Vulgar, at best...

Rating: 1/10 (29 August 2008)

I watched this film at a friendly get-together after we voted which of our various films we should watch. As the film began, I knew this was going to be bad news. However, I swallowed back politely, and endured this agony. (*Possible spoilers*) First off, this film slams and makes fun of the Catholic Church so much, it almost made me (a very devout Catholic) want to puke. Nacho is the worst and most exaggerated bad Catholic monk I have ever seen. From his whole destroying rosaries and various other religious objects to make his lucha costume, to his flirting *EWW* with the local nun. (Did the director even grasp that monks and nuns do not flirt, and remain celibate?) Why didn't they just make them "in training to be celibate religious people", then the relationship could have worked? Oh, but wait! I keep forgetting. That would have been the smart thing to do.
The rest of the film consists of forgettable farting and potty humor, which isn't even remotely funny. I don't know about you, but seeing Jack Black's beer gut and butt crack are not my idea of a good time. I swear, this film should not have as high a rating as it does. Maybe I'm a little biased because I'm Catholic. Who knows? But I can guarantee, even if I wasn't Catholic, I probably still would have hated this. 1/10. (I'd give a zero, but sadly that's not an option here.)
