#react #reaction #napoleondynamite
I'm just now starting this reaction, but had to first say: oh man, I cannot wait to see Mary's utter bewilderment at this movie.
Same. Haven't started yet, but definitely excited to see how she reacts to this quirky movie.
Me too !
You said it!
A lot of the situations were based on things that happened in the directors family growing up. His mom was embarrassed when she first saw it, but it's still a classic because it's so real
Mary, please, please watch A FISH CALLED WANDA. Starring John Cleese and Michael Palin (from Monty Python) and Jamie Lee Curtis.
An absurdly great diamond heist adventure!
Followed by the pseudo sequel Fierce Creatures.
I have yet to see that one. 😕
I love this movie. I think it’s hilarious. Stupid maybe, but I don’t care.
This movie is a bit weird because it depicts the oddity of some parts of middle America where life is a bit slower and personalities can be quirky. The moment I watched this movie it reminded me of when I lived in rural Idaho where friendships were deep but activities were bland and nothing really happened there of state or national importance. It sort of took that vibe from these areas and amplified the humorous aspects of it.
It sort of pokes fun of this sensationalism where everything is supposed to be impressive, when the reality is a bit lackluster instead. And then Napolean's dance at the end sort of completely pivots this expectation the audience has on its head and he genuinely does something remarkable. It's definitely a weird comedy. You either end up loving it or hating it, with little room in between.
It's actually set in a rural Idaho town.
I’m from a tiny town in Idaho not far from Preston.
Idaho is not middle America. It’s the northwest. Right smack dab next to Oregon and Washington
Thank you, Mary! 🦙 This was quite the cultural touchstone 19 years ago. I adore this sort of quirkiness.
This movie is lightning in a bottle, I wouldn't expect another like it ever. It's a slice of Americana, a condensation of the director's childhood stories.
the closest movie to have this level absurdness would be nacho libre
@@aslinyaduaorang5337Definitely, it's insane that the director of this movie and Nacho Libre is also directing the Minecraft movie coming out
@@aslinyaduaorang5337 which was, coincidentally, directed by the same guy hahaha
@@MinkyBoodle44 ah i see, no wonder 🤣
This was a movie that resonated the most with high school kids. It's weird and quirky, but they somehow captured the awkwardness of high school, and I think kids related to that. Everyone in high school when this movie came out was saying "gosh!" or "flippin' sweet" in the Napoleon Dynamite voice.
The first time I watched this movie I thought it was just plain stupid. I watched it again a couple months later with my young daughter and we laughed out loud so many times. Now I love it.
100%. After I watched it the first time, I thought "what was that????". It wasn't until I watched it again later that I started getting the absurd humor. I really like this movie now and quote it some.
Knock it off Napoleon, make yourself a dang quesadilla!
This movie is such a weird one, because people sometimes hate this movie on first watch and then love it on second watch. I really enjoyed it a ton because at its heart, it's a weird and quirky movie about people with few redeeming qualities, but that you find yourself rooting for without fully understanding why. The ending always makes me happy and lifts my spirits, and you wish a great dance really could solve all your life's problems.
If you liked this movie and want weird movies, you should give Wes Anderson a try. I'd love to see you react to Moonrise Kingdom or Rushmore.
This movie and Nacho libre are painful to watch but then you find yourself quoting them for the rest of your life lol
fyi, "Vote for Pedro" and Napoleon's dance were memes before memes had a name.
Jon Heder, who played Napoleon, was also in the movie Blades of Glory with Will Ferrell.
The scene where Kip rolls over the bowl and says "DANG IT!!!", has to be the funniest scene in this movie LOL!! Also, the guy eating eh sandwhich talking about he arrow head, that was 100% genuine LOL!! There are some TH-cam videos of him from after the movie came out
part of the indie awkward teen wave of movies
This movie just is in its own category
One of my favorites of all time and I don’t know why. It’s just so awkward and funny 😂
"Your mom goes to college." That is my favorite line from the movie.😂
muscleman type of comment lol
One of my favourite offbeat comedies. No idea why. I can happily sit down and watch it every time I see it pop up on TV.
