"Nacho Libre" (Hess Bros. Project)

Nacho Libre

quote:

Raised in the monastery where he is now the cook, Nacho finds a way to earn money for the holy place by wrestling, even though it is strictly forbidden by the church elders. Naturally, Nacho isn't acting out of purely altruistic measures, as he wishes to help Sister Encarnacion, a beautiful Mexican nun who has recently arrived at the monastery.


It's written and directed by the Hess brothers who brought us "Napoleon Dynamite", and it's starring Jack Black, due in 2006.

I just heard about this one. I think it could be pretty funny. Btwn Jack Black and the Napoleon Dynamite guys, sounds like a good combo to me. Have you heard any other recent news about it?

I disliked "Napoleon Dynamite", although I am a huge fan of JB's. So I'll be seeing this.

Jack Black is histerical is just about every comedy he is in.

The only comedy I can think of where he isn't funny, is "The Cable Guy".

I'll be seeing this.

Big fan of Napoleon Dynamite and I think Jack Black is okay. Definitely sounds like an interesting movie. I think I'll watch this.

I know. I'm just saying a movie starring Jack Black from the creators of Napoleon Dynamite looks like a disaster in the making.

Best part in the trailer was when he's showing off his new clothes to that nun, and then he flexes his butt cheeks into a wedgie. Awesome stuff. This movie will be so much fun to see. Can't wait until it comes out.

Ignoring all the bad reviews and the advise of my buddies to skip Nacho Libre....I still went to see it.

All my spectations sunk during the film.

I was hoping to get a little history of the Mexican Luchadores from 70's like Santo and Blue Demon or other icons....Of course that is not what the film is about. It's about a guy who puts on a mask and tries to save an orphanage....pretty noble right? Well, sure it is...but it completely collapse.

What you get instead is Jack Black (in his typical clumsy characters) falling down, crashing into things, looking like an idiot, hitting his head...etc..etc...there was a sense of friendship and stuff with the pretty looking nun...but that just didn't fit in to be honest. It was just out of place. Very disappointed...I really wanted this movie to take off....but it just use the usual fart jokes to try and balance itself...just wasn't enough.

WD awards Nacho Libre

2 out of 5

I was pretty disappointed myself. It is just filled with jokes. Some are really funny but others are just really not even funny. They really lowered the film in my mind.
