WAPO gift link: The awkward, inspiring, completely out-there inside story of ‘Napoleon Dynamite’

My family loved this movie. Ds2 had a Vote for Pedro T-shirt.

I’ll never forget that dh’s principal took the staff to watch the movie as a team-building thing, and one of his co-workers just did not get it. She was mad that they went to a movie that was so “weird and unprofessional.”

So, funny thing… I had to type in an email address to read the article, and I realized that I chose that particular email address based on a scene from Napoleon Dynamite. “We still feeling pretty good about this 32-piece set here?”

As someone who grew up not in Preston, but not too far away, and went to a special theater downtown to see the movie right when it was released, it has always had such a special place in my family’s life.

Thanks for sharing the article! It was a fun read.

Napoleon Dynamite is a family favorite. Our kids said that it would be a deal breaker if a partner told them they didn’t like it!
