Napoleon Dynamite: Reflection

I considered even blogging my thoughts about this film, Napoleon Dynamite. It is a movie that is recognized nationally and perhaps even globally. It was released in 2004 and since then has been loved by millions. I remember the first time I saw this movie, I thought it was hilarious and I honestly couldn't get enough of the awkward humor. However once it exploded into this new phenomenon I started to get a bit sick of the "dude, my lips hurt real bad," comment.

As many of you may already know this is a film about a teenager by the name of Napoleon Dynamite. He lives in Idaho and lives an 'odd' life if you will. It's just a story about his life, his family, his friends, his school and all that he goes through. One main thing I really enjoy this film is that it's probably the only film I have seen without some sort of violence, sexual content etc; with the exception of child films.

I would recommend this to someone who hasn't seen the film and who has a weird sense of humor. For most people I have talked to about the movie, there is a bittersweet relationship with it. Either people love it, or they find it annoying. I still think people should view it if they haven't already, just to see what the hype is all about.
