Nacho Libre:The Doc's Review

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2006)

Nacho Libre is a film that is easily forgettable.It is rather slow and boring at times but not to the point that it becomes a bad movie.The film is funny in parts and gets a few laughs but isn't as slapstick as you'd think.The humour is very King Of The Hill/Home Movies style.It is very subtle and very monotoned at times.Nacho Libre succeeds i think because of Jack Black who is in my opinion the next Jim Carrey.Jack is goofy and delivers his lines with great facial expressions.The movie however is at times very dry mostly when he is training or buying groceries.In the wrestling scenes it is very difficult not to laugh at the girlish screams throughout and the crazy in ring antics.The actual wrestling scenes were probably the best of the whole movie aside from a few good scenes in the church.Unfortunately you will get tired of the film about 3/4 through.Nacho Libre is funny in parts,dry in some but overall a good way to blow off a boring day.
