Napoleon Dynamite isn't like anyone else in his hometown of Preston, Idaho. In fact he is not like anyone you've ever known. A peculiar looking boy who lives with his quad-bike riding grandmother, 31 year-old brother Kip and his ultra-vain Uncle Rico. The family is all too caught-up in their own lives to give Napoleon the time of day and left to his own devices, he tries to impress girls at his high-school by helping his best-friend Pedro, become student-body president.
