Genuinely Good Movie

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2006)

Nacho Libre is a very different movie from the usual garbage Hollywood is pouring out these days. The music, the actors, and the setting are all fresh and new. If you grind the movie down to it's bones, yes, it is basically following the routine movie formulas, but with a very different flavor.
To like this film, there are 2 prerequisites: 1) You have to like Jack Black and his goofy humor (of course, if you don't like him, why are you watching this film in the first place?) 2) You have to like the peculiar "Napolean Dynamite"-style humor.
Enjoy.
