Big hearted film

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2007)

This is a wonderful film filled with lovely characters. As a comparison I can only think of something like Napoleon Dynamite. If people don't like it - OK; but there is no spite nor hate nor exploitation here. Watch it with an open mind.
Jack Black's accent is dodgy; but he plays Nacho with real passion. I expected him to showboat his musical skills, but thankfully he stayed in character as someone with enormous ambition, a little too much pride, and modest ability. The movie is very funny - from fond smiles to real belly laughs. When analysed the plot's similar to but more plausible than any po-faced super hero film. And Sister Encarnacion - well, it would be too sinful to comment.
