I, like a lot of you, absolutely loved Napoleon Dynamite’s über-nerdiness. I even liked Nacho Libre, not as much, but still a rather crazy kids flick. The key name in these movies is Jared Hess, who directed and co-wrote both Libre Undercover Brother dvdrip The House Bunny trailer and Dynamite with his wife Jerusha.

A few months ago (if you cared to notice), the trailer for Gentlemen Broncos, the next film by the duo, was released. In short, I Who Killed Doc Robbin ipod loved it! I mean, a movie about a teen’s story being stolen by a famous sci-fi writer? One of the most promising plots I’ve heard this year!

What I knew wouldn’t be another Napoleon Dynamite

has turned out to be nothing but schmaltz this weekend, as Gentlemen Broncos is being pooh-poohed by critics. Here are some reviews:

• “Hess wrote and directed “Dynamite,” and here’s proof we shouldn’t have rewarded him. The hollow Broncos is even more cruelly disdainful, designed primarily to scorn the pathetic lives within.” –Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

• “The audience may have bought the act in Napoleon Dynamite. But this time, the act bombs.”  –Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

• “The movie’s a chaotic, infuriating mess that will challenge the most-devoted of the Napoleon Dynamite faithful.” –David Germain, Associated Press

Even one of my favorite critics on the web, Katey Rich, hated on it.

• “The Hesses could not be bothered to separate the wheat from the chaff, presenting a movie that’s a jumble of ideas and pastiches, none of them paying off.” –Katey Rich, Cinema Blend

So it looks like the only other wide release this weekend aside from Michael Jackson’s This Is It (which is amazing, by the way) is a bomb. Something that I’d never expect from the two Hess’s that made one of my favorite movies of all time. I’ll still be seeing this one for myself, although it looks like Broncos science-fiction won’t go down as easy as Dynamite’s tater tots did.
