| | Napoleon Dynamite Soundtrack CD (28 Customer Reviews)
A surprise hit cult film in the summer of 2004, NAPOLEON DYNAMITE presents a story--told in vaguely connected, staccato vignettes--about the exploits of a lanky, maladroit teen. The singular Napoleon wanders through a desolate, surreal Idaho, doing "whatever [he feels] like," be it defiantly telling tall tales to jocks, studying hip-hop dance moves, or helping a newcomer win a student council race.
NAPOLEON DYNAMITE's soundtrack mirrors the movie's charming, quriky unpredictability, bouncing around from sound to sound, mixing in memorable lines from the movie and bites of John Swihart's Esquivel-esque score. While the film exists outside of time, there are clues that the 1980s are going on somewhere near Napoleon 's universe, not least of which are the New Wave classics in the background, from Yaz's "Only You" to Alphaville's "Forever Young," played fittingly at the big dance. However, the soundtrack also moves from the indie-pop of Rogue Wave ("Every Moment") to the retro-dance of Jamiroquai ("Canned Heat") to a Latin ballad from Trio Los Panchos ("Solamente Una Vez"). The gleefully strange NAPOLEON DYNAMITE can't be easily described, and its soundtrack is just as enchantingly obtuse.

Napoleon Dynamite Soundtrack Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews A second look will have you hooked...
When I first started watching Napoleon Dynomite, my first question was "What the???" No apparent plot and no clue as to what/where/why/when. But a friend suggested I "give it a chance" because "you'll see." Well I did. My six year old daughter even joined in and gave it a chance and you know what? We were HOOKED! We are Napoleon Dynomite Addicts! So it was no surprise to anyone that we had to have the soundtrack. I LOVE the soundtrack. It has funny little quips from the movie. My only disappointment is that the opening song is not on it. But overall, if you LOVE the movie, you will HAVE TO HAVE the CD.

 This movie changed my life......
This movie serves as a reminder that amongst all the bright stars that the underdogs of the world always shine through.
The one liners and minuettes will forever leave a favorable impression that there is a God named Napolean....

I really like the White Stripes but it bums me out that Freinds isn't on the Napoleon Dynamite Soundtrack.
