He wasn't acting like a jerk, he was complimenting her, just in an awkward way.
Yeah, it’s not even backhanded, just awkward. He took the scenic route to saying “You look good, and don’t really need to watch your diet.”
Yes, he was trying to tell her she looked good and didn't need to drink fat free milk if she didn't want to. He's just awkward and not good with words.
This is honestly one of my favorite comedies ever. It was filmed in just 29 days in a small town deep in rural Idaho on a tiny budget and edited by the director on his own home computer. A bunch of secondary and side characters like the farmers that Napoleon works for aren't played by actors, they're literally just the local townsfolk that filmmakers asked if they wanted a part. This movie perfectly captures an authentic slice of rural small-town America around the turn of the millenium. Here in the US, you will still very occasionally see a "Vote for Pedro" t-shirt out in the wild. The whole movie is just so out of pocket but so honest at the same time, I love it to pieces haha!
The cheap keyboard music throughout makes me laugh uncontrollably 😅 Top 10 comedy for me just behind Dracula Dead and Loving it and ahead of Roadtrip
100% it's such a brilliant small town cult film. It's so dumb but also so genius at the same time...and that really is a hard thing to get right.
"I caught you a delicious bass." As far as pickup lines go, that is definitely one of the most pickup-est lines out there 😄
I think Napoleon Dynamite is the definition of a modern-day cult classic. Vote for Pedro
Not sure what happened to my shirt! Dammit! I’m a freakin idiot!
@@seanstinchfield-mp2xm you’re a freaking idiot, in Napoleon’s voice 😂
This movie actually makes a lot of sense for those who grew up in the Midwest during the early 2000's. It's an anachronistic place where decades can run together and has a culture all its own that revolves around farming. Some of the most realistic parts of the movie for me are the crazy schemes to have fun or to make money, the farmers hiring every teen they can find to move chickens twice a year, the FFA contests, the very few "cool kids" at school outnumbered by scores of farm kids, awkward misfits and newcomers, the thrift store, and cheering for the underdog.
it’s still like that from what I’ve heard
The phone and the internet used to charge per minute to connect. He isn't paying for a girlfriend.
13:40 I was going to say the same thing. I barely remember dial up, but to anyone under 30 this is like an alien concept lol
A long distance call ( across states ) could get expensive quickly. Even a call 10 miles away was an added expense.
@@treetopjones737 also the idea that you just had to hope you could find your friends. If you called and they weren’t home and you left the house nobody had any way to get a hold of each other unless you bumped into them
Yeah with cell phones, and packages of lots or unlimited minutes for a set price, people nowadays don't get the concept of long distance calls. What you had to pay more to call another state? And when you did, you waited for a certain time when the price was lower. And yeah I remember the time when you have to limit how much time you spent on the internet for financial reasons. I remember having so many minutes "free" (because you still had to pay for internet service) before you wracked up additional charges per minute.
@@Logan_Baron not to mention the fact if anyone was online the phone was “busy”. And if someone picked up the phone you could get disconnected.
It took me a while to figure out why I enjoyed this movie so much, and I finally realized it's because the character of Napoleon Dynamite is probably the most dichotomous character I've ever seen. He's simultaneously what none of us want to be, i.e., socially awkward, but also who we all really want to be, genuine, honest, loyal, indefatigable. I love that the character of Deb recognizes this--she gets it. My favorite scene is the end when Napoleon asks Deb if she wants to "play him" in tetherball, and she does, and she essentially lets him win, and Napoleon and Deb high five each other. That, my friend, is a power couple that will be able to overcome every challenge life throws at them.
Pedro offers you his protection.
The president of Spain is Pedro Sanchez!
@@seanstinchfield-mp2xm that's glorious!
One of the funniest things about the production of this indie movie is that a *significant* portion of the total production budget was spent JUST on the rights to use Cyndi Lauper's song "Time After Time" and the main title theme for The A-Team series from the '80s 😄
Meanwhile, "Music for a Found Harmonium" was probably near royalty-free, and a bajillion times better.
Kip knew Napoleon was about to fry his marbles😂😂 He had already watched unlce Rico use it on himself and thats why hes smiling at Napoleons pain.
"Your mom goes to college" is something I've quoted so so much😂
This movie is so popular because we all know those weird kids in school and it's nice to see a story that focuses on them and it has a happy ending for them. It's also extremely funny if you like awkward comedy.
You used to see merchandise for this movie everywhere in the US. Pins saying "vote for pedro" were very popular. I used to have one on my backpack.
That last dance was almost all unrehearsed! They edited a couple takes together of him just vibing in front of a crowd 🤣
"Tina you fat lard come and get some dinner!"
