 Napoleon Dynamite it's Not!, 2008-07-06
God help us! Has the quirky, independent film finally reached it's undoing? Has it's own conventions now made it conventional? Seems like all you have to do today is: take a pretty, precocious girl; put her in flannel and Chuck Taylors; give her a guitar so she can compose her own soundtrack; surround her with your now cliched, socially awkward/emotionally retarded boyfriend; socially awkward/emotionally stable parents; socially adept/emotionally retarded yuppies; put a living room in the front yard...oh, and don't forget the quirky, organic animation to "tie" it all together. Napoleon Dynamite what hast thou wrought?
To be fair, there are some truly sparkling moments from the actors and the plot, once it gets going. But you can't help getting the impression that the director never really trusted the true quirkiness of the script, or his cast. The whole thing comes off like the final project of a How to Make Indy Films class. Whatever grit it was supposed to have has been polished to a high buff. What we get now is film craft by Butterick.
If this is what down and dirty independence has come to, what's really depressing is wondering where do we go from here?
