Heder, Thornton team up for some laughs

Since "Napoleon Dynamite," I've been a huge John Heder fan. Although he seems to be playing a variation on the same role, I find his good-boy image "flippin' sweet," as Napoleon would say.
Even though I walked out of "Benchwarmers," the film wasn't disappointing enough to overthrow Heder's hilarious portrayal of Napoleon.

On Sept. 29, Heder returns to the big screen with an unlikely co-star, Billy Bob Thornton, in "School for Scoundrels." In the film, Heder plays a man who never really learned to be a "man." Socially inept and a painfully awkward, Heder's character seeks out Thornton's advice and ends up going head-to-head with him for the girl of the film.

The stark contrast between bad boy Thornton and good guy Heder is curious enough to draw me to the theater and snag a few laughs.