That line delivery never fails to make me laugh
"...Eat the FOOD!"
As he flings scoops of food at Tina....🤣
I grew up in southern Idaho and have been to Preston. This is an accurate depiction of this low-key quirky farm town. 😂😂😂😂
This really is a masterpiece. It gets better the more times you watch it. The themes are very subtle but when you get them, very profound.
27:02 Their reaction to "Slim Kip" 😂
"Your Mom goes to college..." The lamest most hilarious burn in history! Honestly, I don't know why, my favorite part is when Kip tries do demonstrate the strength of the bowl with the van, and it just explodes and drives off in defeat. I die every time 😂
That was actually not supposed to happen. He was not supposed to back up, he was supposed to drive forward and the bowl was meant to launch backwards. I went to the reunion and live viewing of the movie in Kalamazoo, MI. Got to meet Jon Heder, Jon Gries and Efren Ramirez and take two pictures with them. They were all a delight to meet and Jon Heder even cracked some jokes to us. Efren was the exact opposite of Petro irl. He was an energetic, kind hearted, and lovable personality. Hearing about all of the scenes that were either unscripted or filmed by coincidence or even without the actor knowing was a once in a lifetime experience. Much love to the Dynamite Fanbase. Yall are amazing!!
VOTE FOR PETRO 🇲🇽🏎️🐅🦁
@@Phelddagrif1998 Now it's even better!
the disappointed look on the wife's face when her husband couldn't break it. lol
@@Phelddagrif1998Petro? Pedro… (:
John Heder improvised all of those dance moves in that scene. It is actually insane how well he can dance badly but in rythym at the same time 😂
Jon* but it’s not that hard
When I think of American Cinema, this is in the top 10 of all time with Nacho Libre. You either understand them or you don’t.
This is a piece of magic!
I did enjoy Nacho Libre, but I've only watched it a couple times and felt like it was a bit derivative and just tried to capitalize on the excessive campiness of Napoleon.
what about Gentlemen Broncos?
16:03 My dad used to do door to door sales in the 70's, one day they had to sell some crystal tempered refractaries, but they weren having any luck, so the company send the sales manager, to show them how to sell those things. He just took one, went to the first house and nocked the door. Some housewife went out and he began "good morning ma'am, we are selling this limited edition of our new product blah blah blah... and it comes with life warranty for durability" then proceed to smash the refractarie into the concrete. The thing just broke and the housewife just went inside her house. Sales manager went back to the truck and said "pick up all that garbage and get the f*ck out of here!"
Just showed my 14 year old brother this movie. After the Rex Kwon Do scene, he was totally on board. Before that, he was a bit confused. It’s really nothing like any other movie ever made. I assume that he just didn’t know that movies like that could exist, kind of like I did when I first saw it. By the end he was laughing harder than me. Too bad there’s no more like it. I thought it would revolutionize film making. It was influential, but didn’t change anything. Great reaction.
It's like a slice of life but in movie form
@@ggstatertots Yeah. Sure, it ends with a bit of a romantic view of everything. The cheers at the end and Pedro winning because of the dance were nice, but highly unrealistic. Everything else was a constant flashback to the tension and feelings of being out of control of your own life during young adulthood. Don is my favorite character. So funny.
You'll be happy to know that there was actually a limited-run animated spinoff series some years ago that features the whole original cast and picks up where the movie left off! It's not quite the same feel as the movie, but still quite funny in my opinion.
