Plus, it’s always more exciting to finish something up.) Well, I guess for a lot of people this is like the correct masculine version of being a teenager, right. “Hollywood is such shite; if only there... read more

Preston, Idaho's most curious resident, Napoleon Dynamite (Heder), lives with his grandma and his 32-year-old brother (who cruises chat rooms for ladies) and works to help his best friend, Pedro (Efren Ramirez), snatch the Student Body President title from mean teen Summer Wheatley (Haylie Duff).

Well, I guess for a lot of people this is like the correct masculine version of being a teenager, right. “Hollywood is such shite; if only there were fewer girls and more disgusting boys lol.” Which is kinda almost cool; the only thing is, while I like girls (I must NOT be a straight guy lol—loopy face smilie), boys are….
