To be honest, I thought it was kinda stupid

Rating: 3/10 (24 October 2006)

I wasn't at all interested in seeing Nacho Libre when I first saw the trailer, but after looking at IMDb, it seemed like a decent rental. I'm also a fan of Jack Black, he's usually a good hit with movies, especially comedies, excluding Envy, I mean what the heck was with that? Anyways, Nacho Libre is a story of hits and misses that just didn't flow that well.
It's about a priest who falls for a nun, but he doesn't have any money, so he grabs a bum off the street and they team up as Mexican tag team wrestlers known as "Nacho Libre". There is one problem, they suck! They can't win a single match, but since they are so popular with the crowds, they are paid anyways and get more shows. But when the priest's partner turns out to be a total... you know what, he goes out on his own to win against the Mexican wrestling champion!
There are a few problems I have with this film, like the partner. I don't know if he was supposed to be loved eventually, but I found him to be so ignorant and rude that I just refused to get into him. The fart jokes were just too much, it's one thing when it's for one scene, but it just kept going and spoiled the joke. Not to mention, I hate saying this, believe me, but this was also too stereotypical and very offensive in my opinion. But I think this is one of those movies you'll have to judge for yourself.
3/10
