I don't think I've even heard of this movie until now! I was actually at the movie theatre tonight, but I don't recall seeing anything related to this. Hmmm.

This movie is in select theaters. It is only playing in one theater in my city. It is an MTV movie and that station has been advertising it a lot.

Oh, well that would explain it then. I read over the IMDb info, and it still didn't seem familiar.

I'm with you, Righty. I saw this last week and thought it was a scream. My kind of comedy.

If you like this movie you might also like Ghost World, Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, and Election. These are sort of in the same vein...very dry oddball character driven comedies.

BTW, I saw this at my favorite little art house theater in Santa Monica during the week where I am usually only one of a few people in the audience...but this was packed! A lot of High School age kids...they must be advertising it on MTV.

From Preston, Idaho, comes Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder), a new kind of hero, complete with a tight red

I dislike when certain films, mostly documentary films, are in select theaters. I want to see Metallica's Some Kind of Monster but I cannot find a theater close to me to where I'll be able to see it.

A new scene will be added to the end of Napoleon Dynamite this Friday! Looks like I will be seeing it for a third time soon. :)
