Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Jonathan R. Perry (254) for Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas) (351) on 09 Sep 2004

Its acutely observed triumph is also its undoing: It's hard to satirize oppressive tedium without becoming oppressively tedious…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Sean Mcbride (367) for Sean the Movie Guy (367) on 05 Sep 2004

I don't know if I was laughing at [Napoleon] or with him, but I was certainly laughing during the movie…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 03 Sep 2004

This is a movie for the kid who ever thought about keeping a pair of nunchucks in his locker, or preferred drawing pictures of sword-fighting…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Martin Scribbs (122) for Low IQ Canadian (84) on 03 Sep 2004

With wit as dry as the chapped lips of a constant mouth-breather, Napoleon Dynamite finds moments of painful reserve even in slapstick…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Ken Hanke (2,234) for Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) (2,247) on 11 Aug 2004

Yes, Napoleon Dynamite has some of that annoying forced indie quirkiness, but it also possesses a certain wayward originality…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Kevin Lally (258) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 07 Aug 2004

Whether audiences laugh at or with them, the motley denizens of Preston, Idaho, and Napoleon Dynamite seem poised to win a devoted fan base…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 29 Jul 2004

It's easy to envision 'Napoleon' eventually becoming a staple of college DVD parties, in the same way that 'Office Space,' 'High Fidelity…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Carla Meyer (580) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 28 Jul 2004

Has to be enjoyed in spurts. There's no cohesive story, just a series of opportunities for the title character (Jon Heder) to strut his gawky stuff…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Jackie K. Cooper (1,018) for jackiekcooper.com (943) on 25 Jul 2004

There is nothing dynamic about this Dynamite…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Matt Brunson (2,422) for Creative Loafing (2,337) on 20 Jul 2004

Jon Heder delivers a fearless performance that's almost breathtaking in its wormy detail…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Mannyc. (2) on 19 Jul 2004

What gets me is how this thing killed at Sundance?!? What a terrible, unnessessary, boring self-degrading film…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Jeffl. (14) on 18 Jul 2004

As the titular high school ubergeek, Jon Heder gives a truly original performance…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Phil Villarreal (1,289) for Arizona Daily Star (983) on 15 Jul 2004

It's more the fusion of forces by friends on the same askew wavelength who combine their skills into something greater than their sum…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Joshua Tyler (625) for CinemaBlend.com (1,378) on 03 Jul 2004

Jared Hess pushes Napoleon's stupidity as far as it can go in pursuit of cheap laughs, but achieves nothing that isn't easily forgettable…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for FilmJerk.com (622) on 02 Jul 2004

It's an empty, affected experience, and a 5-minute joke stretched out to 85 of the most soul-sucking, higher-power-questioning minutes found…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Jean Lowerison (512) for San Diego Metropolitan (486) on 02 Jul 2004

Napoleon Dynamite is no Election or Welcome to the Dollhouse, but this Sundance hit is a pleasant enough outing…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Chris Hewitt (2,086) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 01 Jul 2004

We laugh at all the nerdy behavior in the movie, and there's a reason that's OK: Because, deep down, we know we are all nerds…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 01 Jul 2004

We laugh at all the nerdy behavior in the movie, and there's a reason that's OK: Because, deep down, we know we are all nerds…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Tom Long (1,693) for Detroit News (2,682) on 01 Jul 2004

An independent take on a Hollywood tradition, undermined by its cliches but saved by its performances…

Review of Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

By Jeff Vice (1,455) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 01 Jul 2004
