productosbiskvit I'm Mexican, grew up with seventies Mexican films and let me tell you folks this is a tribute to those crazy, silly and funny luchador movies. Even they paid a tribute to new Mexican film era. Visually, acting and culturally accuracy is all over, and Jack Black and folks did it's part. Finally Hollywood understood that Mexico ia not bullfights and zorro styled landscape.

KissEnglishPasto ...........................................................from Pasto,Colombia...Via: L.A. CA., CALI, COLOMBIA...and ORLANDO, FL Nacho Libre barely had 10 million(US) at its disposal to cover the cost of its production. With the exception of Jack Black(School of Rock, King Kong), there really is no cast member who is well-known outside of the USA. In the Hispanic world, Ana de la Reguera is known for numerous appearances in soap operas and movies, but for the English-speaking audience, she is a complete unknown…. at least until the release of Nacho Libre.Directed and written by Jared Hess(Napoleon Dynamite) a director who has gained a well-earned reputation for going against all the Hollywood rules of "Formula". To enjoy the schizophrenic world of Nacho Libre, however, you don't have to be to be a genius. It is a uniquely original and zany vision that no one could possibly confuse with reality. However, it is the kind of film that does not frame itself very well in high expectations. It is somewhat counterproductive to announce beforehand, "Oh, now here we have a very amusing and hilarious movie". (Despite the fact that for my wife, Carmen and I, "LIBRE" most certainly was both!) Perhaps the main attraction here is a surreal simplicity, innocence and freshness, and that its basic raison d'etre is so utterly hair-brained and absurd...but in the best possible way! Shouldn't go into much more detail here, so as not to ruin it for you with anything resembling a Spoiler. But taking this into account, I will dare to offer the following observations: Another interesting element of LIBRE is that, seemingly, it was made tailored to seek out a new market in the United States...The bilingual movie buff! (at least "new" in relation to film production.) Jack Black is listed as the sole producer. That is, he put up his own money betting there would be a receptive bilingual viewing audience segment! .It must be noted, however, that there are a number of attempts at humor that flat out do not work in LIBRE. But these flubs, fortunately, are handily outnumbered by scenes that DO produce considerable laughter. The sight of Nacho Libre and his tag-teammate "Esqueleto" ("Skeleton") wrestling and taking on the world is about as close as I ever want to come to dying of laughter! The love songs composed and sung by Jack Black are so slapstick operatic exaggerated, so insanely ridiculous and so poorly rendered, that they end up being immensely entertaining.Most certainly, Nacho Libre is not a classic of the Seventh Art that will be much debated ten years in the future. But it definitely will keep you laughing a lot during an hour and a half of your life! 8*....ENJOY/DISFRUTELA!!!

Davis P Nacho Libre is a very stupid, unnecessary, gross mediocre comedy. Jack black was sickening and very unfunny as the lead, and most of the time was shirtless and sweaty, which was gross. His sidekick, whatever his name is, just yelled and screamed the whole time, which wasn't funny at all, just really annoying. In fact, if I had to describe this movie in 1 word, that's what it'd be, annoying! The slapstick was annoying, and every character was as well! The only character I liked, was the love interest for jack blacks character, she wasn't annoying, and it's amazing, I never laughed once, not once! I just rolled my eyes a whole lot instead. Sorry Jack, just didn't impress me at ALL! 2/10 for Nacho Libre

Evan Wessman (CinematicInceptions) Of the four movies I have seen Jack Black in, I find this to be his best performance. The role was definitely written for him and you can see some parallels like his situation with Encarnancion in the storyline to those of School of Rock and Guliver's Travels. His humor is more varied in this than in School of Rock. I could do without the wrestling, though some might find humor and entertainment in it. I like the sidekick of Eskeleto and Ignacio's orphan friend Chancho. The lines of this movie, and especially their delivery, I think make it as good as it is. Other areas of humor that I find good are things like the progression of the food Ignacio serves and the party for Ramses that he goes to and the eagle egg scene. Its something that's good to watch with a big group of people, but I don't think it would top many people's lists. It isn't very similar to the aforementioned Black pictures, so it isn't worth seeing just for the actor. But if you like quotable movies, you'll enjoy this. It's kind of an underdog story, but not in an annoying way like lots of sports movies. The character of Ignacio is pretty good, because he's kind of caught in life that he's not cut out for. It really proves that not many people are meant for religious life and that religious people can be far from perfect. One of the best aspects of the movie is the little background song that they use. To poke holes in it, I might say that it was a poor portrayal of Mexican society, not that I really know anything about it. Its not exactly done crudely, but you can tell that the producers had a rather low budget to work with from the weird choreography of the wrestling scenes. I think it was done well enough, so the only reason that someone might not like this movie is if they prefer a different type of humor, or if you're like me and find the wrestling somewhat distasteful. So, for an overall rating, 8.2/10.
