Majorthebys Charming and brutal

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

sladethebidoof This movie is one of my all-time favorites and let me just say that it is SEVERELY underrated. It may not be anything too special, but this movie is incredibly fun to watch. It's funny, it's quotable, and to some it may even be inspiring. This movie would not be what it is if anyone played the lead other than Jack Black. He's one of my favorite comedians, and he's no worse in this movie than he was in School of Rock or Jumanji. Yes, he has a cheesy accent, and maybe the whole movie has a cheesy tone to it, but it's important to realize that this is a comedy movie. And from the standpoint of "I just want to watch a funny movie that's enjoyable and will make me laugh," it accomplishes this very well. That's not to say this movie doesn't have flaws, but that's not why I'm typing this. It's a fantastic movie with a great ending, and despite what that 5/10 average score says, I love this picture to death. Watch the movie yourself. It's freaking amazing.

gmonaco-39246 I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard while watching a movie. The first and only time I saw this movie was in the theatre when it came out and at the time I loved it, but I was 16 at the time so I wasn't expecting to like it as much as the first time I saw it. To my delightful surprise, I believe I may have loved it even more this time around. The comedies that have come out these past 10 years have been complete and utter crap. None of them have been funny. None of them have been clever. And none of them made me laugh out loud the entire time like this movie did. A lot of the credit must go to Jack Black. His comedic talent was on complete display here. His physical comedy has never been more prevalent or impressive. He has proved himself with this movie that he certainly could have been amongst the great silent movie actors back in the day. His facial expressions are hysterical and his movements are manic in the best way possible. The director, Jared Hess, did an outstanding job letting us see all of the amazing action on screen with limited cuts, which is such a breath of fresh air nowadays. The tone of the movie reminded me so much of director Jody Hill's movies as well as his show Eastbound and Down, in the way that we are following a character who has a very limited amount of talent but he believes so whole heartedly that he can do the impossible. The music and the cinematography enhances this similarity as well, and it works gangbusters. I believe this very well may be Jack Black's finest comedic performance and it's the one I will most remember him for. So happy this movie exists.

Python Hyena Nacho Libre (2006): Dir: Jared Hess / Cast: Jack Black, Hector Jimenez, Ana de la Reguera, Richard Montoya, Peter Stormare: Often funny take on wrestling as a monk who cooks terrible meals for orphans dreams of becoming a top Mexican wrestler. This is so to afford better food for the orphans under his care. Hilarious idea follows formula with awkward training and losing bouts until the predicted championship fight that hasn't the comic payoff that it should have. Nacho Libre and his partner were funnier when they were paid as losers. Directed by Jared Hess who had great success with the independent comedy Napoleon Dynamite. Here the budget is bigger but the screenplay isn't as effective as the simple delivery of the other film. Jack Black as Nacho is the strength of the film while Hector Jimenez plays a street bum who would become his partner and together they make a great losing combination. Why the film couldn't play out more on this level as oppose to creating winner, is beyond me. Ana de la Reguera is flat as a new teacher Nacho falls for. Her function is to do nothing more than be a conquest that is never convincing to begin with. Peter Stormare has done grittier roles of far more quality than this. He plays a character billed as Emperor and that is about it. Amusing view of wrestling and the adrenalin to be something more than the screenwriter seems to arise too. Score: 6 / 10

loridrys I think of myself as a liberal, open minded person...but the movies recently that my son wants to see with me have left me horribly depressed....the language they use, the terms towards women....all completely offensive, and not in the LEAST bit funny. (think- 21 Jump Street and the swearing....it really isn't that funny)I have been ready to give up on movies all together...then I came across this movie. The movie relies on actually having a story....the silliness of Jack Black, and actually treats women with respect. It was sweet, funny and not the least bit offensive. A cute story, that even a 12 year old boy can watch and admits, 'this is pretty good'. A good story line and FINALLY!!!! THANK YOU JACK BLACK, for a funny movie!
