If you had $400,000 and a video camera, what would you do? Could you turn it into about $50,000,000 in less than a year? Me neither. But Jared Hess did just that with his cult hit Napoleon Dynamite.
The movie is hard to explain to those who haven't seen it. The storyline is not interesting. It's simply about a high school geek. He makes a friend (Pedro), gets to know a girl (Deb), and argues with his brother (Kip). There's not much of a plot really, at least not a plot closely connected to the humor.
Very few movies make me laugh a ton. This one did. Great line delivery. Very fresh humor. One of my favorite comedies of all time. It'll be interesting to see if Jon Heder can be funny in other films.
