Adventures of Power

A very poor man’s “Napoleon Dynamite,” Ari Gold’s cringeworthy Sundance bore stars himself as Power, a headband-wearing, borderline-spastic air drummer who leaves his Nevada home after his obsession leads to an accident where he works.

Our hero’s odyssey takes him to the mean streets of Newark, where he joins a team that competes in the Big Apple against another led by Adrian Greiner, as the preening son of his former boss.

So would-be hip it hurts, “Adventures of Power” is barely watchable, despite the presence of such pros as Michael McKean and Jane Lynch.

Running time: 88 minutes. Rated PG-13 (profanity, sexual references). At Loews Village, Third Avenue and East 11th Street.
