Criticism

" A totally bizarre, but never adrift in slapstick satire of the American Dream - backed with a terrific 80's soundtrack. Cult! ".

" There appears to be not only a scene for air guitarists, but also for air drummer. At least that frank and sassy this good-humored U.S. theatrical comedy and succeeds to celebrate like so much laughter works of recent times the proven principle, anti-hero triumphs against the background of abstruse as possible competitions. Jon Heder as' Napoleon Dynamite " a master of this guild will have to adjust to competition, as author, star and director Ari Gold served quite accurately the same nerd stereotype. Cult -breaking. "
