The delightfully quirky and understated coming of age cult comedy, Napoleon Dynamite is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a special cast-hosted screening at the historic Redford Theatre.
Released in 2004, Napoleon Dynamite and some members of its perfectly cast band of outcasts — high school body president hopeful, Pedro (Efren Ramirez), Jon Gries who plays Napoleon's football-throwing uncle Rico, Tina the llama aka “fat lard,” and Napoleon himself, played by Jon Heder — will be in attendance for a special anniversary screening and Q&A session in Detroit on Jan. 10 and at Kalamazoo's State Theatre on Jan. 11.
Tickets ($25+) are on sale now and can be purchased by visiting redfordtheatre.com and kazoostate.com.
