Jack Black playing... Jack Black.

Rating: 3/10 (16 June 2006)

The only people who would want to see this are die-hard Jack Black fans. For everyone else, I would not recommend this movie.
It's Jack Black playing the same character he plays in all of his movies, but this time he's added a bad Mexican accent to it. A lot of bad stereotypes, from all of the tricks brought in to bring in a cheap laugh to anything you can imagine being used to degrade an ethnic group. Granted, it did have its funny moments, but otherwise was painful to watch as the plot and humour felt very forced.
You are meant to feel sympathetic for Jack's character, a Mexican friar, especially given how close he is to the orphans who live there, but that felt especially forced.
The only good thing out of it was Héctor Jiménez's character Esqueleto, who was funny and almost endearing, and you couldn't help caring more about the sidekick than the hero in this story. If you like potty jokes, crude humour, and silly wrestling stunts, this is for you, but I would advise you to skip it.
