Even those who haven't seen this movie know that “Napoleon Dynamite” took America by storm in 2004. This low budget film was released in June 04, and it paid for itself every single weekend since. Teenagers went to the theatres to see it-some up to 20 times.
For lack of a better description, Napoleon Dynamite is the story of a geeky kid named Napoleon who decides to help his new friend Pedro win the class presidency in their small town high school. His family life consists of an even geekier brother, Kip, who “chats online with babes all day” and his Uncle Rico who wishes he could go back to high school and play football again.
