Napoleon Dynamite 10th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack Review

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Napoleon Dynamite comes this fuzzy, collectible, liger-fur Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack with a locker-full of special features that are more fun than big sleeves and extra tots!

Napoleon Dynamite is a new kind of hero, complete with a tight fro, sweet moon boots, and skills that can’t be topped. Napoleon spends his days drawing mythical beasts, duking it out with his brother Kip and avoiding his scheming Uncle Rico. When two new friends enter Napoleon’s life – shy Deb and mustachioed Pedro – the trio launches a campaign to elect Pedro for class president and make the student body’s wildest dreams come true. But if Pedro is to beat stuck-up Summer, Napoleon will have to unleash his secret weapon…

Ok, I have to admit I was a bit shocked when I found out there was a 10th Anniversary Edition of Napoleon Dynamite coming out.  I can remember the first time I saw it, and it honestly does not feel like that was 10 years ago!  I last caught Napoleon Dynamite playing on TV a few months ago but was more than happy to give the Blu-Ray a go.

The cover itself is perfect for this movie with Liger-inspired velvety striping and an awkward portrait of the hero himself.  The foldout package contained within the outside cover also has artwork inspired by the film, and holds the blu-ray disc and the double sided DVD.

I had a lot of fun checking out this film again, I really love odd characters, especially the slightly dull but always confidant Napoleon.   If you have somehow missed catching this film over the last 10 years, now is the time to pick up the DVD and fall in love.

Disclosure:  I received the above mentioned product in order to facilitate this review.  All thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.
