Film Threat - Eric Campos
The cast playing these eccentric characters is magnificent...This is definitely one of the most unique comedies you’ll see all year.

Village Voice - Michael Atkinson
Thrusts us into a high school senior year like no other.
75
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Hess and his terrific cast -- Heder is geek perfection -- make their own kind of deadpan hilarity. You'll laugh till it hurts. Sweet.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
There's plenty of humor in the film, but the movie is often a little uncomfortable to watch, and Napoleon is not an easy guy to like. Rooting for him takes effort.
70
Variety - Todd McCarthy
An absurdist piece about a rural community of clueless cretins who careen through life like poorly played pinballs, Napoleon Dynamite represents the definition of the comedy of condescension and ridicule.
