Napoleon Dynamite

Another fun-filled weekend with my father is thankfully over, but I did get a movie out of the deal. We just saw Napoleon Dynamite, and while it wasn't the best comedy I've seen this year, I found it enjoyable.

The character-driven film, completely devoid of big-name celebrities and big-budget effects, made Napoleon a refreshingly different movie experience. It didn't contain anything objectionable, choosing to play off character quirkiness as opposed to sick gags.

I like random movies, but sometimes this one was a little too random. I laughed pretty hard maybe three times, but the rest of the movie simply aroused an amused smile. I don't know if I'd recommend it for everyone, so let's just say it's a great kickback movie. 6/10