and they also made Gentlemen Broncos which is even more awkward and there’s also Nacho Libre which kinda counts too
I want to say in advance that I am not a fan of classic comedies. However, "Napoleon Dynamite" is an original, meditative movie that needs to be felt. Here, as with any creative bold decisions, either you accept the given framework of a fictional, grotesque world and move on shoulder to shoulder with lively, expressive characters, monitor their progress, or you immediately perceive with hostility something unusual, sometimes unsightly, but in a way beautiful. However, I was frankly delighted with the unique atmosphere, it's not at all like "dumb even dumber", "American pie", "eurotour" and so on, it's a completely different experience. According to the emotions received during viewing, it rather resembles "parasites", this something is absolutely discouraging and leaves no one indifferent. If the first 20 minutes seemed like torture, it will be completely pointless for you to look further, it is pointless, as to explain the joke, the moment has already been lost. By the way, people write that the movie is stupid, here again the problem is only in perception, if you think that all superhero movies are exclusively for children, and rap is not music, then Napoleon Dynamite is not your movie. Success in the holy struggle for stereotypes and the attractive Middle Ages. In fact, this is a bold picture with a unique, consciously hypertrophied manner of narration, in which all the same important and touching problems and questions of existence are raised. For example, feelings about the missed opportunities of the past days, which cannot be returned, are shown very vividly and quite clearly. Eternally nostalgic for school and sports achievements, the hero evokes compassion, but looks pathetic and stupid, which clearly suggests the need to resist circumstances, to change landmarks and stoicism. At the same time, through a home geek, they show us that sometimes miracles happen in life, the main thing is not to miss the moment, believe in yourself and do at least something to achieve the goal. The main character, in turn, demonstrates the possibility of a special path and makes it clear that even a white crow can be bright and earn respect, even a white crow is able to find friends and meet his love. Take action! The film is unique in its kind and definitely will not leave anyone indifferent, which in the era of sequels, triquels and typical, glossy remakes is valuable in itself. The characters are lively, the dialogues are catchy, the unique atmosphere of extravagant, touching miracles is perfectly conveyed, what else is needed?🌝
Thanks for the reaction🦊🔮🦊
"what else is needed?" a big WTF? N.D. was a fun comedy. Do not trash one film to try to make another shine. you are totally the "Scotty" in Scotty doesn't know and the "Pie" in American Pie.
16:10 they took 3 takes of that breaking and it didnt and then the last one he reacted in character and they kept it, that shit is surprisingly durable
That’s great news, too, because I rarely ever back my car over my plastic containers more than twice. It doesn’t even weigh as much as that camper van would, so they could probably withstand like four times.
After 20 years, I still have no idea how to describe this movie.
midwest high school documentary scripted movie
He did a hillarious movie with Will Farrell about professional ice skaters and another with Billy Bob Thornton!
hilarious* and Ferrell* Farrell is Colin Farrell lol
Thank you Two for watching this Movie ! Reminds me so much of my personal up-bringing, over here in "No-Where" Midwest America ❤ Slice of Life
The ending where he rides the horse to the tinkyiest version of The Man from Snowy River theme remade gets me everytime
The first time I watched Napoleon Dynamite I thought it was the stupidest thing in the world. I watched it again recently and thought it was brilliant and hilarious. So my advice to people who don't "get it" is to give it twenty years or so, it definitely grows on you.
The actor playing Napoleon Dynamite, John Heder, is also in Benchwarmers, Blades of Glory and Tremors: Shrieker Island. Uncle Rico is played by Jon Gries, who's also in the Taken trilogy and Supernatural. The lead cheerleader is played by Hailey Duff, older sister of former Disney star Hilary Duff
Gries is also in the TV series the pretender.
Jon, both of them, and also Shelter Skelter, the 80s Twilight Zone episode
"He made her a cake". No, he built her one. "Uncle Rico" is also in another very funny movie from the 80s: Real Genious.
"Uncle Rico" also had a small part in another movie that Magy and Laura have seen ... "Taken". He was one of Liam Neeson's security buddies.
@@robhoskins8871 he’s been acting since he was a kid (his dad was one too), I mostly know him for this and an episode of The Twilight Zone from the 80s
holey crap! he was in real genius!?!?😮
Napoleon looks fresh and so clean too not to shabby! 18:53
Yeah, our dude cleans up nice. A little snazzing up can work wonders.
In anime terms, this movie would be a slice-of-life comedy. There's no major storyline, just one amazing scene where Napoleon triumphs on stage, kind of offsetting all the hilariously bad things that happened so far. I remember watching this when it came out and being completely perplexed until that scene and then it suddenly all made sense.
Laura's horrified and confused face through out the movie was adorable and funny 😂. Great reaction girls.
One of the goofiest movies out there but it's endearing at the same time, how quirky the characters are, their "development" along the movie, the interactions between them.
Thank you for this unexpected, funny reaction ❤
OOO is that a new(ish?) backwall? It looks really cool and makes you guys pop on camera! also yeah...this movie is special in a sense. It's VERY dry and a lot of the jokes are just the tone. As long as you had a little fun none of that matters.
This is a love letter to the fly over States in the 80s and 90s. My earliest memories are of this world. It was absolutely real (dialed up a bit for comedy) but still, I feel seen.
