Napoleon Dynamite Review

By Joe Lozito ★☆★☆☆☆

MOVIE TITLE	Napoleon Dynamite
RELEASE YEAR	2004
MPAA RATING	PG
OUR RATING	★☆★☆☆☆
SUMMARY	Misguided attempt to make a quirky teen comedy set in a timewarped section of Idaho featuring a hero who only gets more socially inept as the movie progresses. Writer-director Jared Hess tries for John Hughes by way of the Coen Brothers, but only comes up with one dull, unfunny non-sequitur after another.
