DOWNEY — Comedy fan favorite “Napoleon Dynamite” is coming to Downey for a full screening followed by cast Q&A on Friday, Nov. 18, at 8 pm at the Downey Theatre.

Film stars Jon Heder, Efren Ramirez and Jon Gries will lead the post-show “party.”

“Napoleon Dynamite” tells the story of a socially awkward and bullied high school student’s love, loss, and daily life exploits in contemporary mid-western America.

While not a mainstream hit, the film gained a devoted following of fans of its quirky characters and off-the-wall sense of humor. Its release at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival caused a sensation, and it is often included in “the funniest movies of all time” list.

Tickets may be purchased at the box office, located at 8435 Firestone Blvd., Tuesday through Friday from 11 am to 5 pm. They are also available at www.downeytheatre.org, or by calling (562) 861-8211.
