Jack Black Saves Movie

Rating: 7/10 (22 January 2019)

2 September 2006. Jack Black's talented satire of this great wrestling genre saves what otherwise would have been a boring and mundane movie. This predictable comedy has Jack Black's ability to achieve comic humor in the many forms, from great body language mimic the Mexican brand of movie making to the one-liners. His timing and energy push this movie forward with interest. However, even with this comic talent, the movie plods along in places and is unable to rise above the script's typical elements, except for Black's new and refreshing presence on the screen. The relationship between Black and the nun is quite entertaining and tasteful while several violent shots appears to be excessive and distract from the movie. Seven out of Ten Stars.
