Just incredibly mind-numbing and unfunny...

Napoleon Dynamite may not even be friggin' sweet, but it does have skills. [Blu-ray]

For most of its length this delivers a steady stream of uncomfortable gut laughs.

If you have an indie film sense of humor -- and those of you who have it know what I mean -- you'll probably enjoy this flick.

Perihelion Journal

It’s a cast of brilliant caricatures, and as such recalls the films of Wes Anderson.

Time Out

Seething with teen-angst irritability and an obstinate blind ignorance to just how much of an outcast he is, Napoleon Dynamite may be the biggest dork in the history of high school movies.

As long as you don't mind making fun of the afflicted, there are some killer comic moments.

Delights in deadpan %u2013 celebrates nerd. And is a testament that beauty can be found everywhere. A charming, albeit quite odd cinematic piece. Harold and Maude -lite.

Napoleon Dynamite may be forcefully weird and intermittently humorous, and you might not know what the heck to make of it, but there's nothing shocking about its screenplay.

Functions like an excruciating episode of Jerry Springer.

Lessons of Darkness

A Roschach test of viewer empathy… while I respect the concerns of those who find the movie cruel, I have to side with those who find it ultimately endearing.

'March to the beat of your own drum,' the movie may say, 'but we will laugh at you.'