This movie was like a cultural phenomenon when it came out. The comedy is so understated and intentionally awkward. At the same time, there's so many hallmarks of just being a dumb kid growing up in a small town in this film that take me back to middle and high school. It's good to see that no matter the country, some things are constant in teenagers. And yes, the midwest of the United States is full of very wide-open areas where lots of the space is taken by farmland, pastures, etc. It's quite beautiful honestly.
the movie is a slice of life in small town, rural americana (there are small towns...then there are small towns in truly rural areas. there's definitely a difference). the low energy is to show the awkwardness of teens and to show how much slower and more mundane rural america is.
The scene where Uncle Rico throws the steak at Napoleon on the bike-priceless! The time machine, also. Napoleon enduring the shock. LOL. Loved your reaction!
This is a very quirky movie and it's very American. I'm not sure if it's suited for you. Statisticians actually have used this movie to coin a term; "The Napoleon Dynamite effect". It's because algorithms can't predict whose going to like this film. I really like it as it reminds me so much of my high school years even though they happened in the 70s. See... the Napoleon Dynamite Effect. This movie is about geeks and not only was I one all my friends were also geeks. If you want another movie from the geek chic genre try "Gentlemen Broncos."
The director, Jared Hess, followed this movie up with another funny, quirky comedy with Jack Black called “Nacho Libre”. That would be a good one for you to react to. Another comedy which stars Jon Heder, the actor who plays Napoleon Dynamite, is “Blades of Glory,” which about two male figure skaters who team up to compete in the Olympics. That would also be a good one to react to.
I remember Nacho Libre being enjoyable, but I also remember quickly feeling like it was a movie I'd probably never see again.
Also don't forget Gentleman Bronco... which wasnt to bad either.
This was such a hilarious movie. But in a really low-key way.
"I get diarrhea from whole" is the most hilarious/relatable thing I've ever heard Mary say.
16:46 One of the rare instances that subtitles really actually ruin the gag. You were supposed to struggle understanding wtf he was saying, and rewind it over and over and debate with your friends what it was (like the rest of us). The subtitles robbed you the full experience. 😂
This is AMERICANA era late 80s early 90s nostalgia.....movie made in 2000s😊
As a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, I watch for characters that are autistic. This movie usually tops lists of movies with autistic characters. I've seen this described as "an entire movie that's autistic".
As one on the spectrum myself, I identified with Napoleon right away. I was him back in school during the 80s - times ten!
I saw a comment on another reaction about why the town in this movie seems out of time. It's a phenomenon (can't think of the term) that happens in small rural towns. Where the fashion and other pop culture things are 10 to 20 years behind the rest of the country, specifically in the US, I believe that they exist all over the first world nations, though. The awkward vibes and the phenomenon I mention really make for unique film that, I feel, stood the test of time.
I grew up in and around Baltimore Maryland the last 50 years of the last century. We had the same phenomenon even in and around a major city.
Just over the city line was Brooklyn, which was 20 years behind the times, taking it from 1970 to 1950. Just beyond that was the suburbs of Glen Burnie, which was only 10 years behind, bringing it to the 1960s. I recall telling someone that very thing, back in the 1970s.
Northeast of Baltimore was the same thing playing out, with Essex being in the 1950s and Dundalk being in the 1960s.
So it's not just the small towns; it can happen with large cities, too.
I grew up Mormon in Portland, Oregon. Because of that, family and other stuff took us to Idaho and Utah on a fairly regular basis. Lots of Mormons have family in those states. This movie did a good job of showing what it was like. Every time I went it felt like going 20 years into the past. When this movie was made in early 2000s it still felt like the 1980s in Idaho. 😂
They're actually called tater tots. Potato -> potater -> tater. Tater Tots is actually a registered trademark for a specific brand, although it was so popular it has become a generic term like Kleenex for tissues. I doubt the school used the brand name deep fried potato cylinders. Probably some cheap off-brand instead.
Gentlemen Broncos is a movie with a similar vibe. Worthy of a look imo
Before even watching this let me say, this is one of my all time favorite offbeat comedies of all time. Uncle Rico, what can I say? Makes the movie for me.
Grew up with a kid whose brother was just like Napoleon. Had the same speech pattern, mannerisms, and everything. He even had the winter boots. I think they were called “moon boots” in the 80’s.
