				Gosh! 
				Plot Summary: 
				In a small Idaho town, the awkward and socially isolated 
				Napoleon Dynamite navigates high school life while dealing with 
				his eccentric family, which includes his internet-obsessed older 
				brother Kip and get-rich-quick scheming uncle Rico. He finds 
				unexpected friendships with a shy, artistic girl Deb and a quiet 
				exchange student who decides to run for class president, Pedro. 
				Napoleon's journey involves supporting his friends and 
				discovering his own unique way of belonging in a world that 
				often misunderstands him. 
				Dad's Preview: 
				You'll either get this film, or you won't. When I laud this, 
				some folks look at me like I'm crazy (hint: that's how I can 
				tell you grew up as a bully). The plot is really about nothing, just some kids at high school. They 
				are nerds. One in particular, Napoleon, just won't accept that 
				he's not destined for greatness. My kids and I watched this film 
				over and over. We still quote its lines. We rejoice when the 
				nerds actually win one! Because, honestly, there's alotta nerd 
				in many of us.
