Magic Marmalade 1st Aug 2021		Rated 7/10 Bit of a Marmite movie this one... ...You will either appreciate it's wild eccentricity as a subtle form of brilliance, or you will be one of those people who say: "I don't get it". I found this on one of my old recordable DVDs during lockdown, and forgot I had it. It had been a while since I last watched it, and wondered if it was still as funny as I remembered... And I believe it is. ...It's humour may not be for everyone, as these are boldly drawn, even stereotypical characters, centring around the titular Napoleon Dynamite, who is a "socially awkward" chap to say the least. A guy who is a bit "bully fodder" in his school, and on the extreme outer fringes of nerd-dom among his contemporaries, ...However, he is not the only one, as he begins to gather a couple of outsiders / oddballs as friends, one of whom... Pedro, he tries to get elected as class president. Also, less aided, and more impeded by his own equally odd family, when his grandmother, who he lives with, goes away for a spell, leaving creepy and developmentally arrested Uncle Rico comes to "babysit" Napoleon and Kip, and decides to try an make the most of the opportunity. There are some really laugh out moments in this, including, my favourite part, the dangers of using a mail order time-machine :), and of course, the pay off moment, when, with the aid of a funky Jamiroquai track, and teach yourself to dance VHS cassette, Napoleon saves the day, and has a genuinely uplifting sub-urban super-hero moment. An odd movie, for odd people, like me! :) ✔︎ Helpful Review?
