nacho libre ( 2006 ) direct by represent jar hess star represent jack black and ana de la reguera and héctor jiménez and and darius rise mpaa rating represent pg 13 ( for some rough action and and crude humor include dialog ) say what you will about it ( i know some people who despise it to no end ) and but i have always think that napoleon dynamite be a funny movie not the bright brick on the wall and but a funny movie and nonetheless . jack black be also a very funny man irritating at time and yes and and massively overrate by adolescent audience who practically worship him and but funny . there have rarely be a jack black comedy that i do not enjoy to some degree . so and i be very happy to hear that jared hess and the writer and director of napoleon dynamite and and jack black would be team up for a movie about a spanish friar who become a wrestler to save an orphanage . my only reservation be that the plot seem a little too thin . unfortunately and my one reservation turn out to be downfall of the entire movie . this plot and have it be do a a skit on some such show a saturday night live or possibly even mad tv and would have work flawlessly . unfortunately and the plot run far too thin over the approximate one and a half hour runtime and this one joke comedy fall flat . nacho be raise in a mexican monastery and become a devout man of the lord . feeling shun by the entire monastery and nacho ( black ) and now the monastery cook and decides to follow his dream to become a professional wrestler . a the monastery finance hit an all time low and nacho decides to join a wresting tournament so that he can win the prize money and provide good food for the monastery orphanage . this plot sound so sweet and care . it seem like the perfect movie for jack black . look what he do with school of rock after all . well and to my displeasure and this plot be almost completely ruin by offensive and gross humor that just take away from the heart of the movie . it be again hollywood way of show that they feel that teen audience will only understand fart joke and stupid humor of course and for all i know and maybe that be the general thought of teenager and a many seem to enjoy this movie . watch an obese woman scurry like a mouse across the floor will certainly make people laugh and but do not expect to get an award for put it in your movie . a seven year old could make up the same joke . the performance in nacho libre be actually good . jack black prove once again that he be absolutely hilarious and that he can make even the most idiotic and worthless line in ever put on paper comical . unfortunately and this movie just wasn not enough for him . it do not give him anything to go on and the only reason any of his joke work be because of him . i have never see or hear of ana de la reguera before and but now i can say that and not only be she quite talented and but she be also one of the most beautiful woman to have ever grace my eyesight . she just click in the role and it work wonderfully well . héctor jiménez and who play nacho bumbling partner and esqueleto and keep me laugh continuously . he do a very nice job and it be very effective when partner with that of jack black . darius rise and who play an orphan name chancho and do not have many line and but and what can i say and i just enjoy him . he be adorable . the rest of the cast do their job . it be unfortunate that they be waste on such a sub par movie . nacho libre just do not work . it plot be stretch far too thin . the heart of it all be soil by moronic humor and sicken joke that just do not work . i very rarely laugh and and if i do and it be because of jack black or another member of the cast . and that lead me to the bright side of nacho libre represent yes and the cast . this cast be just well and for lack of a good word and they be on . they all click and have excellent chemistry together and and pump a much life a possible into the flat script . after jared hess napoleon dynamite keep me thoroughly entertain for the entirety of the movie and i be surprise to find myself so often bore with nacho libre . something be lose here and i have yet to understand what it be . all i know be that nacho libre be not a good movie and yet and because of it cast and it be completely worthless . there be a small reason to watch and if only to watch jack black work . but and if you be not a fan of jack black and then avoid this movie like the plague . i like black and but i be do with this movie and with this review . final thought represent yikes . this be jared hess surprisingly disappointing follow up to his hysterical napoleon dynamite . overall rating represent 4/10 ( c plus ) .