John Heder RULES in this film. There's so much in this film for everyone but especially people like me who were in high school in the 80s. Granted, some scenes are slow and some are straight out of left field but altogether they form a real atmosphere of what life was like living in a nowhere town with nothing going on. The weirdness of many of the characters lessens the more time we spend with them just like real life
Jon* but yah
First few times I saw this I had no idea about the end credits scene. And I can't get over how LaFaunda is the one steering the horse with Kip holding on in back🤣
magy around 23 min when they are putting up posters for vote for pedro, they are playing the intro song from the action tv show, the A Team, it was on nbc in the 1980s about a group of guys that helped people when things got bad, i also liked the tv show, Knight Rider , about a guy who had a talking car that could do all these cool things, and also, A.L.F. about an alien that crashed into a family's house.. and the Misfits of Science, , where a scientist gathers a group of mutants to fight crime and investigate strange phenomena, it was like a mix of back to the future and the Xmen
I remember when Magy first brought Laura in and she was so shy. Now her facial expressions are so animated she doesn't even need to tell us what she's thinking. 😉
Napoleon is the extreme Forest Gump. He didn’t experience what Forest did but he is his best friend to Pedro
"Tina you fat lard, come get some dinner!" is still a phrase my friend and I use on each other.
A pizza place in Rexburg, ID had on their marquee for a while: Rexburg, you fat lard, come get some dinner. -lol
This movie captures the extreme awkwardness of high school that we've all felt to some degree when growing up. That's why this movie was so popular for teens when it came out. It's weird, silly, and quotable.
Growing up in the midwest in the late 90s/early 00's, this movie is crazy nostalgic
13:19 - In the late 90's to early 2000's, in the States... internet companies would charge by the minute every time you used the internet. On top of that, unless you had a second phone line, any time your house line got an incoming phone call, you'd lose your internet. It also took about a minute or two to boot up, but damn, was it the LOUDEST thing in the entire house when it was connecting. Wild times, indeed.
90s* 2000s* but I think everywhere was like that or at least Canada was too
i understand the movie from a cultural perspective because i grew up in that environment, that era. the high school reminds me of my high school experiences in the 1980s. time moved slower back then, hard to explain how different the world was pre-internet. it was normal for me to spend an entire weekend with a good book, colouring the pages with my imagination. there was no outside world, outside of a few basic television stations. school was a million miles away on weekends, students a billion. we loved Saturday morning cartoons and classic movies on Sunday afternoon. maybe were we were the last generation from the old world, kids known as Generation X. our grandfathers fought in World War II, our great-grandfathers in World War I. [insert a million words about North American culture, and how it has been lost] that said, the movie is timeless, resonates through the decades. and it's one of my faves ...
Not everyone gets how hilarious the double exposure pictures of Kip and Napoleon on the wall are. lol
that era, so the early 00s like a lot of us who still like the movie? but indeed
Magy's funniest line - 31:12 - "Some weird moves but...nice". That made me laugh so much! Great reaction girls! Keep smiling🙂👍
If you ever react to WATERWORLD with Kevin Costner, you will see Deb (Tina Majorino) again.
She will look quite different because in WATERWORLD, she’s only nine years old.
and Uncle Rico was in the Shelter Skelter episode of The Twilight Zone from the mid 80s
The actors who play Napoleon and Pedro come out as a duo in another movie called "When in Rome." It is a funny movie too!
Pretty cool you guys uploaded a cool movie on the same day as my birthday
"The Napoleon Dynamite Problem" has been used to describe the phenomenon where "quirky" films such as Napoleon Dynamite, Lost in Translation (2003) and I Heart Huckabees (2004) prove difficult for researchers to create algorithms that are able to predict whether or not a particular viewer will like the film based on their ratings of previously viewed films.
😘 Hello, lovely ladies.
I recently came across your reactions to the movie Titanic by accident. And I really liked your emotions, Laura's tears just made me squeeze.
I could see that you liked Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio's acting. So I want to suggest you both to watch another movie with these actors, namely “Revolutionary Road” 2008.
Quite an interesting, emotional movie.
Please put likes so that MagicMary will see this post🙂
Awesome that you guys watched this. A few weeks ago I actually got to hang out with Efren Ramirez (Pedro) - really down to Earth and cool guy.
My favorite scene is when Uncle Rico takes Kips steak and chucks it at Napoleons face
This movie was filmed around 50 miles from where I live right now.
Kipp wasn't paying for a girlfriend. When the internet was still new, you had to use a phone line to connect, and at that time, you had to pay for every minute you were using that phone line.
I swear the early 2000s got the most hilarious movies.
If you guys react to Dodgeball: a true underdog story, I swear y’all will be on the floor weak asf 😂😂😂😂.
Napoleon's dance became the Blood Elf dance in World of Warcraft!
Specifically, the male Blood Elf dance. But, as the joke goes, who can really tell the difference?
I'm glad that you ended up with a movie outside of your comfort zones. It was very entertaining.
He wasn't paying for his GF back in the day you had to pay for the internet or get these CDs with it on it
They were on dial-up. You usually paid for the time you were online. This movie takes place in the early 2000's.
