napoleon dynamite: my tribute to the movie gods

'how was napoleon dynamite' you ask? quite possibly the worst movie of all time. end of story.

not.

ok.

so now you might be asking: 'how was napoleon dynamite?' ill tell you. it was grand. awesome. stupendous. all 3 combined even. why was is all of the above?
  • storyline: there is no storyline. well, kindof. a high school guy in idaho. hes got a crazy family that include: a 32 year old brother into looking for soulmates on the internet, a grandma who hangs with those way to young for her age (one of those 'im young at heart' type of grandmas), an uncle who is a strait up jerk but probably the nicest most niiave jerk ever. probably the only thing you can get out of the movie that is plot-related is that napoleon and his friend pedro, who is running for school president, help to win the election.
  • originality: have you seen the movie? have you ever seen a movie like it? i doubt it. this is the filmed movie version of 'The Real World: Idaho, 1980s or 90s (im not sure)..Featuring:
    Napoleon!
    Grandma!
    Kip!
    Uncle Rico!
    Debb!
    Tina!
    and...
    Pedro!'
    lets think about what action moments there are in this movie: hmm...uncle rico tackles napoleon to the ground because he through some sort of citrical fruit at his van (which is an AWESOME van)
    lets think about what romantic moments there are in this movie: there is a school dance, but noone freak dances and they all are at least a foot apart. what the heck? its high school.
    lets think about the comedic moments in this film: to be honest this thing would be sooo long. ill just say go see the movie. 
  • the low budget that domintated the box office film: i have seen the movie three times. each time ith a different person and each time over a week from the last. first time: 100% full, people were sitting on the ground second time: 95%, an open seat here and there, people sitting on the ground. third time, 70% full, the first few rows were open, and the back was packed. this is at bella botega each time, during prime showings, 755, 755 and 1010. low budget? they dont need anyone doing stunts, (well there was 1 actually) they hardly need to rent any cool automobiles, no planes, no helicopters, just a bus for a scene, and a school bus for a few scenes, and this kickass retro van that i could buy for 500 dollars.
  • advertisements: i hate it when movies ruin themselves by putting the funniest parts in the advertisements. youve got napoleon up there just talking, which makes me laugh, and everyone else i bet. what more could you ask for. i saw the commercial, and he said like 'go see my movie' i just started breakin the fudge out in laughter because it was so funny. i guess after i saw the movie once or twice i did see a commercial that had a few scenes in it, but there were to many in the actual movie to ruin it just in the advertisement.
  • a solo dance by napoleon: this made the theatre go crazy. hes not sexy, good looking, he was a good dancer tho. the actor looked like he had some sort of professional training. oh man, the crowd in the theatre lit of with laughter, including myself. even after the third time i saw the movie, i was still laughing, not as thoroughly, but i was. no doubt. anyways, to sum it up, go see the movie or something. 8)
