Movie Review — "Napolean Dynamite"

Okay, so I never actually wrote a review for Napolean Dynamite after I saw it. I just contrasted it with the movie "Elephant" b/c I had just let Andrew watch that movie the same day we saw Napolean and they are total opposite ends of the spectrum.

Napolean Dynamite is (honestly) the funniest movie I've seen this year. But not only is it a really funny teen movie, it's a really good feel good movie. When I left the theater, it was the best feeling I've ever had leaving a theater. Honestly. It's just so funny, so moving, and so rockin'.

I found out what makes this movie so good. It's written/directed by and starring Mormons. Well, they aren't neccessarily Mormon, but they did meet/get together at Brigham Young University. That would also explain why the movie is so clean. It's rated PG, and has absolutely nothing offensive in it. I can handle any type of content in any movie mind you, but it was so refreshing to have something family friendly yet not even made for kids.

Napolean is just so angry at the world, his friend Pedro seems to be oblivious, but you can tell he's got alot going on upstairs. Deb is that loser girl you remeber from high school. Kip will most likely be me when I'm 30 years old.....or at least my brother. No, wait, my brother hates women and wouldn't even chat with them online for 3—4 hours at a time. (I myself am scared of them, so stop making gay jokes) Summer and that other jerk are typical 'cool' kids in high school. By now they are already married with two kids and a few mortgages. Whatever other character I'm leaving out, you can still relate to.

I'm skipping actual plot discussion in hopes that you will be curious enough to watch the movie your own darn self, so nevermind that.

Napolean Dynamite is the comedy everyone wants to make. It's the movie I wanted to make. But dammit, I'm a pathetic lazy loser and can't even make the friggin movie I wanted to. Maybe I should become a Mormon. I have the tie, I just need a shirt and a bike.

Ok, I'll admit that my reviews are basically me saying "Hey, I saw this movie and thought you should know." .......but sadly you don't care, at least I don't, so I will at least advise you to watch it..............OR DIE.

or don't......and live.......I don't care.
