  Napolean Dynamite

Now here's a movie! Napoleon Dynamite is absolutely brilliant. Not brilliant in the manner most of us think of as brilliant, but rather, this film has an unsuspecting, quiet brilliance… very similar to "Bottle Rocket" or "Rushmore".

Not only brilliant, Napoleon Dynamite unabashedly triumphs the geek in all of us. It is, as a mater of fact, one of the most positive, heart-felt, honest, humble, and witty movies I have seen in a very, very long time. Furthermore, there is level of courageousness to this film that most viewers probably won't, at first, even notice. The character of Napoleon Dynamite is fearless… utterly fearless. He defends himself against bullies, he dances in front of a crowd of hundreds, he is gutsy and spirited in the face of overwhelming odds even though he will pay for it later. Dynamite is a hero for the ages… or maybe just a hero of the 1980's.

If you do not like this movie, there is, quite simply, something wrong with you.
