Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

Director: Jared Hess
Writers:  Jared Hess, Jerusha Hess
Cast:      Jon Heder, Efren Ramirez, Jon Gries
Napoleon Dynamite is a geek who is alienated in his school and has an equally geeky family with a awkward brother and an uncle who comes to stay with them. He befriends a Mexican student and tries to win him the Presidency election of the class. The plot looks cliched but its the characters that make this film special. There is a scene after the closing credit which shouldn't be missed. The film was a sleeper hit as it has made 46 million dollars on a budget of 0.4 million. It was Jared Hess feature film debut as a director.

Rating: 3.5/5
