Pedro seems to enjoy American food as he started by eating a corn dog. He somehow gets hot but he tries to drink water and take a bath but he realizes that it's his hair that made him so hot, so he shaves it all off and then puts on a hoodie and then tightens it because he doesn't want anyone to see it.
Napoleon Dynamite : Why do you got your hood on like that? Pedro : Well, when I came home from school my head started to get really hot. So I drank some cold water, but it didn't do nothing. So I laid in the bathtub for a while, but then I realized that it was my hair that was making my head hot.
Is there anything inappropriate in Napoleon Dynamite?
The language is never obscene; characters rely instead on insults ("idiot," "sicko," "retarded") and disguised swearing ("frickin'," "flippin'," "crap"). And there is mild sexual innuendo, along with some kissing and embracing.
Pedro recently moved from the turbulent Mexican city of Juarez to the rural town of Preston, Idaho, and enrolled in the local high school, where he is the only minority student. He is not exactly a hit with his peers at first and he hangs out primarily with Napoleon Dynamite, the school's resident alpha-nerd.
He demonstrates several symptoms of Asperger's disorder, yet he also challenges the notion that children and adolescents with Asperger's spectrum disorders will not be accepted or understood.
-Napoleon is definitely on the spectrum. He's high functioning, but that dude has poor social skills and he can't seem to read a room. -Pedro isn't just suffering from a language barrier(he seems to speak english fairly well but he is obviously ELL), he's also on the spectrum.
Hess describes the film as being "so autobiographical". "I grew up in a family of six boys in Preston, Idaho, and the character of Napoleon was a hybrid of all the most nerdy and awkward parts of me and my brothers growing up. Jerusha really was like Deb growing up.
Due to the film's setting, however, this scene supposedly happens in 2004-2005, when its popularity had long since ceded. Deb Bradshaw, Napoleon's love interest, does glamour shots at her house, with full makeup and hair that looks exactly like it did in the '80s.
“Napoleon,” an Apple Studios release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for strong violence, some grisly images, sexual content and brief language. Running time: 158 minutes.

(WWLP) – Jon Heder known as playing Napoleon Dynamite as the title character in the cult classic back in 2004 will be at a Springfield Thunderbirds game. Heder along with Efren Ramirez, who played Napoleon's best friend as Pedro Sanchez, are scheduled to be at MassMutual for the T-Birds game on Saturday, March 23rd.
Napoleon Dynamite is, at its core, a character study of the titular Napoleon. The movie deals with Napoleon and the supporting characters as people; the movie as a whole is relatively plotless, only tenuously connected by the story of Pedro's campaign for class president.
As per Napoleon's ID, the film takes place during the 2004-05 school year. And yet, the movie is brimming with elements of the '80s and '90s. That speaks to Kip's dial-up modem, the Moon Boots, Deb's side ponytail, Napoleon's Walkman, and more.
It was the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, and Efren Ramirez—who plays Pedro, the bashful Mexican transfer student running for school president in Napoleon Dynamite—recalls pinning posters up and down Main Street in Park City while dutifully passing out “Vote for Pedro” pins.
Background. Kip is 32 years old, but he still lives with his grandmother, along with his brother, in Preston, Idaho. Before Uncle Rico came along, he would usually stay inside the house chatting with people, or "babes" as he calls them, on the computer.
Are there inappropriate scenes in Napoleon Dynamite?
Napoleon Dynamite is a movie designed to be appropriate for the entire family to enjoy. It is a feel-good movie and it never uses any profane language and makes no inappropriate references. This shows audience awareness because there is nothing a child could not see or hear, making it family-friendly.
Lyle's post-credits marriage advice to Kip (Aaron Ruell) and Lafawnduh (Shondrella Avery) was one of the only off-script or improvised moments in the film. Many characters in the film were based on the younger brothers of cast and crew members. Heder's iconic dance near the end of the film wasn't choreographed.
He demonstrates several symptoms of Asperger's disorder, yet he also challenges the notion that children and adolescents with Asperger's spectrum disorders will not be accepted or understood.
As Heder points out, Napoleon Dynamite was loosely based on Hess's life growing up in Idaho. Without Hess, a proper sequel will never happen. Following the success of Napoleon Dynamite, Hess went on to make other successful comedies such as Nacho Libre (2006) and Masterminds (2016).
That took us by surprise. Coon: It's not a Mormon movie, but it's safe to assume Napoleon is a Mormon; he wears a Ricks College T-shirt, he's up in Idaho. In almost every interview, being LDS would come up. It kind of gave the Church exposure in a different area for a while.
