"Jared Hess' debut feature film became an unexpected cult classic, filled with awkward comedy courtesy of its strange protagonist, obsessed with "having awesome skills" and drawing mythical creatures. It's hard to predict if 'Napoleon Dynamite' can appeal to anyone, but one thing is certain: there is no other movie like it."
