Cast Of 'Napoleon Dynamite' To Attend Patchogue Screening

PATCHOGUE, NY — If you've ever wanted to "vote for Pedro," you may be in luck.

The Patchogue Theater will present a full screening of the indie film Napoleon Dynamite, followed by a "lively, freewheeling," moderated discussion with fan-favorite cast members on April 14 at 8 p.m.

Participants will hear from Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Efren Ramirez (Pedro) and Jon Gries (Uncle Rico), and can even attend a Meet and Greet with the cast members.

The beloved indie classic Napoleon Dynamite released in 2004.

"Since then much has changed; but the characters, as enduring as they are endearing, stay in our hearts," the Patchogue Theater said on the event page.

The film follows the story of Napoleon Dynamite, a socially awkward 16-year-old from Preston, Idaho. After his grandmother is injured in an accident, his strangely nostalgic uncle, Rico shows up to keep an eye on him. With no safe haven at home or at school, Napoleon befriends the new kid, Pedro. Together, the two launch a campaign to run for class president.

"Appealing to the inner - teenager in each of us, the story, and more importantly the dialogue, makes 'Napoleon Dynamite' one of the most quoted movies of our time," the Patchogue Theater said on the event page. "Napoleon Dynamite makes us laugh - and laugh hard - over and over again."

Tickets range from $59 to $83, and Meet and Greet tickets are $75.
