“Napoleon Dynamite” has got to be one of the dumbest, silliest, yet funniest movies ever. It’s not exciting, action-packed or filled with crazy stunts, but picturing Napoleon’s half-closed eyes or hearing Kip’s lisp in my head cracks me up. Tater tots, whole milk and chapstick are boring, everyday objects, but stick them into a Napoleon scene, and you’ve made those items popular again. Freakin’ genius.

Although we own the DVD, Matt and I couldn’t pass up the chance to watch ”Napoleon Dynamite” on a big outdoor screen with the Chings–also big Napoleon fans. The movie was part of an outdoor event which included live music, booths with free goodies (buttered popcorn!), gay bingo (not sure what that is or how it differs from regular bingo…???) and a movie. Since it’s considered a family movie, you see people of all ages and walks of life there. In front of me were a couple of young gals, behind us were some couples, and next to me were a grandma and her granddaughter. 

As a lasting reminder, we took some pics. Check us out here (we have two pics: 194 & 195), or if that doesn’t work, try this link, click on “Napoleon Dynamite” and go to pictures 194 & 195.
