Napoleon Dynamite
reviewed by Brian "The Naked Gun" Felts

One of the very first scenes of the movie depicts how I feel about this movie. Napoleon gets on
board a school bus and sits in the back, pulls a plastic He-Man type toy out of his book, ties it
with string and throws out the window of the bus. There is a boy watching him do this and he has
this dumb founded look like "What the fuck are you doing?" That describes this movie best. I laughed
three times in the first 20 minutes and one was the obligatory guy getting hit in the nuts shot. I
actually went to the end of the movie and started watching from the ending to see if it was better.
It didn't help much. Some independent movies are quite funny and good, for example, Garden State.
This looks like it was made by Paris Hilton, non-porn, and this is how she thinks people who don't
live in LA or NY are like. I didn't get this movie, I don't think you will either.
