Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

adonis98-743-186503 Nacho (Black) is a monastery cook, who spends his day feeding orphans and being overlooked by the monastery. When Sister Encarnación (Reguera) arrive at the monastery, Nacho realises that the only way to win her affection and to save the children, will be by competing as a Luchador wrestler. Nacho Libre is a wrestling spoof starring Jack Black and believe me it's pretty damn good, it's very funny and hysterical but also elevates from great perfomances from it's cast especially Black. It's not a film that needs to be taken serious i mean it's a fat monastery cook that tries to become a wrestler and goes against a 'Rey Mysterio' type of wrestler champion. It's definitely a great movie to be enjoyed. (10/10)

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.

pinbackwiggly Tried watching this movie and made it to the end, but it did nothing for me. I didn't laugh once, but I think I was supposed to. At some points, it felt like someone was trying to recreate some of the awesomeness from Napoleon Dynamite. Then I read that the same director was involved in both. Anyhow, the actors do a decent job, I just feel they had nothing to work with. This movie almost ran like a drama rather than a comedy, the story of a priest/monk or whatever that would do whatever he could for the children he looked after.

MazzingerZ This is a gem among too many movies trying to make comedy...those movies certainly deliver some good laughs but after you leave the movie theater the smile starts fading away and after a couple of days have past you barely remember you watched that movie...On the other hand, Nacho Libre delivers so many memorable moments! The humor is very Mexican which is ironic since some users complains about it being racist let me tell you that it was really enjoyed in Mexico because most of the people there "got it". American movies use stereotypes when it comes to Mexican that are not even accurate, like saying "Ole" or using a Flamenco hat(those are only used in Spain) or just putting actors that have Latino roots but their Spanish is far from Mexican Spanish (for ex. Benicio Del Toro)...it might not matter for US audience but the ones that know the difference between Mexican vs Central American or South American Spanish makes a big difference.Jared Hess uses real Mexican people and locations (Oaxaca, probably the poorest Mexican state but also one of the most beautiful), he seems to know Mexican culture well,the stuff they show is real Mexico the name of the kid is spot on, actually in Mexico everybody has a nickname and no one get offended, folks joke about their defects and no one gets hurt.The clothes, food, traditions and phrases spoken by Nacho are 100% grammatical correct so I would say that no American movie has ever being more respectful portraying Mexico that this movie...a movie about Mexico that actually feels Mexico. Mexico is a large country and has modern cities as well, but this was just the perfect place to tell the story of Nacho, it couldn't have taken place anywhere else. Mexican "Luchadores" in this movie remainds of real ones, one of them a legendary one but with a different color in the mask and I do not mean El Santo (which Jared was a fan as a kid) and the other remainds of a loyal companion but double as many although not as violent;-)Like I wrote, locations are beautiful so is the cinematography and the music, ohhh the music!This movie is for the whole family (although my kids got a little frighted by the "violence" on the ring since here is not common to see that kind of stuff), the innocence in Nacho is a pleasure to see, how good-hearted he is makes you happy, gives hope in a world full of so many ugly things. Friendship between him and his companion is fantastic. But don't misunderstand me, the humor is even more enjoyable for adults since only we get some of the jokes or see the craziness in them, humor is delivered in a way that makes it enjoyable for both young ones and adults.Secondary actors are fantastic as well!Kids learn more from this movie than watching some empty animated movie full of songs and about the same subject every time which somehow underestimates the capacity of analysis kids have. I rarely see movies twice, not year after year at least...I have only a bunch in that category: The Godfather I- II, Goodfellas, Once Upon a Time In The West, Dersu Uzala and a couple more...and yes: Nacho Libre.I laugh always so hard that my stomach hurts, the kid inside me enjoys this movie as much as my other part: the adult. I wish world leaders were more like Nacho, we all should be more like Nacho.
