Résumés(1)
From the rural town of Preston, Idaho, comes Napoleon Dynamite. With a red 'fro, his moon boots and illegal government ninja moves, he is a new kind of hero. His family consists of fragile brother Kip, who's seeking his soulmate in online chat rooms; Uncle Rico, who is stuck in his "glory" days of high school football; and Grandma, who enjoys going out to the dunes on her quad-runner. Napoleon spends his days drawing magical beasts, working on his computer hacking skills to impress the chicks, and begrudgingly feeding his grandma's pet llama. When his friend Pedro decides to run for class president, it is Napoleon to the rescue to help him triumph over adversity. (texte officiel du distributeur)

I’m probably overly conservative, but this loser story that doesn't really go anywhere is too "weird" for me. There are a few perfect moments but then there is the rest, which lies in a different dimension of humor. Yet for those who sometimes feel a bit "different" in society, it is certainly a blessing... and perhaps not only for them.

Un phénomène à part entière. Pendant une heure et demie, on suit les « aventures » d’une poignée de personnages vraiment – mais vraiment ! – loufoques dans une intrigue tellement plate et banale qu’on ne devrait même pas la qualifier d’intrigue. Pourtant, il s’agit de ce genre de film qui vous reste longtemps en mémoire et vous vous rappellerez avec plaisir les éclats de rire qu'il vous a procurés. Jon Heder dans le rôle-titre est un véritable extraterrestre !

This is truly a film you won't come across just anywhere because it requires the writer and director to have a vision. Napoleon Dynamite really isn't for everyone. Some scenes are surprisingly good, especially in playing with awkwardness, but also in conveying the message that it doesn't matter who we are, we all share this place anyway.
