Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

Napoleon Dynamite tells the story of an awkward sixteen year-old in a rural town in Idaho whose awkward social tendencies have the habit of causing a series of social catastrophes. I enjoyed this film because the moral was that friendship is the best thing that you can have. Napoleon in the movie is very disliked by most people and often bullied but he was happy because he had friends who cared about him. 
The director used a series of extended shots to show how slowly the life in this town was.  It used a variety of bright colors to add some personality to the drab little town. The music that it used in the movie was reminiscent of the 80's but still had a modern twist. The movie overall didn't have that intense of a conflict but it was cool to see normal happenings escalating as opposed to very dramatic events escalating even more. The movie was just a snip bit of an awkward teenager's life and I liked that. 

The lighting in the movie was pretty bright because it took place in a bright, cute, rural town. I would say that this movie stands out over other comedy movies because it is not over the top and doesn't try to be anything it knows it's not. I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys laid back movies and doesn't want to invest too much attention  to what they are watching.
