Napoleon ten years later…. “It puts the lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again.” Yak! “That’s right, Tina. It gets the hose again.” “Yes it does.” “Just put the frickin’ lotion on the skin then put it back in the basket! GOSH!”

One of my cousins died when I was 17 and it devastated my dad to a point where he hardly left his bed for a while. I didn't know what to do as I had never felt such a profound loss before, let alone witness my dad like that. I showed him Napoleon Dynamite thinking "well, I laughed, maybe he will laugh...there's nothing really offensive in it...If nothing else it'll be distracting." He laughed his ass off, and while the grief ebbs and flows through the years, he still quotes it daily. I wish the people who made this modest "little project" knew how much they helped me and my family throughout that time; all the effort they went through to make it is the reason I was able to cheer my dad up.

It's annoying when I see other films/shows use too many curse words as a filler. It's not funny and it doesn't add anything to the story or scene. Napoleon Dynamite shows you can make a movie on a low budget with clean humor and still find an audience for it. Such a great film. The story behind it is so inspiring!

I agree. It's actually a challenge to make a film without one these days. I'm guilty of it in some of my films as well. It doesn't bug me but it also doesn't add much. Okay maybe sometimes it does 😄

Back when this movie came out I was in sales for a huge poster distributor. I was good at finding and making contact with people coming to our city. I located Aaron Ruell's manager somehow and to my surprise a few days later my phone beeped thru and my coworker said "You have Kip on line 1" lol I just about died. I maintained composure and asked if for about 100 bucks he'd autograph some movie posters. He said sure and told us where we would meet. A day later he calls back and said "My buddy Efren who played Pedro in the film is here too if you'd like his autograph also". I was beside myself. We went and met them at the hotel. They were super nice. Aaron was quiet and Efren was a flirt. I ended up getting some work bonus for the whole thing. I wish Jon had been there. Either way, good memories.

Sure enough, when I watched the movie again, I saw that kid clear as day sitting in the crowd. I believe I heard that Jared Hess grew up in Preston as well.

Great movie. I remember very well when it came out and my friends and I loved it--for its quirkiness. Lots of comments about it being clean, which I also appreciate very much. Too bad J. Hess didn't stay with that strategy, as we will notice in his movies like Gentlemen Broncos. In that movie much of the Napoleon Dynamite innocence is missing. Case in point: the antagonist's pension for altering character names into those that allude to a specific body part. Hess also wove several "adult" themes into the story. Looks like he chucked the clean humor strategy.

I bought this DVD because I was told by so many people I needed to see the movie. I watched it I didn't get it. Uncle Rico was funny I liked that character. A few months later a friend of mine came to visit from out of town and we got talking about it. So I decided to watch it again with him and we laughed our butts off. It could have been all the beer, but the second time I saw it I picked up on the a day in the life humor. I also think it's hilarious that Macks mom from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is in the movie as grandma. She is so funny. "Make a dang case-a-dealy-ya!" Also Pedro's sister, who is uncredited, played in Next Friday with Ice Cube. She was the sister of the cholos who lived across the street from Day Day.
