Pros: Jack Black!
Cons: A few overly silly parts
Summary: Here’s a great idea: Get the guy who made Napoleon Dynamite (Jared Hess) and team him up with the guy who wrote School of Rock (Mike White) and then cast Jack Black in the lead role. The hilarious result of this collaboration is a movie ... read more

Pros: It's a really good story.
Cons: The direction and dialogue.
Summary: This movie should've been right up my alley. It is about wrestling. That alone should've made me see it on the first day. However, because of scheduling craziness, I wasn't able to take my father and two sons until a couple weeks after the debut. Still, ... read more

Pros: Half of the time it is funny, good performances
Cons: Half the time it isn't funny, amateurish and devoid of a plot
Summary: I was one of the lucky few who saw “Napoleon Dynamite” before it became immensely popular. I went and watched it on my birthday with some family and didn’t know anything about it yet. I thought it was decent, a little pointless, but worth a few chuckles. ... read more

Pros: Jack Blacks facial expressions, Ana De La Reguera, wrestling match ups. It was short
Cons: not enough laughs, juvenile at times,
Summary: Spoiler WarningThis opinion reveals everything about the plot of the movie Jack Black stars in this mildly funny film about a man of the cloth that dreams of being a Luchador. Nacho Libre starts out with a young chubby Mexican boy ... read more

Jun 21 '06
Pros: The pretty nun
Cons: Mugging, useless visuals, insulting lenghty lead-ins to unfunny visual punchlines.
Summary: We love Jack Black but this is just terrible. Maybe he was trying to be serious because of "religious" content, but even that lent no redeeming quality to it. So even if farting sounds make you laugh -- there's a time and a place for everything I ... read more

Jun 20 '06
Pros: Jack Black. Some interesting mimicry of Mexican film making. Two of the jokes were funny.
Cons: 72 jokes were unfunny. Racist.
Summary: We can only guess the conversation between husband and wife writing team Jared and Jerusha Hess went something like this, "Holy smokes honey, our agent says he can sell whatever we want and make a big studio movie with a real movie star!" "But I'm ... read more

Jun 20 '06
Pros: Absolutely hilarious, bizarre and yet amusing
Cons: Some of Jack Black's antics are a little overplayed
Summary: Jack Black is funny. He is also kind of "schtick-y" and annoying. Give him a Spanish accent, a mustach and a crazy afro, and you've got yourself Nacho Libre, the funniest luchador (wrestler) ever! He still does his kind of funny/kind of ... read more

Pros: Jack Black just had a son, so good for him. I wish him the best.
Cons: Jack Black also just released an unwatchable comedy.
Summary: An improvement on Napoleon Dynamite simply by virtue of starring Jack Black, writer/director Jared Hess' second film Nacho Libre is still as tasteless, moronic and unfunny as his debut, the title alone revealing Hess' continuing obsession ... read more

Pros: joyful, fun, shot on location, Jack Black
Cons: not as funny as Napoleon Dynamite and not as deep
Summary: Nacho Libre is the latest offering from Jared Hess, co-writer and director of Napoleon Dynamite. This time out, Josh Heder - whose iconic look and sound made Napoleon Dynamite what it was - has been replaced by Jack Black. The switch signals a move, ... read more

Jun 13 '06
Pros: At least it's only 90 minutes
Cons: Not the most redeeming 90 minutes you could indulge in
Summary: It seems that these days, America gets the kind of comedy it deserves. Writer-director Jared Hess' Napoleon Dynamite had characters that were to be pitied instead of laughed at, but millions of people lapped it up. Now Hess is back with another ... read more

Pros: The accents in the movie are which make it!
Cons: It can get over the top and stupid at times
The scary disturbing wrestlers.
Summary: You have to have a different sense of humor to appreciate Nacho Libre. Its not for everyone and people will find it stupid and not at all funny. If you hated Napoleon Dynamite then don't waste your $$$ on this film because the score, director, and writer

Pros: There is so many jokes and sight gags in the movie
Cons: Film "Critics" would rather you go see some movie about "cowboys" on a mountain
Summary: The movie has a wonderful soundtrack that highlights the Hilarity of Jack Black as the son of a Finish Lutheran Missionary and a Mexican Catholic Deacon. The Mexican priest finds himself having trouble fulfilling his priestly duties and resisting the

Pros: borrowed sweats, white boots, corn on the cob, BAPTISM, Nacho's poses while in town
Cons: not enough ring tones, yet
couldn't go to bathroom for fear of missing something
Summary: There were twin girls (age 6) and two 30 year old couples who saw the movie together. We all really enjoyed the movie and have not stopped making each other laugh at some of the funny silly lines and facial expressions. We (minus the kids, of course)
