‘Napoleon Dynamite’ was released in 2004, and remains a favorite film for many people. The movie starred Efren Ramirez (Pedro), Haylie Duff (Summer), Tina Majorino (Deb), Aaron Ruell (Kip), Jon Gries (Uncle Rico), and Jon Heder as Napoleon Dynamite. ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ was nominated for 22 awards, and won ten of them.
The film is based on an outsider boy, Napoleon, who befriends the new kid, Pedro, and together they decide Pedro is going to run for class president. There are a bunch of hilarious moments as the best friend duo has their struggles and heartwarming best friend moments. The film not only features a high school election but also Napoleon’s famous dancing, and even the wedding of his brother, Kip, and the woman he had met online, Lafawnduh.
People from all over the world keep travelling to Idaho to tour the settings from the movie, such as Pedro’s house, and Preston High School. The small town used to hold a Napoleon Dynamite Festival, but the last festival that was done was in 2008. Another fun fact about the movie is that Jon Heder got a perm the night before shooting, but his curls ended up looking like Shirley Temple’s so they fixed it by redoing the perm but he wasn’t allowed to wash his hair for three weeks.
