If you loved Nacho Libre, try Napoleon Dynamite

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Jared Hess, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Nacho Libre, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Napoleon Dynamite is

Idaho countryside, summer, a chapstick tube lies on the floor. A moonboots-wearing teen draws ligers, his friend campaigns for class president, a tater tot-filled lunch tray sits alone. Jared Hess finds humor in the mundane.
