“Napoleon Dynamite” Cast Members Coming To Evansville

Cast members of the cult classic, "Napoleon Dynamite" will be making their way to Evansville, Indiana for a special screening of the show and a special discussion of the movie.

Nearly fifteen years ago, the world was introduced to a guy named Napoleon, his friend Pedro, his uncle Rico, and his llama named Tina. This indie comedy film became one of the most quoted movies of our generation. I can't tell you how many times I have heard the movie referenced in school since it came out. Heck, I still quote the movie...there are too many iconic lines not to quote. A few examples are:

• "Tina, you fat sard, come get some dinner. Tina! Eat the FOOD!"
• "Gosh!"
• "I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious."
• "What's a liger?"  "It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed...bred for its skills in magic."
• and "Your mom goes to college!"

You know that you have said at least one of those quotes at least once in everyday conversation. That's what made the movie so iconic. Even though the movie came out in 2004, fans still adore it as if it came out yesterday. If you're one of those fans, do we have something exciting to tell you about...

“Napoleon Dynamite” is coming to the Victory Theatre. Not just the movie, but Napoleon Dynamite, aka Jon Heder, himself!
