Say Adios to Naco Libre

Rating: 4/10 (19 June 2006)

I classify myself as a Jack Black fan and normally anything he appears in can be fun and a little out there from the standard, formula humor. As the old one-liner says, "Ya pays your money and ya takes your chances." Jack is a great comedic actor and his timing is up there with the best but with this bit of fluff he doesn't even come close to making me smile much less laugh. Being a resident of South Texas and an Angelo I found myself slipping lower and lower in my seat when Jack tried that sudo-Mexican accent. I'm not Catholic, but hitting on a nun can't be a good thing. Finally, the story wasn't funny. I kept finding myself reflecting back to other great comedies like Ishtar and Glitter. Jack will make other great films, this was not one of them. If someone invites you to attend this piece of feldacarb say audios and run for the border as fast as you can.
