Jack Black is a funny man. Nacho Libre was profoundly unfunny. It did have it's moments: when the small fat boy gave Jack his mother's special machete, and Jack's off the turnbuckle to the outside flying finish. But those moments could not make up for how much this film missed the mark. This comedy played flat on me from start to finish. I hated Jack Black's pseudo accent, and his co-star Hector Jimenez was completely forgettable. Even jokes and situational gags about trying to confess one's feeling for a nun were off the mark and not particularly funny.
Ratings:
Real Luchadores: Skip it
Macho Man on a cloud up above: Skip it
Jack Black Enthusiasts: See it, Skip it...Whatever, if you are into him that much just pick a DVD at random from your collection.
Somber Priests: See it
Half Sleeping on the Couch because Football isn't on on a Sunday afternoon and Nacho Libre just happens to be on TV: Meh...no real need to change the channel, but if you're getting up
On a scale of Extra mild Pace to Habaneros, I give Nacho Libre 1.7 out of 5 stars.
