Um, so my friends and I are totally on the awesomest adult kickball team in America, and our Team Name is the Fighting Ligers. We wear purple shirts, because that's pretty much all of our favorite color. We know the magical powers of the Liger are totally working because we are undefeated with no runs against us and we are half way through the season. I thought that was some pretty cool stuff.

I work with kids and teens in physical therapy and Napolean Dynamite has been my bridge to reaching them. I automatically break the barriers with the patients and their parents with the movie lines and scenes. It has been AWESOME!!! I can immediately put someone at ease and laughing within seconds. I have worked with kids for some time now and this movie has been the most effective and fun tool I have ever used.
What's even more rewarding is that I collect the memorabilia and relive the movie daily myself. It will always be a cherished classic close to my heart because I have shared it with my family and friends, and now with my patients. No matter what we have a common ground together! A grateful fan, Gina :D

I have a cool story to tell. I have seen the movie a thousand times and it was Halloween so I decided to be Napoleon. I went to the store and bought the Vote for Pedro shirt, the hair, and the glasses. The next day at school it was the Halloween Parade and I came to school dressed up as Napoleon.
Everybody loved it. Then at the Halloween Parade the principle would call out groups of costumes like ninjas and super heros, then all the ninjas and super heros would stand up. Well, he didn't call movie characters and my science teacher really liked my costome so he went up to the principle and asked him to say Napolean Dynamite. He did, I stood up and everybody cheered. I was then awarded best costume of the year. Your big fan, Aidan Monheim

I am 12 years old and my name is Josh. My
cousin Garrett looks a lot like Napoleon Dynamite. In fact, people ask him for his autograph because he looks so much like him. He has to convince them that he is not. My family had a Napoleon party one night. We invited everyone we knew. While watching the movie we had tater tots, nachos, and corn dogs! This party took place the night after the movie came out. We had to have three showing for everyone to come see it! Oh, I forgot to mention, my cousin saw the movie in theaters 16 times and my family 4.
Well anyway, one day after school my parents told us that we were actually going to meet Jon Heder! I was so exited! I put on my Napoleon T-shirt and we were off to the movie premier of Black Cloud which Jon was supposed to be at. Although I was at the back of the line and he was signing his signature less and less. I asked him to sign my t-shirt and he signed it.
