| The Film YapNick RogersNapoleon's climactic spaz-out dance is more than just a goofy gag. It's a payoff to a great buddy-system comedy and the idea that it's not high school's dreams and regrets that last, but the sometimes-bizarre friendships. |
| Film ThreatEric CamposThe cast playing these eccentric characters is magnificent...This is definitely one of the most unique comedies youll see all year. |

| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonyDelights in deadpan %u2013 celebrates nerd. And is a testament that beauty can be found everywhere. A charming, albeit quite odd cinematic piece. Harold and Maude -lite. |
| Dallas ObserverMelissa LevineIt's charming. It's hilarious. It is perhaps the most beautifully crafted, lovingly rendered portrait of extreme geekitude ever to grace the screen. It's Napoleon Dynamite. |
