I Heart Napoleon Dynamite

I saw Napoleon Dynamite for the second time last night. It makes me laugh.

Stylistically, it's an MTV Films clone of Wes Anderson. As a hybrid of the two, it works. Only occasionally is Napoleon Dynamite detrimentally reminiscent, and even then the moments are too hilarious to pay too much attention to.

Honestly, there are plenty of reasons not to like the movie. If you don't think the whole Napoleon Dynamite character is funny, you're probably going to want to walk out. But check the trailer and if you enjoy it, I swear you'll love the film.
