Instead of feeling amused, I was just kind of confused

Rating: 2/10 (27 October 2006)

I have heard this movie compared to Napolean Dynamite, and the style of weird and dull humor was kind of similar. They definitely tried to rip off ND. One awkward main character with a weird, dull sidekick team up to accomplish a seemingly impossible goal, and get into strange dilemmas all along the way. But Napolean Dynamite did make me laugh, where Nacho Libre only made me chuckle once or twice. It was boring and at times just plain annoying, repulsive even.
I am a fan of Jack Black, but was very disappointed in this movie. It might have been funny as a skit ... I thought the previews looked kind of funny. But they had to fill up a lot of time to make it a movie, and it seems they just couldn't come up with anything good to use. A lot of it just awkwardly dragged on.
