A lifeless and unfunny Two Stooges

Rating: 3/10 (11 December 2006)

Ignacio (Jack Black) is a cook in a Mexican orphanage who , along with a common vagabond, chooses to moonlight as a Luchador in order to win money for said orphanage. He is constantly ridiculed by the monks, the only one to show compassion towards him being the beautiful Sister Encarnacion whom he has a secret crush on. The movie chooses the low-brow path which while not in itself a bad thing when done with originality and/ or flair. Sadly this film has neither and simply repeats the same two 'gags' over and over again with no style. Fans of Napoleon Dynamite or Jack Black might laugh a few (VERY few) times, but everyone else would be well advised to avoid this stinker.
