'"Congratulations on your baptism...'"
This movie gave me the diarrheas till Easters. Gotta see the movie.
I absolutely loved this movie. It was really funny and it had it''s sad times. Definetely a solid 9/10
"I ate some bugs, I ate some grass. I use my hands to wipe my tears" Rewatched with Jack Black and director commentary. This movie is hilarious but it's of it's time. Nachooooo!
Nacho Libre is proof that anyone can achieve their dreams if they work hard enough... or have the heavenly father in their corner.

Not as fun as I expected it to be. 'Nacho Libre' does do some things well, Jack Black is good and the wrestling scenes are mostly nicely done. However, I didn't really dig the rest of it - whether it be the laughter lacking humour, or the uninteresting story with the orphanage. It is at least a relatively short flick, but it isn't one I'd be in a rush to rewatch.
Level '"Entertaining'" • 6 :heart: • You may or may not enjoy this.
I love me some Jack Black, but I''m afraid this just wasn''t my jam. It''s just not the kind of humor I connect with most, but I can see the appeal for others.
