Napoleon Dynamite turns 20 this year and we're delighted to bring it back to the big screen as our next Tween Film Club. A listless and alienated teenager decides to help his new friend win the class presidency in their small western high school, while he must deal with his bizarre family life back home.

Back in 2004, a quirky indie movie starring an odd teenager with an even stranger name became a surprise hit at the box office. Napoleon Dynamite doesn't have much of a plot, and it is probably fair to say that it's a bit of a Marmite film. But over the past twenty years, it has built up a loyal cult following of fans who love Rex Kwon Do, Tina the llama, ligers and own several 'Vote for Pedro' t-shirts. We love it!
