Not a Jack Black fan, but......

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2006)

He was dedicated to this role and the Napoleon Dynamite director (don't remember name, Hess?) utilized him beautifully. If you hadn't previously seen Jack Black in anything, I think one wouldd think he is Mexican. this movie was very similar to Napoleon. The freak with the bad teeth was great, a better sidekick than Pedro. There wasn't much of a plot, but was there one in Napoleon. That is the directors only downnfall because no matter how funny a movie is, there mnust be some structure and you can make more laughs through capitilaizing on conflict resoulution, climax etc. But the cinematography and camera angles were innovative just like Dynamite and this director really makes his protagonists such losers that you fall in love with them. I liked it for its creativity and awkwardness. Plus the part when he farts when he is getting ready to jump on the guy eating the chips is artistic potty humor (if there is such a thing.)
