4.5 out of 10 Donal O'Sullivan
Donal from Cork, 30 Jul 2007
If you are thinking of renting this film.......trust me, just rent it right now........I guarantee it will be like nothing you have ever watched before and I guarantee it will leave you with a nice feeling in your stomach........basically, the main character, Napoleon, is a complete misfit, not really even a nerd because he isn't even really any good at schoolwork.......the kid has issues, but he deals with them in the best, most unorthodox way he can......Liverpool for the league this season...

4.5 out of 10 Vote for Pedro!
Ciaran from Dublin, 15 May 2007
A modern classic. Hard to categorise and I'm sure some people won't get it (like Noel below) but for those who like movies off the straight and narrow with quirks to boot then this is a gem. I could watch Napoleon and Pedro all day as they trudge through life as teenage nerds. The antics and the line delivery is second to none and for me this is one of the best movies of the year it was released. And what about the Uncle?! Great character...!

3 out of 10 Not very explosive.
Brian from Mayo, 09 Oct 2007
This is a bit of a cult hit, and as such should be approached with caution. Don't rent this expecting a teen comedy with dirty jokes and sex. This is a slow moving, rambling film that does contain some genuine laughs. The characters are all very likable and it leaves you feeling good at the end. It depends on what kind of film you like. Personally, I found it good, but not great.

0 out of 10 Whats the point of this movie?
Noel from Dublin, 13 Apr 2007
This movie sucked from start to finish. I'm surprised i even watched the end of it. It was like an updated of revenge of the nerds only nowhere near as entertaining. I would rate it in terms of entertainment value right up there with cleaning my oven and watching paint dry. Actually come to think of it, it probably wasn't even as entertaining as that!

What's it about....
From Preston, Idaho comes Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder), a new kind of hero complete with a tight red 'fro, some sweet moon boots, and skills that can't be topped. Napoleon lives with his Grandma (Sandy Martin) and his 30 year old unemployed brother Kip (Aaron Russell), who spends his days looking for love in internet chat rooms. When Grandma hits the road on her quad runner, Napoleon and Kip's meddling Uncle Rico (Jon Gries) comes to town to stay with them and run their...
