Best Way to Have a BLAST at the Movies? Add Dynamite...


Independent Gem Puts Hollywood to Shame

Another summer movie season is nearly behind us. Millions were squandered by the studios (Troy, The Alamo, Catwoman) and movie patrons alike (Fahrenheit 9/11, White Chicks, Harry Potter 3). Yet in all my forays into the multiplex, one film actually did connect with audience. With a whopping production budget hovering around $400,000, Napolean Dynamite is the ONLY movie from the 2004 summer crop that I would pay to see again. Admittedly, I enjoy quirky/independent cinema...But the amazing thing about this film is the theater full of MTV teens that I viewed it with resoundingly approved as well...And they said moon boots would never be chic again. So whether you're trying placate grandma or romance that really cute chick/guy at Starbucks, give Napoleon D a try.
