OMG. Soon you can have the line up of Napolean Dynamite action figures sitting on your desk. There's news that the cult classic will spawn a "sweet" line of action figures based on characters from film. How cool is that?
You read that right. Now you can own the Generation X anti-hero Napolean Dynamite (dressed in moon boots we hope), his "Vote for Pedro" Sanchez, wierd scheming Uncle Ricco, and geeky chatroom older bro Kip.
The action figures should be out this fall of 2005.

I have yet to see this film, but one of my best friends, a screenwriter with great taste in movies, has told me numerous times how un-funny Napolean Dynomite is. It doesn't stop there. He went on to say that watching the movie is a complete and utter waste of 80+ minutes, and he wishes he could have that time back. Needless to say, I'm in no rush to see it, so why would I want an action figure? If Mariah Carey started selling Glitter dolls, would anybody run to buy them. Doubtful.

For whatever reason some people absolutely despise this movie. People you otherwise respect and consider having good taste in movies and... even... a healthy sense of humor.
However, believe me for those who "get it", this movie is an absolute classic. And yes, you really do have to "get it". I think it requires the type of humor who enjoys the quirkiness of human behavior and picks up on the nuances of situations. It's subtle. I've heard that it's basically an age gap as well - folks generally a tad older don't really understand it either.
Believe me, this movie is friggen hilarious. You just don't know it.
