Funny, endearing film about a nerdy type of guy with a strange sister, slacker uncle and a couple of pet llamas.

A oddball of a movie in that this is a tale of a bunch of pathetic stereotypes and failures. The main character backed by the pointless organ soundtrack emits weirdness and freakiness. The characters are pointless and the plot stutters like a rusted derelict car that is on its last legs. The attempts to be humorous are blatantly there, however, the futile actions of Napoleon Dynamite that attempt to have you rolling on the floor infact make you want to slouch in your chair and fall asleep. This movie is not funny! The feable link of food and romance is poorly thought out and the characters are pointless attempts to depict a high school and the struggle of a loser. This movie is a boring, brain dulling, futile, flop that partially redeems itself with its ending but on the whole is a waste of the precious 84 minutes it takes. In hind-sight I wish I never saw this movie as it was pure torture.