Kip actually having a hot internet girlfriend is a pretty funny gag.
I love the contrast with Napoleon pretending to have a girlfriend. I mean, uh, she’s real. She’s just in Oklahoma. Yeah, that’s it.
@@0okamino she’s just really busy with her new modeling career.
@@DestroySteve He had a picture to prove it. 😄
Mary much of the US is sparsely populated. I'm in North Eastern Minnesota and once you get into farm lands it is a house/farm every so often. Main county highways have more houses but once you are off them into less traveled areas the number of people really goes down.
7:32 Tater tots and kroketten are different. Kroketten exists in America too, but we call it croquettes. Tater tots are made from potato (hence, "tater", as in "po-taters"). Tater tots are just hash browns in nugget form. And @9:55, those aren't fried calamari, those are fried onion rings. Onion rings are sold at every burger place. Calamari wouldn't be sold at burger joints and are harder to find.
Some of the biggest burger chains do not have onion rings.
@@treetopjones737 I wasn't talking about the chains like McDonald's. I meant like individual burger stands like the one in the movie.
@@theflyingfisherman7829That raises the question of why more burger chains don't offer onion rings.
Potato croquettes exist and are being served a lot in German speaking countries. Hash browns we would call rösti.
The actor who played Uncle Rico is in a lot of stuff, including Real Genius(1985) and Taken I, II, & III. The actor who played Pedro is in the Crank movies with Jason Statham.
For me, this film is almost a documentary. For the director, it’s almost an autobiography. Elements taken from the director’s real life include the film’s title, being the only boy in a sign language class, homemade dress with puffy sleeves, etc. His relatives, teachers and neighbors populate the film’s cast.
Agreed.
DVD commentary he said the farmer DID mix raw egg with orange juice ( real life ). 🤮
@@treetopjones737 Nothing wrong with it. Fresh eggs that haven't been washed are completely sterile. It's only store-bought eggs that have had their protective coatings washed off and then sat in a box for a month or longer before the grocery store sells them to you are potentially dangerous.
@@fakecubed For stores they are refrigerated.
That may be but eating a raw egg is still 🤮Same with mayo.
@@treetopjones737 they are refrigerated because they aren’t shelf stable. A fresh, unwashed egg is shelf stable for months. Some basic preservation methods and they will be shelf stable for years, never refrigerated, although they get a bit dried out and may not be too appealing after two years. It’s only human intervention by government-mandated commercial egg production methods that cause eggs to be full of harmful bacteria that requires cooking to kill.
“Davey 🖕 this is for you”
It’s like watching Napoleon Dynamite react to Napoleon Dynamite. 😵💫
I haven’t watched yet- but am about to. If you ended up enjoying this awkward indie vibe, I suggest ‘eagle vs shark’, it’s by the same director that made JoJo Rabbit, and is an awkward love story with deadpan but silly humour like this!
I'm afraid to say that Mary does the voice pretty well. I would definitely watch Belgian Dynamite. LOL
This is such a sweet, quirky, fun little movie, i love it!
The peak portrayal of nerds in the early-2000s. Also the school is fairly large because it likely serves all grades
This was one of my favorite movies when it came out. Very original and quirky. Mary - you mentioned that you may be interested in seeing other movies of this genre. Check out Gentlemen Broncos. It's from the same director as Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre.
In my opinion, Gentlemen Broncos is even more quirky and somewhat more down to earth (so to speak)
Really leans into the alienation of being an imaginative oddball.
Idaho is roughly the size(and shape) of Great Britain and there are some parallels in its geography. Mountains in the north, a big river basin and farmland in the south. But everything turned up to 11. Its a wonder. But the entire population is just a hair more than Hamburg or Antwerp. Less than 2 million. And let me tell you, almost half of that moved to Idaho AFTER this movie came out. The emptiness would be post-apocalyptic if it wasn't for the wildlife.
tina eat your food
16:47 I don’t know the story exactly, but supposedly they were filing on this man’s land, or he’s familiar with it. His remark about the arrowheads was unscripted, albeit true, as the camera was rolling. At least that’s what I gleaned from a director’s commentary, or something of the like.
