We watched this movie again a few days ago and it’s one of those movies that just gets better and better every time you watch it.
To be honest, I didn’t care much for it the first time around. When it first came out I remember hearing about it, but I passed on it. Somehow I got roped into watching it. I don’t even remember how or by whom, but I thought it was just silly.
Some time later, on a whim I just decided to pick it up and watch it again. I really enjoyed it a lot more the second time around. Since then, every couple years or so I just sit and watch it again. Every time I watch it I notice something new that makes me enjoy it even more.
The uniqueness of this film is really something else. But that’s what makes it so entertaining. Napoleon Dynamite is a quirky character but his role is extremely engaging. He’s not alone in that because you also have Pedro, his uncle, his grandma, his brother, his girlfriend, his brother’s girlfriend and their dynamic, Pedro’s cousins, Rex Kwon Do, his wife, and many more. It’s just a memorable film that you should check out.
I’m not going to spend a lot of time detailing the film because that would be nearly impossible to do. Also, it is an older film and if you want some reviews you can easily find those online.
My objective in writing this is for those of you who’ve never seen the movie. I’m writing this not so much as a review but more as a recommendation for you to get moving and watch this film. If you are a fan of offbeat comedies and dry humor, you won’t regret it. Also, if you watch this film, your wildest dreams may come true and Pedro offers you his protection.
By the way, I recently found out that there was a TV series too. I’m going to check that out!
