Hilarious!

Rating: 7/10 (21 August 2006)

This movie was a pure joy to watch. I am still laughing at many of the parts while writing this. I get tired of mentioning Napoleon Dynamite when talking about Nacho Libre, but you kind of have to due to the pacing styles. Both movies have quite predictable and basic overall plot lines if you really think about it, but it is the way they use the most original characters and dialog to bring about the outcome that makes these movies standout. They are really in a class of their own and cannot be compared to mainstream comedies.
If you watch this movie expecting the movie to keep you engrossed without much effort on your part, you will be let down. Although that sounds like a demeaning statement about movie, trust me it is not. Much like Napoleon Dynamite, the move paces slowly and uses many plain looking people to deliver monotone dialog in random and extremely hilarious ways.
I can't speak for other people as every person is different, but the people I saw it with and I (as well as the theater crowd) were laughing while in the theater and while walking out of the theater. It was one of those experiences where everyone is sharing their favorite parts and it just keeps going on for 10 minutes. Maybe your experience will be different, but as for me I found unconventional originality and hilarity throughout Nacho Libre.
