Nacho Libre

Jack Black is one of the funniest guys around today. Everything he does is a guaranteed laugh, or at least a giggle or guffaw. Maybe I like the guy a little too much, but look at this picture:


See? Funny. When I first heard about Nacho Libre, it sounded like a sure thing: Jack Black and Mexican wrestlers? This can't fail!

We went to see Nacho Libre, and was it funny? Yep, sure was. Was it a good movie? Well, I think it will be a good movie for the people who like Jack Black, Luchador wrestling, or enjoy Napolean Dynamite-style weirdness. If not, then this maybe you should go see The Lake House. Or Cars. You know, something that everyone will enjoy.

There isn't much of a story in this movie, and very little character development. However, the point of this movie was to let Jack Black do his thing: he gets to take his shirt off, he gets to sing and he gets to fart (this movie was produced by Nickelodean, so that's as far as it goes kids). All in all, not a great movie, but a worthy addition to the Jack Black film library.

Fly! Fly like the eagle!
