Depending on who you ask, Jared Hess' 2004 comedy 'Napoleon Dynamite' was either hilarious or agonizing and I tend to agree with the former. The movies's story follow high schooler Napoleon (played hilariously by John Heder) throughout part of one of his school years. The movie starts with Napoleon finding out his grandmother has been put in hospital due to an accident while dune buggying and he has to be looked after by his weird uncle of which he very much so dislikes. What follows is a very funny series of events that start with Napoleon meeting Pedro, a foreign student and deciding he should run for school president. The plot pretty well based around Pedro's run for presidency, but most of the laughs come from Napoleon's terrible social skills and his off beat brother. Not everyone will enjoy this movie, but if you do love the humor you'll find this movie a delight.
8/10
