It is what it is

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2007)

Having grown up in Central Mexico during the 70's, the thing I found most amazing about this movie is how it captured the FLAVOR of Mexico during those years. I'm no fan of Jack Black and I refused to see the movie because I thought he was miscast as a Mexican and it would be a mean movie. It was rainy Sunday and I relented and took the kids to the $1 movies to see Nacho Libre. I was pleasantly surprised. I recommend this movie highly, especially for children. It also allowed my children to see a glimpse of my childhood experiences, not the orphanages, but of going to see Lucha Libre (Wrestling)- back when professional wrestling was real, not the fake stuff they have now.
