Napoleon Dynamite | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

There's something distinctly sour-tasting in how long the film lingers on its characters doubling-down on their awkwardness.

The approach has all the lasting charm of a train derailment, but at least the train is going somewhere before it is brought to disaster.

For all its charm and its impeccable leads, Napoleon Dynamite is a modish exercise in anti-cool. Still, a strong debut for all its young talents.

One-of-a-kind high school comedy for the family.

Napoleon's climactic spaz-out dance is more than just a goofy gag. It's a payoff to a great buddy-system comedy and the idea that it's not high school's dreams and regrets that last, but the sometimes-bizarre friendships.