You both are looking more and more beautiful every time I see one of your videos. Love the smiles 😂
When I first watched this movie I was soooo sure Kip was getting "Catfished".
Hahaha, I liked Laura's "Napoleon Dynamite" persona - the deadpan personality! Magy wasn't getting with it though!
You two are so comical. 🖤
This movie is a classic. Its meant to be that way of a movie.
30:30 If you guys never noticed, Not ONCE did he repeat a move 🔥
OMG this song is literally everywhere (Pedro Perdo) 😂
Girls, pay attention to Napoleon’s dance near the end of this movie.
If you ever react to LONE SURVIVOR, you will see this dance or a portion of it again.
21:44 Magy 😂
"NOTHIN ON ERE WORKS SMOOOTH"
shoots cow
rip Farmer Lyle.
When the comments section is everyone explaining things you didn't understand that's my signal to skip that particular video. I'm sure if I found a movie from your culture that referenced specific eras and experiences unique to that time and place I would be just as lost and it would be just as unentertaining to watch me stumble through misunderstanding most of it.
that was a good reaction, but you forget the last scene with the song "the promise". it finishes everything off in a beautiful way....
This came out before I went to HighSchool, but it helped me with finding a creative side of myself. Yeah...😢🎉
lI went to the reunion and live viewing of the movie in Kalamazoo, MI. Got to meet Jon Heder, Jon Gries and Efren Ramirez and take two pictures with them.

Its wierd because its so real on what actually happens in real life.
Still.one of my favorite movies and the dance scene.
It gets funnier every rewatch. (that goes for english speakers) I have no idea how the movie works with second language viewers.
It's odd. I don't know how this movie is quantified at all...........but I absolutely love it.
Everyone is thrown off on the first viewing.
😍😍 One of my favorite movies, my favorite reaction to it I've seen! :)
A lot of people didn’t understand or get this movie, then there’s the rest of us❤️👍
I still laugh when I see this movie. I'm very hard to please but I give props to Napoleon Dynamite 'cause it is one of few movies I appreciate. And getting to watch two of my favorite young ladies in the world react to it has made my day for sure!
Thank you, Maggie, and Laura. Blessings to you both. Hello from south-eastern Kentucky.
Please reaction "interstellar" Thank you, ❤ 🌹
Give this a like so this has a better chance of being seen. Interstellar is my #1 favorite movie
If i may suggest, movies along this line: drop dead gorgeous, waynes world, roxanne, deuce biggalow european giggalow, the birdcage. Cult classics you may enjoy.
2:40 - That's what she said. 😏
26:52 - Same thing.
This is one of those things that you just had to be there when it hit the scene back in the day.
There's at least one least one Napoleon in every school I bet!
I remember, their budget for this movie was like $40,000 and for some reason, it was a hit in the theaters that it made millions.
You two should watch Eurotrip or She’s out of my league.
or Gentlemen Broncos
You should check out "the fist foot way" or "gentleman broncos" they have a similar vibe and are really funny
Jody Hill movies are nothing like Napoleon Dynamite lol
@@winstonmarlowe5254 movies that use awkwardness as comedy
@@winstonmarlowe5254Gentlemen Broncos is made by the same bros lol
@@Cassxowary Clearly I was referring to The Foot Fist Way...
This movie is oddly satisfying and for some reason you want to turn it off but you just have to keep watching it 🤣
Sweet reaction! Never underestimate Kip’s pimpness. Peace out.
Uhhh yeah Rico is verrrrry creepy. He's talking to teenage girls about their breast size. That's very very very creepy.
"Heeay guys!"
this movie will always be amazing
I want those moon boots!!
amazon
12:52 it was not nice. Was it very mean? No, but usually if you are trying to be nice you would say something like "Sorry, but I am not interested". Saying "No" with a bunch of exclamtion marks (!!!) gives the impression that you are excited to say no to the person. Which in this case, I think is true. She is not a bully, but she enjoys flaunting her status and belittling ppl.
not excited to say no, just more empthatically saying it but yah
Yeah, that was nice. But Napoleon complementing Deb in his awkward way was him being a jerk. 🙄
One of the most awkward and funny movies. 😂
You guys have to watch Blades Of Glory after this. It also stars Jon Heder and Will Ferrell
or Gentlemen Broncos, by the Hess brothers too
Magic Magy Truly Such A Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
I spent the whole video being annoyed that there isn't a question mark or comma in the tattoo "If not now, then when?" on her forearm.
Another quirky comedy you might enjoy is Harold and Maude (1971)
i voted for pedro ecause i'm latino; not brown but i was born with a mustache, tiss
