Negative Positive
Title: Loved and hated
Review: Wow, blast to the past. Jon Feder in this movie reminds me a lot of one of my ex-colleagues (in a good way), which makes watching this quite strange. Napoleon's eccentricities are all so amazingly weird that by the time we get to the end we're really truly relived to see his transformation - and my jaw nearly dropped when I saw it achieved. Skits tied together don't always turn out well, but this little film sort of has what it takes to stretch out to full length. My own high school experience was more like Napoleon Dynamite than other films like American Pie (good grief). The internet romance between Kip and Lafawnduh is a bit unlikely, as is the weirdness of "Uncle Rico" being Napoleon's guardian (Jon Heder was 27 when Napoleon Dynamite was filmed) is a stretch, but it's all in good fun. Vote Pedro!
