    I adore this movie for many reasons - the biggest one being because it actually allows the weirdo/awkward/nerdy characters to be GENUINELY weirdo/awkward/nerdy, as opposed to most mainstream high school movies where the "weirdos" are just hot, clever, charismatic 20-somethings who clearly would be VERY popular in real-life.
    This movie's genius is that it lets you see exactly why Napoleon and his comrades are all outcasts - and then finds ways to make you like them and root for them anyway.

      Its not just the genuine characters either, if you take all the vignette moments individually and look at them singly by themselves, they are the kind of things you'd see in real life, those weird little odd moments that are just 'strange', its just weird in the movie when strung together so closely together...
      Alot of my friends at school in the 90's were Napoleons and Pedros as such Ive seen some weird stuff, been in some weird stuff, hell ive BEEN the weird stuff, yet at the time you dont even notice it as weird. Unlike me though, Napoleon doesnt care its weird... and for that he's a far better and confident person/friend than I would ever be/was.
      Everyone's weird, life is just weird in general... this movie condenses it and celebrates it.

    There's a ton of little character bits snuck into this movie that I'm still finding years later.
    Napoleon is drinking store-brand flavor-aid in an old Gatorade bottle.
    Kip is using a block of government cheese for his nachos.
    Pedro and his family are transplants by the Mormon church to fill-out the population of the local community, which is why they so-suddenly show up.
    Napoleon lives in Idaho which is why his tots are so sought-after.
    Napoleon is actually training to be a farmer while his brother is leaving the town forever.
    "La-Fawnduh" is probably the actual spelling of her name considering he met her in a chat room and that makes it all the funnier.
    Napoleon notices a Sai in the thrift store and this film was set in the early 90's during the Ninja Turtle craze. Also, note Napoleon taking karate lessons like many kids did due to the turtles.
    Loch Ness was a popular subject of movies from the early 90's as well.
    Overall the film is an absolute treasure-trove of little details from the early 90's that we may not see in future movies.

    Jon Gries, who plays Uncle Rico, was actually a vegetarian. While shooting the scenes of him eating steak, he would have to spit it out after doing each take.
    And also, in the scene at 14:34 where he chucks the steak at Napoleon while riding his bike and it hits him in the face. That was actually Jon Gries who threw the steak off-camera. On the final take (The one you see in the movie), Gries threw the steak too excessively at Jon Heder (Napoleon) that it left a bruise on Heder's face afterwards.

    So (and sorry for the double comment), but at my college we had an end of year show that included a “pimp strut.” And me, my friend and her gf did an ironic “pimp strut” as Napoleon, Pedro and Deb. I was Deb, complete with side ponytail and fanny pack, and we learned the entire Napoleon Dynamite dance which we did in front of the whole college. It was, to this day, one of THE most awesome performances I’ve ever been a part of. My only regret is that we didn’t have a Kip to complete the vibe.

    When that old farmer was pointing and mumbling he actually said “Over there at by that creek bed I found some Shashonie arrowheads.” I grew up in rural Kentucky and often spent time with some old timers with no teeth and super heavy and thick accents so it was terribly hard for me to decipher.

    My favorite part of this movie is the opening credits with the food and the names written in ketchup and mustard and stuff. It’s a great way to make the best out of a shoestring budget. I read that the budget for this movie was $400,000 in early 2000’s money. That’s impressive.
    Some of the best films ever made were shot on a shoestring budget, like Monty Python and the Holy Grail. That movie was shot on a budget of £200,000, in 1974.

    Deadass, in my small Alabama town, a church told my sister to burn anything to do with the movie because of the whole "Gosh" thing. I think they just hated it because they didn't want to be reminded just how cringe small-town life can be. That and it probably disgusted these people that the awkward people in life were actually being rewarded for a change.