Thanks for subtitles indeed! Even as a native English speaker, I wouldn’t have had a clue as to what that guy said.
I had to give you a thumbs up for not only knowing those 80's songs, but knowing the A-Team theme. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers!
This film feels like when I was in 5th grade, 1992.
It came out when I graduated from University but it was the biggest movie with the high school kids, and that "Vote For Pedro" t-shirt was everywhere.
Critics didn't like the movie because nothing happens. Audiences enjoyed the quirky originality. It was a surprise hit.
It has 72% on Rotten Tomatoes out of 175 critic reviews lol. Critics did, indeed, like it...
@@mikeyt3784 lol, I guess I remembered only the bad reviews.
If you like quirky humor, you have to watch Wes Anderson movies. Almost all of them are quite good.
The first time I watched this movie I thought it was the worst movie. By the fifth time I watched it I thought it was the funniest movie ever! Vote for Pedro!!! 😅
Yeah i always never wanted to give it a chance and in time i knew i was being closed minded. I love a good directed film and it is shot so well that it even makes the comedy better.
I think the only movie that comes close to this in having the same vibe is Pee-wee's Big Adventure == and I think you would utterly enjoy it!!!
The other movie with the same director is 'Gentlemen Broncos' it's completely wacky even more than Napoleon Dynamite.
Not random people asked to prom in the vast majority of cases. The students know each other from going to school in the same grades/ schools through grade school (8 yrs) before they even get to high school. Mostly people just go with whoever is their girl/boy friend at the time. Enjoyed the reaction. 🙂
For good low key comedies check out the Wes Anderson universe of movies. Also the Christopher Guest universe is a must.
The actress that played Deb also starred as the little girl in Water World.
Oh by the way Mary: Napoleon's dance at the end wasn't choreographed. Jon Heder just made it up on the spot, essentially. Which makes it even more impressive, honestly.
Actually, no. The girl who plays Deb is a dancer and worked out the Choreography with Jon Heder.
@@jasonohara8372 yeah no idea why people keep telling reactors that blatant false fact.
@@nny2dope Reminds of people parroting over and over about Young Frankenstein: "Blucher means glue" - it doesn't.
@@nny2dope Probably because Jon Heder has been quoted saying it was all freestyle and he made it up on the spot at the director's behest. If the star of the movie is saying in interviews he made it up, blame him for it being perpetuated.
Blades Of Glory is a good one with Napoleon and Will Farrel.
I remember when this came out. It is the type of movie you either love or hate. I saw it in the theaters 15 times. Then afterwards when it came out on DVD, whenever I was feeling down I'd pop it on. I'd It's the most ridiculous movie but I couldn't get enough! And you can't help but smile when the dance scene at the end comes on!
Such a great film, and Dedrich Bader (Drew Carey Show, Office Space, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back) as Rex just cracks me up!
Jon Heder was also in the last Tremors film, though I almost didn't recognize him!
You forgot Tommy Hawk from Reno 911!,
CAW CAW!! 🦅
I just graduated from high school two weeks before Napoleon Dynamite came out and this movie was ALL people were talking about. If you were just in high school at the time, I'm surprised you never heard of it (maybe it didn't make a big splash in Belgium at the time). I remember trying to watch it at the time and found it annoying. I had never seen an indie movie like this yet, so it was very weird to me. This movie is the epitome of you either love it or hate it. But I'm a different person now, more open-minded. So, I gave it a watch with your full-length reaction last night and it's actually quite good. The opening credits (1:03) are very creative however the music makes it soooooo dated. It just screams that "2000s indie movie wave" vibe that was all the rage at the time (like the music in "Juno" 2007). Always thought movies from the 2000s are "too modern" to be dated, but nope, it's super dated. But the rest of the movie is quite funny and holds up very well.
But it being dated is the best part! lol Cuz there are so many other things in the movie which are super dated too, on purpose, to make it funny. Watching this reaction I just realized that this movie actually gets better the more time goes by cuz it gets even MORE dated lol Like fine wine hahaha
Gentlemen Bronco's is another weird Jared Hess movie.
