PREMISE
High school. We all remember it. This is a story out of the life of the coolest uncool high school dweeb-geek-dork of all time: Napoleon Dynamite.
THEMES
I'm not sure there were any deliberate themes in the film. But if there were some, they're probably that everyone eventually gets their day, everything works out in the end, and there's a woman out there for every man.
LIKES
This movie is hilarious, at least in my opinion. It's like an irresistibly horrifying train wreck with a happy ending. There are too many things I could list that were just ingeniously funny.
"I caught you a delicious bass."
Tina Majorino is super cute.
Gives me hope that someday even I might finally go on my first date, let alone get a girlfriend.
DISLIKES
Uncle Rico's meddling. It was annoying at times.
Reminding me of high school.
S-L-V CONTENT
The content here doesn't test the boundaries of PG. In other words it's relatively clean of S-L-V. The worst you're going to get is a bunch of vain uses of the Lord's name, a comic attempt for a small portion of the film to get women to buy breast-enhancing herbs, and a female character who, for a small portion of the film, is a bit sensual in her general presentation.
ROB'S FINAL OPINION
4 out of 4 stars - I loved it!
This is simply one of my all-time favorite movies. I've seen it many times, and will go one seeing it, hopefully often with people who have never seen it.
