DVD Reviews of Nacho Libre (Special Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: HILARIOUS!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie gets funnier and funnier every time I watch it. Like The Life Aquatic, the movie is meant for a more sophisticated connoisseur of the humor in the human condition. It is the subtle details of the characters and their humor that make this movie shine. The music is fantastic and certainly adds, as it should, to the overall feel and pace of the movie. It is another indication of Mr. Blacks range. Those well traveled will recognize the subtle art of this movie imitating life. This movie is a gem.
DVD Review: Just Great on Every Level
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is great on every level. Jack Black shows he's a comedy genius. Witty, smart script. Just plain fun.DVD Review: Be afraid, be very afraid
Summary: 1 Stars
This has to be the worst movie I have seen in several years. Please do not see this movie. My brother even warned me he wasted 2 hours of his life on this movie, but I thought, I sometimes like stupid movies. But this movie is too stupid. It will provide a few chuckles, but overall you will be sorry you watched it. I turned it off after an hour. I couldn't see anyway it could redeem itself from there.DVD Review: One Of My Favoriots
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this movie alot! Napoleon Dynamite was hyped up alot as well, the best part of that movie was Uncle Rico I thought including the dance sequence. I never saw the movie ads for this movie but its definetly one of my favoriots. It is made by Nicolodeon (sorry I mistyped it) so I think it has kids more in mind so Jack Black is toned down a bit. I loved it I watch it all the time... If you dont buy it, atleast rent it first. :) DVD Review: One Great Comedy...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have heard that this movie is considered one of the 100 great comedies of all time. I agree! You get a great story about a Catholic priest in Mexico who decides to become a wrestler to help his church. It is a touching story and would be great for kids, and anyone who might be interested in Mexican culture, esp their idea of wrestling.
Description of Nacho Libre (Special Collector's Edition)
Jack Black is at his comic best as Ignacio a disrespected cook at a Mexican monastery that can barely afford to feed the orphans who live there. Inspired by a local wrestling hero he decides to moonlight as the not-so-famous Luchador "Nacho Libre" to earn money for the monastery -- not to mention the admiration of beautiful nun Sister Encarnacion.System Requirements:Running Time: 92 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?PG UPC:?097363456247 Manufacturer No:?345624This Jack Black vehicle seems, on the surface, like a perfect fit for the actor: an opportunity to showcase Black's unique style with the extreme facial gestures and exuberant physicality that have become his forte. Black plays Ignacio, a lowly cook in a monastery in central Mexico who feeds orphans by day, and wrestles in the town square at night. Ignacio teams up with Esqueleto (Hector Jimenez), a street urchin who tormented him, to form a tag-team duo that goes up against the strangest wrestlers Mexico has to offer. Besides doing it for money to feed the orphans, Ignacio is also fighting to win the forbidden affections of Sister Encarnacion (Ana de la Reguera) with predictable difficulty. While the movie has likeable characters and the plot is enjoyable enough, it can't overcome its plodding pace and formulaic structure enough to keep the movie interesting throughout. Jack Black is a very strong comedic actor, and the wrestling scenes offer plenty of chances for slapstick, physical comedy, but watching him run around in red briefs and blue tights amounts to half the laughs in the movie, and there's just not enough here for him to really work with. When he plays a more well-formed character, as in School of Rock and High Fidelity, his strengths really show. But in Nacho Libre he's saddled with a caricature. Weighed down by too much low-brow humor and a script that goes nowhere, Nacho Libre just can't make full enough use of Black's talents to overcome the obstacles. --Daniel Vancini
