a heartwarming story with a little humor

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2006)

I went and saw Nacho Libre with some of my friends. And I was actually pleasantly surprised. Let me start off by saying if you saw Napoleon Dynamite forget about it, this is a different movie, with an actual plot. Now that we got that out of the way, to put it simple, this movie is a story of a man trying to make a change for him and his orphans, and win the love of the woman of his dreams. As we follow his story you may or may not laugh along the way, but your kids certainly will.
I guess so many people bad-mouthed this movie because they expected something more, or just because it's done by the same director of Napoleon Dynamite. But I look at it as nothing more than a good, clean family-oriented movie that's just a little out of the ordinary with beautifully painted settings characters.
So if you find yourself bored on a rainy day, and you can't take your kids outside and play, take'em out to see this movie, you won't regret it. It's rated PG but I can think of only 2 scenes that could possibly not be suitable, one involving fecal matter(just stupid, not absurd), and one with crazy midget wrestlers that may be a little scary for kids under 6 or 8. Enjoy!
