Movie Review: Napoleon Dynamite

I borrowed Napoleon Dynamite from a friend the other day and watched it with the rest of my family. Well, I watched most of it with the rest of my family, but my little brother left because he thought it was a stupid movie. To many extents, he was right... but that's part of the charm of the movie.
It was extremely stupid, and yet it is either too familiar for the people in the Idaho/Utah area, or too unreal everywhere else (I watched it with a freind from Washington D.C. as well, and when I commented that it's all so true, he couldn't believe it), which causes you to just stare in facination as either your own culture is poked at from every corner, or you can't believe that anyone could concievably act like this (and it's funnier if you know it's true).
For examples of what I mean, take the following quotes:

Don:"So Napoleon, what'd you do all last summer again?"

Napoleon:"I already told you! I spent it with my uncle up in Alaska hunting wolverines."

Don:"Did you shoot any?"

Napoleon:"Yeah, like fifty of 'em! They were trying to attack my cousin; what the heck would you do in a situation like that?"

Don:"What kind of gun did you use?"

Napoleon:"A freakin' 12 gage; what do you think?"

Now, not everybody from this area is as nerdy as Napoleon, or as prone to streching the truth. But the way he uses his language: it all sounds so mormon. The language is the biggest thing that people notice about the movie, anyway, probably because of how prevalant it is.

Napoleon:You know, there's like a butt-load of gangs at this school.

Another reason this movie is good is because of just how nerdy all the characters are. They try to make them as nerdy as possible, and succeed quite well.

Kip: Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

And what woman could resist Napolean's pick up line?

Napoleon: I see you're drinking one percent. Is that because you think you're fat?

And what of Napolean's dating advice?

Napoleon: Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills...

In conclusion, go see the movie if you haven't. If I had to rate it, I'd give it an 8/10, because I really enjoyed it, but it was stupid, but it made up for it by being generally entertaining.
