Nacho Libre

Pros: A few funny bits...
Cons: ... waaaay too many stupid bits, where was the characterisation???

In Nacho Libre, Jack Black plays the part of a Friar called Ignacio (known as “Nacho”). Frustrated chef at a monastery which is home to many orphans by day, he is on his way to becoming frustrated Luchador (wrestler) by night. One day he ...

Pros: Not as stupid as I thought. Jack Black
Cons: Well, there is some stupid humor here.

I rented this movie with ZERO expectations. When I had read that the director and writer of Napoleon Dynamite was responsible I avoided this movie when it was in theaters. I was one of the few who hated Napoleon Dynamite and I am at a total loss ...

Pros: Um, cute idea
Cons: Everything else, this movie was boring and just sucked.

This movie is a complete piece of excrement and a total waste of time. It has two major flaws, the acting and the writing. And these are the cornerstones of any good comedy. Physical comedy I feel is the purest form of comedy, and the hardest to do ...

Pros: very funny, perfect length, no sex or gory violence
Cons: some super silly moments, sure to make anyone roll their eyes

Well, Jack Black has done it again. A true master of characters, Black embodies Brother Ignacio, a Mexican friar at an orphanage and monastery, who moonlights as Nacho Libre, an amateur wrestler in the hit comedy Nacho Libre. Of course, wrestling ...

Pros: Hess' direction; Jack Black; silly humor; bizarre, yet natural casting; location; Christ!
Cons: Pacing in the middle; silly humor NOT for everyone; cartoonish violence not for kiddies

These days, I am not the biggest fan of comedy movies. Comedy movies now either derive their humor from sexuality or vulgar language – if a movie has to pander to an audience by using swear words or sex to be funny, then, at its core, it is not a ...

Pros: The sometimes sweet moments in the film.
Cons: The actors lack chemistry and the film just isn't funny.

There are a few films that you must be a fan of the leading actor or actress in order to really enjoy the movie. For example, you must be a fan of Jet Li to enjoy The One. You must be a hardcore Adam Sandler fan to not roll your eyes in The Waterboy. You ...

Pros: Stars Jack Black, some funny parts
Cons: Seemed more serious than funny and even really sad in some parts

I wanted to see this movie, Nacho Libre, because Jack Black is in it and I think he’s cool. Plus the movie had the added bonus of being a comedy and who couldn’t use a little funny in their life? I am sorry to say that I was disappointed in Nacho Libre. ...

Pros: Ana de la Reguera has nice eyes
Cons: No humor, unclear plot, atrocious acting.

Wow. You want to talk about bad. So Jack Black is a wrestler. No, actually he is a friar, with a fake Mexican accent, speaking Spanish in Mexico with a genuine English accent. Not sure why we are speaking Spanish, now English, now Spanish again. But ...

Pros: seems to be a little more naturally funny than most comedies, acting not bad
Cons: not overly funny, have to be a fan of slapstick

Ignacio, “Nacho” (Jack Black), is a demure friar who cooks for the children in the orphanage where he lives. We use the term “cook” very loosely here as much of what he produces looks like something that came out of the south end of a northbound cow…and ...

Pros: Positive message, funny
Cons: A bit crude in spots

Rated: PGSuitability for families: Crude humor and slap-stick violence. Humorous portrayal of monastery life; I did not perceive an intention to be disrespectful, but some might not appreciate it. Positive message.Length: 92 ...

Pros: Quirky humor. Great physical comedy. Priceless facial expressions.
Cons: Silly, (yet endearing) humor, but it may not be the style that works for you.

I admit it, Jack Black makes me laugh. But, you don't have to be a teenager to enjoy this particular Jack Black movie. Still, we all know that a great comic actor doesn't always equal a great comic film. Because of this, and the movie trailers, I ...

Pros: Funny movie, who doesn't like luchadors?
Cons: Too much Jack Black, not enough Hector Jimenez.

Brother Ignacio (Black), an orphan-turned-monastery cook has big dreams of becoming a luchador. Unfortunately, the order considers it sinful, so Ignacio hides his identity and becomes Nacho. He and his partner, Esquelito (Jimenez) jump into the Mexican ...

Pros: Jack Black, Hector Jimenez
Cons: Ana de la Reguera's low and shy voice acting

=Genre= Comedy =Plot= Ignacio is a cook at a monastery who cooks for the orphans who live there but he hates the fact that no one likes his food because he can't afford any quality food and all he has to serve to them is nacho chips and gruel. So ...

Pros: An ok movie, with some wel thought out humour.
Cons: Some weak scenes that need better quality scene in thier place.

Jack Black movies I have found are just above average movies, and this only eeks through as an above average movie in my opinion.Jack Black plays a monk who has always dreamnt of becoming a top Mexican wrestler, called a luchador. He ...

Pros: No crude anything
Cons: it's stupid and that's what makes it funny

For many people, it's hard to go watch a movie with your family with kids of all ages.  You have to pick one without to much violence, little or no sex, and hope that there is no swearing. I've heard my parents say numerous times that there ...
