Jon Heder in the magnificent Napoleon Dynamite, is one of the most winning movie creations in years.Full Review

I laughed. And I laughed primarily over Heder's hilarious performance. You ain't seen nothing till you've seen Napoleon attack that tether ball. Full Review

Washington Post

More than a deadpan comedy about oddball losers. This dork has his day, and this story has its touching subtext -- growing pains relieved by unlikely hope. Full Review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

An inspired dead-end stunt that keeps delivering snarky laughs far longer than it has any right to. Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

Hess and his terrific cast -- Heder is geek perfection -- make their own kind of deadpan hilarity. You'll laugh till it hurts. Sweet.Full Review
