A torturously funny film that is amazingly accurate in its portrayal of life in a Mormon town. Most of the smaller towns in the Rocky-mountian west are predominantly Mormon.
Although it doesn't say it in the movie, Napoleon is a Mormon kid.
The clues are everywhere. His "Ricks College" t-shirt is a dead give away. Ricks College is a Mormon school, (now called BYU Idaho). The second-hand store where Napoleon shops is one store in a whole chain of stores scattered throughout Utah, Idaho, Arizona and Nevada called "Deseret Industries", (pronounced Des..err...et) or "DI" for short, and is owned and operated by the Mormon Church.
Napoleon talks about scout camp. The Boy Scout program is almost single-handedly run by the Mormon (LDS) Church in the west, and is a very significant part of their development program for boys. The director and his co-writer wife are Mormon, so is the actor who plays Napoleon. Most of the cast/crew are from Brigham Young University, (BYU)and most of the cool words that Napoleon uses like flip and gosh have been used by Mormon kids for decades.
Even the liger has roots in growing up in the Mormon west...the liger was a real half-lion half-tiger that actually lived for many years at the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, and is well known to legions of Mormon kids who went to Hogle Zoo on field trips. After it died it was stuffed and mounted and is still on display at the zoo.
Though no-fault of the director, (the film is loosely based on his life in Preston) much of the deeply subtle humor in the movie is only caught by those familiar with Mormon culture. Napoleons clothes and the furniture in his house for instance, are all "total DI".
All in all, a "funny as heck" movie that can be enjoyed by all and is well worth seeing whoever and whatever you are.

1. Napoleon Dynamite was so fucking funny! Remember the part where the guy said "your mom goes to college?"
2. Napoleon Dynamite was okay. I mean, I didn't hate it or anything.
3. "Your mom goes to college?" What the fuck does that mean?

An extremely funny movie. It's appropriate for everyone to watch seeing as it was made by a bunch of Mormons. It's quite random but makes anyone who knows good stuff chuckle. It's funnier the more you watch it.
It's unfortunately become commercialized just as everything esle nowadays is, but still enjoyable if you don't let stupid people who don't even get the real sense of the movie ruin it for you.
I reccomend it.

"Can you bring me my chapstick?"
"Gosh, Napoleon, make yourself a darn quesadilla!"
"I like your sleeves, they're real big."

A pretty funny movie if you watched it when it came out and before EVERY FAGGOT IN THE WORLD started using phrases from it like "GOSH" and "FLIPPIN SWEET" and shit like that.
This movie got played out like hell...everyone ruined its funnyness by over using lines from it.

Napoleon Dynamite is a highly overrated movie. There were plenty of funny parts, and parts that show what an average day is like for many kids who get picked on and mistreated, but it's not the best movie ever. The movie is quoted and misquoted so often, that none of the jokes are even remotely funny anymore. For some reason all the 'scenesters' and 'emo kids' like this movie and idolize it. Not because they thought it was funny, but because their friend thought it was funny. This isn't even the best low-budget movies. Monty Python, Ed Wood movies, and even Barbarella kicks this movies ass!.
Kid1: "Your mom went to the college." (Do you think I'm funny now?)
Kid2: "YES OMGZ GOSH GOSH GOSH GOSH GOSH GOSH GOSH GOSH GOSH GOSH I LOVE THAT MOVIE"
Kid1: "AWESOME. RAD. LETS ANNOY EVERYONE ELSE WITH OUR LAME OBSESSION"
Kid2: &&&&&&&&&&;;;;;;;;;;;;;.

Don: Hey, Napoleon. What did you do last summer again?
Napoleon Dynamite: I told you! I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines!
Don: Did you shoot any?
Napoleon Dynamite: Yeah, like, fifty of them! They were surrounding my cousin! What the heck would you do in a situation like that?
Don: What kind of gun did you use?
Napoleon Dynamite: A friggin' twelve gauge, what do you think?
