USCCB Review:
"Napoleon Dynamite" (Fox Searchlight), an offbeat, low-budget comedy set in rural Idaho, details the high school misadventures of an oddball, wooly-haired misfit (Jon Heder) who lives with his slacker older brother (Aaron Ruell) and cheesy uncle (Jon Gries). In first-time director Jared Hess' quirky film, the title character befriends a shy Mexican student (Efren Ramirez) running for class president against the school's reigning queen bee (Haylie Duff). Although the film is light on plot, Heder's deadpan performance makes this tender ode to eccentricity curiously amusing, if not wholly satisfying. Due to some comic violence and a few instances of mildly crude language and sexual humor, the USCCB Office for Film & Broadcasting classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG -- parental guidance suggested.
Finally, its ok to be weird!! Join us as we watch Napoleon discover true friendship and use his 'skills' to stand up for his friends. We'll have food and fun, movie trivia and more. After the movie we'll talk about the themes of being an outcast, loyalty, friendship and family. If you've ever drawn a 'liger', wanted to take your bike off some 'sweet jumps' or had a bad day at school--this movie is for you!
