Napoleon Dynamite (2004) |
<<back |

|
 |
Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) is a high-school outcast in every sense of the word. More interested in playing tetherball by himself and drawing pictures of his favourite animal, the "liger" (a combination of lion and tiger), Napoleon is ignored by everyone in his tiny hometown of Preston, Idaho. At home, things aren't much better. His uber-nerd older brother Kip (Aaron Ruell) and ultra-vain Uncle Rico (Jon Gries) are too busy with their own obsessions to give Napoleon the time of day. But when Pedro (Efren Ramirez) arrives at his school, Napoleon finds friendship and performs an act of brave defiance that has him classed as a true hero. Jared Hess' directorial debut was a sleeper hit in the US, and with a soundtrack full of 80s hits, Napoleon Dynamite deftly captures the awkwardness of adolescence and the high school years.
