The soundtrack is nice and nostalgic, and there are some genuinely laugh-out-loud funny moments. Napoleon Dynamite does have a refreshingly distinctive time-warp look that recalls the style-challenged 1980s though, and that was refreshing in itself. Where it is not quite so good is in the episodic story structure and some of the supporting characters particularly comic-book-geek older brother and the ageing jock uncle were disappointingly one-dimensional and could have been further explored in terms of depth. What I did like about Napoleon Dynamite was that it was unique, funny, quirky and original. I can also say I do think there are much worse movies out there- Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, Home Alone 4, Cat in the Hat and Superbabies:Baby Geniuses 2 are much worse than this film. Napoleon Dynamite by all means is not a five-star masterpiece, and it mayn't be to everybody's tastes but I was surprised at how much I liked it, even with its problems.
Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 7 / 10 Napoleon Dynamite mayn't be to everybody's tastes, but personally I liked it 'Nuff said that it's a film you'll probably either love or hate NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. While I could easily recount the film or discuss moments I like, there have been so many reviews of the film already that I wouldn't be adding anything. Most who hated it described it as "boring" or a "one-joke film" those who loved it, loved the joke and didn't mind that all the major characters in the film were so low-energy and bizarre. This seems to indicate that the film probably is one of the more polarizing I have seen and I think this is due to the very, very low-key style of the film. Those who liked the film, loved the film and everyone else seemed to hate it.
This day, the other teachers' opinions of the two of us probably dropped considerably! Later, I asked the kids what they thought of this, and while the percentage who liked it was much higher, once again there seemed to be no middle ground. Teacher after teacher said how they hated the film and just didn't understand it-during which time, the guitar teacher and myself were laughing hysterically as we recounted our favorite scenes. It's funny, actually, because a while back I was sitting in the teacher's lounge and somehow this movie became a topic. I realize that the audience for this film is NOT middle-aged, but even in my mid-40s I still enjoy the film.
I am an old man-at least when it comes to watching NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. Reviewed by MartinHafer 9 / 10 I feel like I'm all alone here.
