Trivia
The name "Napoleon Dynamite" is a pseudonym used by Elvis Costello for his 1986 album, "Blood and Chocolate". Executive producer Jeremy Coon has stated that the similarity is a coincidence and that the producers were unaware of Costello's usage of the name until the film was in production. See more »Goofs
Plot holes: Just before Grandma leaves, she tells Napoleon and Kip that she will be back the next day. The audience can see that there is a yellow teddy bear magnet on the refrigerator with nothing underneath it. The very next day, when Napoleon gets home from school, there is a note on the refrigerator that reads, "Napoleon, Don't forget to feed Tina. Love, Grandma :-)" By this time, Grandma has already had her accident and was in the hospital, which means that she never would have had the opportunity to come home and leave the note on the refrigerator.
