Movie Review

Grade: B- In Jared Hess's follow-up to his highly successful debut "Napoleon Dynamite," Jack Black stars as Nacho the priest, who, to save his orphaned children from starvation, becomes a luchador... a wrestler. Those who enjoyed the comedic style of "Dynamite" will enjoy "Nacho Libre," and those who didn't won't. Read the full movie review

This is comedy, by JayMike

This movie had me laughing from the start. I think Jack Black is a comedic genius. His accent was definitely bad on purpose which denotes hilarity. The freaking bike/scooter thing was funny too. This movie is a must see for Jack Black fans. And Chris, you probably thought it was stupid because somebody told you that the guy who made Napoleon Dynamite made Nacho Libre. So you thought it was going to be another N.D. That's why I don't listen to critics. I just watch the movies and form my own opinion.
