Just because… Napoleon Dynamite

Last week, a chance conversation with a friend revealed our mutual love of Napoleon Dynamite, one of the funniest films ever. It totally cheers me up and given that my RSI has reared up again with a vengeance, I could do with a laugh. As much as I love Jon Heder, his geeky internet-obsessed bro Kip - who wants to be a cage fighter - almost steals the film.

Jon Heder is back on the big screen next year in School for Scoundrels, Mama’s Boy and as an Olympic skater in Blades of Glory (with Will Ferrell).

You gotta love those Prom moves…

    Agree. Napolean Dynamite is a classic, a great movie for all ages. When you see the opening credits, you just know its going to be good.
    Haven’t seen Nacho Libre (same director)yet, but I see its out now on DVD.

    Hey stranger!

    I enjoyed Nacho Libre but it wasn’t as funny as I had expected, and I love Jack Black. Still enjoyed it though, but then it compares very favourably to Jack Black’s two most recent films. Tenacious D is initially funny but the gags get old very soon and The Holiday is well… I can only assume he needed the money for Christmas.

    I LOVE Napoleon Dynamite. The bit in the cafeteria where he says tells the girl she could be drinking whole milk if she wanted to makes me laugh every time!

    Get well soon Sinead!

    Well, I just hope that RBI isn’t as uncomfortable as RSI!
