Napoleon Dynamite

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

I watched this slight teen comedy about a total nerd with an amazingly dysfunctional family in Idaho and enjoyed it despite myself. Its ending is really well done. I loved the boy and girl geeks What’s lovely about the thing is that they truly remain geeks and you do understand why other people find them to be so weird and unappealing. In my heart of hearts, of course, I identify as one of those nerds who are socially inept and whose grip on reality is thin at best. Anyway, better that this become a sleeper cult hit (which it did) than the slasher and sex garbage that most kids get to watch
