Napoleon Dynamite



Napoleon Dynamite was an american film that showed many different aspects of a teenage life. This film was about a boy named Napoleon Dynamite who is in high school and lives with is grandmother and brother. Napoleon's grandmother leaves for a while out of town. So she called Napoleon's Uncle to watch him and his brother. Napoleon's uncle is stuck in the 80's where he thinks and lives his life as if he was still in high school. He wants to go back in time to change this play that would let him get a full ride to college with a football scholarship. His uncle owns a weird selling items company. Where he goes to houses and tries to sell items that are already owned.

Napoleon is sorta a socially awkward kinda kid. He doesn't have many friends and is in the sign language club. Napoleon befriends a boy named pedro who just moved to town from Mexico. Pedro teaches Napoleon the ways of getting ladies in mexico. So they can get dates to the school dance. So pedro bakes a cake saying will you go to the dance with me and gives it to the most popular girl in school. But Pedro is denied. So he told Pedro to draw a picture for one of the girls he thinks is pretty out of the yearbook. So he gives it to her mother and her mother forces her to go with him. Reason being is that her mother is one of his uncles clients and he told her mother this sympathetic story making her go to the dance with Napoleon.

Napoleon then goes to the dance but takes him awhile to get there because he asked his uncle to give him a ride to his dates house but takes a while with a client. So Napoleon decides to walk to her house. On the way to her house, he runs in to Pedro's gangster cousins. They ended up giving Napoleon and his date a ride to the dance. Napoleon and his date get to the dance and his date ditches him. So he ends up dancing with Pedro's date.

Pedro soon after decides to run for president. Napoleon and this girl help him. They came up with a campaign and made posters and such. The day of the speeches and the election Napoleon dances in front of the whole entire school to motivate the school to vote for pedro.
