Hilarious from start to finish

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2006)

Nacho Libre is one of those rare movies that had me laughing out loud for the entire movie. Jack Black is out his outrageous best. Each scene in Nacho is ridiculous and awkward in its own way, with keen originality and artistry. Even without the other characters and plot, Black could practically carry the movie on his own, simply with his unbelievable knack for expressions. Luckily there are a slew of hilarious, outlandish, freakish characters populating this movie who are intriguing in the way they so often defy the stereotypes one would usually attribute to them. My favorites were the midget Lion men.
I have no idea why it is rated so low. Maybe a lot of old or humorless people felt compelled to denigrate this Summer's best comedy because they don't understand it or are angry at being so old and left behind.
If you enjoyed Napolean Dynamite, you will certainly enjoy Nacho Libre.
If you hate orphans and/or have an IQ below 50 and/or are really old and humorless, you might not enjoy this movie, so keep away.
