Nacho Libre (1 Viewer)

[John Garcia]

It is probably a rental for me, but it does look funny. Jack Black is usually good for some laughs, just look at King Kong...

Napoleon Dynamite was good but this one just looks not to good in my opinion. Im not gonna pay to watch it theaters but might rent it when it comes out.

 

[Ricardo C]

Nacho Libre is actually inspired by a true story, believe it or not

 

[nickGreenwood]

My biggest issue with at least the trailer as I haven't seen the film yet, is that all the actor's appear to have watched Napoleon a little too many times and try to imitate Nap and crew. The more I see the trailer the less I want to see the movie. And I loved Napoleon.

I must admit I get a chuckle out of the scene where Jack is telling the nun about his "recreational" clothes.

"It is I, NAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!"

"WHO???"

That exchance in the trailer has me laughing out loud every time I see it. Can't wait to see this.

 

[Quentin]

My friends and I are already saying NAAACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! all the time. And, we also love the salad preparation with the crushed/blown chips.

This may be the comedy gold hit of the summer. I'm not a NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE fan either, but the guy has talent. Even more important - this is written by Mike White.

 

[BridgetJZ]

Mike White?? What has he done?? I'm not too familiar with the name.

Dude, WWE has a profile up for Ignacio on their Smackdown site - http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/nacho/

BRILLIANT!!

IMDB: Mike White

Actually, Danny Elfman scored Nacho Libre.

 

[Matt Stone]

I loved Napolean Dynamite, but have had a lukewarm reaction to the Nacho trailers. In general, I'm a huge Jack Black fan, but I dunno. I may wait for the DVD.

 

[Ray Chuang]

Interestingly, one of the potential issues about this movie is whether it denegrates Mexican culture. Hopefully, the producers/writers of Nacho Libre did carefully consult with people who knows about the Mexican wrestling scene of the 1950's and 1960's (when this type of wrestling was extremely popular in Mexico) and the movie will be as authentic as possible.

We saw it last night and we all loved it! Jack was hilarious as was his sidekick...there were a few slow spots, but overall it was a lot of fun with some very offbeat humor.

Not sure the general public will embrace it, but the 20-30 something crowd (full house) we saw it with loved it...laughed a lot actually.

I'd give it 4 out of 5 nachos.

Oh and we got some fun free stuff..


"Nachoooooooooooooooooo!"

 

[James@R]

Jack Black was on the Tonight Show last night, and he revealed that part of his inspiration for Nacho was Ricardo Montalban's performance in Wrath of Khan.

 

[TedT]

First of all, it's based on a true story.

Secondly, I believe that this type of wrestling is still VERY popular in Mexico, maybe more so now than ever.

Here come the reviews, which are all over the place- 52 at metacritic, 38 at RT (46 cream of the crop).

[Sam E. Torres]

the soundtrack is so good!...and it's not available ANYWHERE. this frustrates me greatly.

 

[Patrick Sun]

It wasn't the greatest movie, but I laughed nonetheless, both at Jack Black's performance as Nacho, and his tag team partner, Esqueleto (his expressions and body language also provided some good laughs). It's got some good underlying intentions, and plenty of heart. Will it be a cult favorite like Napolean Dynamite, getting funnier with repeated viewings, not sure, but it entertained me on a superficial level.

I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.

 

[Shawn_KE]

Thought it was a decent movie. Black was great, but the movie did drag a bit.

 

[JediFonger]

ain't it from same producer/writer of school of rock? any more reviews? i might catch this in 4 weeks if it ain't out of cinemas by then.
