Napoleon Dynamite

(Note: This review refers to the Blu-ray version of the DVD.)

Napoleon (Jon Heder) is the quintessential high school misfit in Jared Hess' eccentric comedy. Imagine a John Hughes teen comedy remade by Jim Jarmusch and dropped in the town that time forgot. With a fantasy inner life and an outsized weirdo vibe in his day-to-day routine, Napoleon is constantly pantsed, wedgied and body-checked in the halls by the bullies and butt-heads of his school, but Hess makes Napoleon a special kind of hero who is at home in his eccentricities. In the words of Napoleon himself, this defiant blast of idiosyncratic individuality is "sweeeet!" The Blu-ray debut of this modern cult classic features the same supplements as the previous DVD release: commentary by director/co-writer Hess with actor Heder and producer Jeremy Coon, five deleted scenes, and the featurette "The Making of the Wedding of the Century."
