#6 NAPOLEON DYNAMITE (critical review)

Napoleon Dynamite is an independent film directed by Jared Hess and Jerusha Hess. This movie is an independent comedy film and a great movie to watch with family and friends. Napoleon Dynamite stars Jon Heder as Napoleon, a nerd who befriends a new foreign student,Pedro, played by Efren Ramirez, and Debbie, a shy girl, played by Tina Majorino. These three friends go through a lot of funny experiences together. Napoleon lives with his grandma and his brother Kip, played by Aaron Ruell, who chats with babes and is training to be a cage fighter. But when grandma suffers an accident she sends uncle Rico to watch after Napoleon and Kip. Uncle Rico, played by Jon Gries, comes into Napoleon's life just to ruin it. Like when uncle Rico starts selling Tupperware and Breast Enhancer to the popular girls from Napoleon's high school. I thought this part of the movie was hilarious because what teenager isn't embarrassed by an adult from his family. But this movie also has some issues teenagers can relate to. Like when Pedro runs for class president, he runs against Summer, the popular girl, played by Haylie Duff, knowing that he may lose because no one knows him. But Pedro manages to not fall under pressure and goes on with the speech he prepared. Its things like this part of the movie that I like because people can see that you can do what you want even if it involves running against a popular person. Just do what you got to do like when Napoleon came up with a great skit for Pedro since he hadn't prepared one. I love the scene with Napoleon doing the skit, it was great and with out a doubt my favorite part of the movie. Napoleon Dynamite is one of my favorite movies because it was done on a low budget and really proved itself to be a movie that will be talked about and kept in peoples favorite movie list for a long time. I really enjoyed and loved watching this independent comedy that turned into a huge success. This movie is the best comedy film and every one should watch it.