@@bassmunk No, I'm not saying the movie is dated because of characters like the uncle who's stuck in the past and still dresses like he's still living in the late 1970s/early 80s. That stuff is intentional and doesn't make it dated. But the music choice in the opening credits DOES make it dated cuz so many indie movies from this period utilized that specific genre of music, which movies today don't use anymore. The music at the beginning really hits you in the face with that "hey, I'm a 2000s indie wave movie" vibe. That's really the only thing about the film that's dated.
"We're Going to Be Friends" and The White Stripes are stone cold classics. And the song is a perfect match for the credits and the movie: it has the whimsy, the innocence and playfulness of the film's tone in every one of its notes
@@Benenzini It still dates the film.
@@theflyingfisherman7829 All man-made works are dated. There's no way to beat time nor to fully separate a work from the time it was crafted. You can tell "Jaws" was made in 1975 by the look of the film grain alone. This isn't a negative thing. It's part of what makes watching movies enjoyable, connecting with the historical context it was made.
2:28 This is especially big since they live in the middle of nowhere.
The most underrated comedy you should react to: Black Dynamite (a mock blacksploitation film).
Funniest comedies of all time: This is Spinal Tap, Borat 1 and 2, and Bruno (by Sacha Baron Cohen the same actor who plays Borat but playing a gay character)
Classic comedy for the Holidays: A Christmas Story.
i know he swapped those numbers! i know it was 1216 one after magna carta!
One of my most favourite films 😁 😁
This is a movie one either loves or hates. There is no middle ground.
For the Europeans. American children in rural areas ride the same bus to school from age 5-18 unless you get a car and drive yourself to school. Idaho is one of those states that's so far west and north that trends get there way after they are cool, so much of the technology and items are from different times frames that are now starting to be cool in Idaho. So there is a feeling of not knowing when this movie took place. Because Idaho is timelessly out of place. And the USA is huge! My Brit wife couldn't understand Missouri is bigger than England. We drove 3 hours to Branson, Mo and hadnt even left the state. The states get even bigger as you head toward the western side of the country.
Driving from Wyoming across the border into Idaho there is a sign that says: "Welcome to Idaho, please set your clocks back 25 years!"
To Americans 100 years is a long time.
To Europeans 100 miles (or 100 km) is a long distance.
Driving from bottom ( San Diego ) to top of California ( Oregon border ) takes over 12 hours.
This movie is such a one of a kind. It cracks me up so hard every time. I'm impressed that you enjoyed it. I'm sure it was a bit strange to watch for a European. All I can say to explain it is that in some far-away corners of the US, like rural Idaho, there are still remote towns like this where you can see rolling hills and mountains for like 100 km that just always seem to stay a few decades behind the times. This movie really captured that in a hilarious way.
If you like quirky movies like this that follow the characters day to day more than tell a story I HIGHLY recommend Me and You and Everyone We Know. I never see reactions to it, which is a shame since it's such a gem.
This movie has a huge cult following. I'm biased, went to high school in Idaho back in the early 80's. Love the area, just beautiful. I've watched the show multiple times largely just to get a peek at the beautiful scenery. Lol. BTW, John Heder, who played Napoleon, was only paid $1,000 to play the role. Also, none of the actors are so catatonic in real life, they're pretty normal!
Man f#ck Davey you were the class president 🤷🏻♂️ I'm soulless monster you feeds on tears and I'd never do THAT to a lady
Napoleon realizes that uncle Rico and him were so alike. They didn't fit in, when they were in high school but they both had a skill dance/football respectfully and it made them accepted. Problem was for Rico he left high school and kept trying to go back to the 80's where he fit in.
The girl who plays Deb was in the EPIC Kevin Costner film WATERWORLD.
It’s hard to get some of the references for people who didn’t grow up in the US, so there’s not shame in not catching some things…but this movie is hilariously stupid for the simple sake of being stupid. For many of us, we knew a kid (or a few kids) like Napoleon in high school so we connected with this movie. To me, it was hilarious when I saw it in 2004 and still is one of the most quotable and funniest movies I’ve ever seen, simply for the absurdity.
The director has a couple more weird comedies I'd recommend. Nacho Libre starring Jack Black, and the most similar to Napoleon, Gentleman Bronco.
