Napoleon's brother's interracial relationship is devoid of any zing. Instead the movie is about the glossed over reality of Napoleon's life and Napoleon's apathetic approach to reality.
Napoleon Dynamite is one of the few movies not made for little kids that has a rating of PG. That's pretty impressive in and of itself for a movie to make it these days without any sexual or violent content, or language. Napoleon Dynamite doesn't have any of the slapstick sexual humor found in other adolescent comedies
Random Tidbits:
Napoleon's brother kip wears braces in the movie. Only noticed that while looking through photos on the official website.
The Rex Kwan Do guy is Diedrich Bader, the actor who plays Oswald on The Drew Carey Show. I thought I recognized his voice, but it was tough to recognize him with the mustache.
