Gotta love Jack Black

Rating: 5/10 (15 July 2006)

While this movie isn't great you have to love the way Jack Black attacks a role.He goes full tilt all the way all the time.
Black plays a friar in Mexico who leads a double life as a masked wrestler.He dreams of the big time but he and his skinny tag team partner just can't seem to find the key to winning.
The film has some funny moments but they add up to scattered laughs here and there instead of a great solid laugh filled comedy.
The film is by the makers of "Napolean Dynamite" and it suffers from trying to be too much like "Napolean Dynamite",with its sparse dialogue and funky settings and weird mannerisms of the characters.I think if this film had been just a bit more it's own picture and not a copycat it would have been a better picture.
All the actors are good and the picture keeps you interested but it isn't great, just good.The only thing great in this film is Jack Black's non-stop energy.And that in itself is reason enough to see this film.
