Movie Review: Napoleon Dynamite

Well, I may be behind the curve, but I did finally see Napoleon Dynamite. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it! It's definately a quirky movie with lots of odd pauses and minimal dialogue. It's definately in the genre of oddball-looser wins big just by being himself. What's funny is that it's not just Napoleon who wins by being true to himself.

While Joy and I were watching, we had a hard time deciding what era the movie was supposed to be in. It kept looking like an 80's movie with the clothes most of the characters were wearing. Turns out that it doesn't really matter what era it takes place in. It's obviously a small rural town to which change comes slowly.

In the end it's a funny movie and reminds us that just because we're nerds that doesn't mean we're not cool.