You have never seen the A Team...? If you do, Don't watch the newer movies, stick with the original 80's TV series.
Love it. It's a quirky sense of humor but enjoyable
Yeah the U.S. is so big that between the big cities and small towns, there's always a time lag as decades change. This movie is from 2004, but it's set in rural Idaho, they were still in the 90's there at this time.
Why are all my comments being deleted? I am so confused 😵💫
Well, this one wasn't. @MovieswithMary please check your outlook, I sent a message. (hopefully this message isn't automatically deleted) Does the algo think I'm a bot or something or am I saying something inappropriate?
I worked with couple of people who went to Preston high and they said this movie is pretty accurate in its depiction. 😂😂😂
16:32 america is wild, factory farms like this are 100% legal and you can be arrested simply for protesting it.
I watched this movie with a friend when I was a freshman in uni. I dunno what came into my head but... I printed HUNDREDS of "Vote for Pedro" flyers and asked my friend to help me tape them on walls all over the campus. We spent hours doing it, even in classrooms and toilets, the roofs, emergency exits... poor campus staff spent days collecting them... you could find some flying around for weeks... ah... youth's folly 🤣🤣
You developing a drinking problem there, Mary?
So glad that you reacted to this! I saw the first half of this movie at a friends place. I had the exact same thing in my head - I don't know what I just watched. But it hooked me to the point where I had to go and buy the movie to watch the rest of it. And now it's a favourite. Thanks for your awesome reaction as always.😊
You should react to "Eagle Vs Shark". It is New Zealand movie directed by Taika Waititi who has now become big in Hollywood too. It has a similar vibe but different setting.
I don't know what to say about this film but I will. It turns the biggest nerd into a hero. There is so little happening it actually makes sense brilliantly. The subtleties speak volumes in their own ways. And the soundtrack. I can tell that we are going to be friends 🎵
He didn't make her a cake. He built her a cake. LOL
I just hope he had a building permit for it. Otherwise, he could get in a lot of trouble with the Department of Cakes.
This is one of those movies where the first time is just....wtf? But then you rewatch it, and realize how quotable and hilarious it is. "Your mom goes to college..."
Your mom realizes how quotable and hilarious it is.
Jon Heder (Napoleon) stars in a great comedy called Blades of Glory. He co-stars with Will Ferrell as a wacky ice skating duo. ❤
The actor who played Uncle Rico is a vegetarian. He was constantly eating steak through the entire movie so if you watch closely you can see him spit it into napkins while pretending to wipe his mouth. Right after he throws the steak in Napoleon's face you can see him spit out a chunk and drop it on the plate next to him.
Gentlemen Bronco's is another weird Jared Hess movie. It's so great!
In Germany we also call them Kroketten (maybe spelled differently) but with the exakt Same pronounciation ^^
The older i get the funnier the scene of Pedro shaving his head gets 😅
This movie was a sleeper hit. Nobody knew or was talking about it before it came out. I went to see it with my boyfriend when it opened at the theater in Los Angeles and it was empty, there were only 2 other couples and that's it.
Perfect reaction, Mary! I know you think the characters changed through the movie, but I suspect the change was in you! I know that's what happened to me - I fell in love with the characters by the end of the movie.
We think you are awesome. #Davey sucks!
Hi Mary, since you like crime mystery investigations, I suggest one of the greatest ever made, that doubles as a top tier movie for any genre. LA Confidential. Have fun.
Yes. LA Confidential is a top 10 movie of all-time for me. Maybe top 5. Should have won Best Picture over Titanic, IMO.
Mary reacted to L.A. Confidential over two years ago (Sep 2021). It's not on YT though, only Patreon.
wat @@theflyingfisherman7829
Watch nacho libre it’s great
The right movie at the right time.
I remember taking my girlfriend to see this film and we didn't know what it was about. She normally HATES low budget movies like this but to my surprise she loved it. I remember she bought a Vote for Pedro T-shirt and worn it proudly. It was just a weird movie about even weirder people that everyone thought was funny. I believe the Director was the twin brother of the guy playing Neapolitan. In the music industry they would call it a 1 hit wonder but in films I have know idea.
