Clean, Quirky Comedy

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2011)

Nacho Libre is one of those movies that is funnier every time you watch it. In general, comedies these days are hilarious the first time...but downright lame the second time. This is not so for Nacho Libre. Mostly, I believe this is true because Nacho does not involve a whole lot of surprise humor. It rarely throws a joke or a circumstance at you when you are not expecting it. Instead, it focuses on facial expressions, goofy one-liners, and slapstick blunders.
In my opinion, the wrestling action is not very intense, and is usually quite comical in nature. Beware, however! Some of the moves could be dangerous if attempted by inexperienced children!
Finally, most people don't give this film a chance because its pace is too slow and it does not include modern humor. But I'm here to tell you that if you can simply sit back, relax, and take Nacho for what it is, you will not be disappointed.
