Review of Nacho Libre DVD by Olly_Plimsoll

Advantages: Hilarious, Jack Black under control
Disadvantages: Incredibly silly, naturally

...again and Orange County. Nacho Libre will definitely be remembered in the first bunch. Black's Mexican accent is horrendous, but his childlike, vulnerable character is note-perfect otherwise. Ignacio is an innocent with a simple dream, a man who takes his responsibilities to the orphaned children ridiculously seriously but whose eyes frequently betray utter disatisfaction with his lot in life. The pastoral scenes of life at the orphanage also contrast ...
...The gallery of grotesques that Nacho and Squeletto encounter as they struggle towards the big time are a particular highlight of the film. Whether they're genuine wrestlers or the result of the costume designer smoking some particularly potent crack, I have no idea, but they are brilliant, from the midget monsters up to the imposing lipstick daubed colossus Rameses. One of my favourite aspects of the film is the way in which the two heroes at no ... Read review

He's Nacho Ordinary Hero
Review of Nacho Libre DVD by l-m-n-o-p

Advantages: Jack Black is great as always; it's just a relaxed, funny comedy
Disadvantages: Too many fart jokes, not much plot

Nacho Libre is the second film from director Jared Hess; his first, Napoleon Dynamite, was a strange indie comedy which became a huge cult classic. This film stars Jack Black (previously seen in School of Rock, King Kong, and the rock band Tenacious D) as the Nacho in question, and a supporting cast of relative unknowns. Jack Black plays Ignacio, a monk in a Mexican monastery/orphanage. He enjoys looking after the young children, but his cooking ...
...he becomes his alter ego, Nacho (which I think is short for the name Ignacio, in case you were wondering); complete with stretch trousers, red pants, a cape and mask. Needless to say, the pair are, at first, pretty bad, even after some extreme training in the wilderness. They're getting paid fairly handsomely just for losing, but they want to win, and even turn professional - so they sneak into a party held by the number one luchador (wrestler), ... Read review

Nachooooooooooo!!!
Review of Nacho Libre DVD by afy9mab

Advantages: Laugh-out-loud funny slapstick shenanigans
Disadvantages: You'll hate it if you're looking for a story or highbrow comedy

...chuckle. So when you see Nacho speeding along on his motor-trike gazing around, you know he's going to go flying over a cliff and he does. Though the comedy may be broad and the characters exaggerated, Hess still has clear affection for them, which means you root for Nacho and his wrestling partner throughout. Hess revels in the ludicrousness of the world of Lucha Libre in all its tights and mask-wearing glory. Nacho and Esqueleto's opponents are ...
...realise that. Why else would Nacho and Esqueleto spend their time catapulting melons at each other and having bee hives thrown at them? There are all manner of odd touches that bring up the strange count in the movie, from the corn cob lollies beloved of Nacho's partner, the way Nacho first entices him out of hiding, to the bizarre costumes (check out the ecclesiastical jumpsuit at the end) and the real determination to fulfil tiny ambitions. Then ... Read review

Wrestling with nuns
Review of Nacho Libre DVD by Ailran

Advantages: Jack Black in the wrestling scenes
Disadvantages: Story, plot, characters..everything really!

...the orphanage to teach and Nacho now has another distraction in his once small and isolated little world. How will he cope with his normal jobs, hiding his training from the other monks, the actual training and the way he feels about the Sister. It is hard to imagine exactly what audience Nacho Libre is aimed at, it is not as outrageously over the top as previous Jack Black films, or as non pc as such fare as Old School, Anchorman etc. Its audience ...
...a much better script than Nacho Libre had to be the complete focus of a film. Jack Black is a fine comedic talent, no doubt about it, but Nacho Libre doesn't have the belly laughs you expect from a Jack Black movie. It is amusing, that is true, but amusing doesn't really cut it for me. What Nacho Libre reminds me of is the early films Jack Black made where he stole the scenes his character was in but he was only a support character. The supporting ... Read review

Nacho Nacho man. I want to be a Nacho man
Review of Nacho Libre DVD by Phelthew

Advantages: Little round fat kid
Disadvantages: Unexciting, slow, sedated

Jack Black can't be boring? Can he? Why is Jack Balck boring in this film mummy? Just a few questions you'll be asking yourself during this film. So the idea is Jack is a monk who is also a wrestler who fancies a nun. He asses about in a sedated manner wrestling flirting and making sedated follies. That's right the film is sedated it has some funny moments. I mean it has a little obese kid in it strugling to keep up with the other kids (In my view ...
...crap) I watched this with my two younger brothers. One walked out and went and watched something else to make sure time hadn't suddenly slowed down (Antique roadshow probably) the other stuck it out but was dissapointed at the end. There are no real lol moments and it is not what a Jack Black fan would expect at all. There's just something very slow about the film. It seems to have purposely left big gaps so they could play the same song over and ... Read review

Review: Director Jared Hess employs an offbeat aesthetic in keeping with his previous offering... Black's infectious, slapstick energy is also a great asset (Sight & Sound, 20/09/2006)

Director Jared Hess employs an offbeat aesthetic in keeping with his previous offering... Black's infectious, slapstick energy is also a great asset (Sight and Sound, 09/20/2006)

There's sweetness in the slapstick, while the director mines his missionary past to present a Mexico as eccentric and off-beat as the small-town America lovingly mocked in his first film (Total Film, 20/09/2006)

DVD Description

Celebrating the triumphs and tribulations of the lovable loser is no easy thing, but filmmaker Jared Hess seems to thrive in this specific cinematic exercise. Working fresh off the success of NAPOLEON DYNAMITE, Hess finds a similarly endearing hero-without-a-clue in Ignacio, played by Jack Black (HIGH FIDELITY, KING KONG), the title character in NACHO LIBRE. Ignacio, growing up in a poor monastery in Mexico, has dreamed of being a professional wrestler since childhood. This obsession has led him to a thankless adult existence as monastery whipping-boy and chef, serving stale, day-old nacho chips to finicky orphans. In an effort to earn the respect of new nun-hottie Sister Encarnacion (Ana De La Reguera) and escape the monastery into the greedy excess of pro wrestling, Ignacio enters a local amateur competition. Along the way, he picks up the notably scrawny yet tough street urchin Esqueleto (Hector Jimenez) as his tag-team partner. The duo hilariously loses badly and repeatedly to all manner of local wrestling oddities. It is only when Ignacio recognizes a higher goal than money and glory that he can truly compete with his professional idols, including the dreaded and evil champion Ramses. Co-written with Hess's writing partner and wife, Jerusha, and noted screenwriter Mike White (CHUCK & BUCK, THE GOOD GIRL), NACHO LIBRE is stocked with real-life wrestlers doing their thing. Jack Black's over-the-top physical humor blends in perfectly with repeated viewings of his "stretchie pants" and timely flatulence. In concert, the elements fuse to distill a comedy that should appeal to all ages eager to be pinned down in a full-nelson by laughter.
