Napoleon Dynamite - Movie Review

An alienated dorky teen with a bizarre family life attempts to help his friend defeat a popular girl in the race for high school class president. That's about all I could come up with to describe this movie. The rest of it is just some very strange, unrelated scenes about the life of a nerdy high school student.

This is the type of movie you either love or hate. If you're a teenager and/or bored and/or stoned you will probably love it. I, on the other hand, thought it was one of the most pointless movies I have ever seen. It is so dumb that it's funny. As dumb as I thought it was, I can see how it became a cult classic with high school kids because it's that type of humor they can relate to; big dork becomes popular despite his dorkiness. But, if you're past high school, it's not worth watching.

Rating: 1 of 5 stars
Would I watch it again: No
Starring: Jon Heder, Jon Gries, Efren Ramirez

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
