Napoleon Dynamite

Year: 2004

Duration: 96 min

Sporting a hideous haircut, Preston, Idaho's gangly, bespectacled, sixteen-year-old loser, Napoleon Dynamite, actually thinks he is too cool for school. But, when he is not locking horns with his thirtysomething chat-room addict brother, Kip, or trying to avoid Uncle Rico, who's still living in the past, Napoleon whiles away the time doodling mythical creatures. Then, Napoleon's life becomes complicated, as two unexpected friends enter the picture: the budding photographer, Deb, and Pedro, the quiet school newcomer who wants to run for high school president. Would you vote for Pedro?—Nick Riganas
