Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Steven Rea (1,872) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 01 Sep 2010

Black's caped luchador grows on you. Like a fun guy…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Scott Foundas (913) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 25 Nov 2009

Like the abominable Napoleon Dynamite, director Jared Hess' second feature will doubtless capture the hearts and minds of 12-year-old boys…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By J.r. Jones (1,066) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 21 Nov 2009

Mike White contributed to the script, and though he shares with the Hesses an innocence that can be both sweet and slightly grotesque (e.g.,…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Aaron Hillis (362) for Premiere (771) on 16 Oct 2009

When he runs out of material to tickle with, Black dips into his musically tenacious deedle-diddle-dee for some sure-fire ridiculousness…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Fernando F. Croce (840) for CinePassion (694) on 29 Aug 2009

Makes you stare first in bemusement, then in boredom, finally in slight nausea…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 05 Jun 2009

Very broad and very silly, it's a doodle of a comedy -- a one-joke idea (fat guy goes luchador) padded out to feature length by Black's willingness…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Maitland Mcdonagh (2,150) for TV Guide Magazine (2,375) on 09 May 2009

It's a one-gag film that rises or falls on how funny you find the sight of fat, grease-slicked Jack Black crammed into spandex pants and capering…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Stephen Hunter (927) for Washington Post (9,851) on 27 Feb 2009

Is it funny? Now and then. Stupid? Very. Racist? Possibly. Ugly? Profoundly. Wild? Undeniably. Singular? Completely…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Film Threat (5,156) on 24 Feb 2009

As with Napoleon Dynamite, Hess' sense of humor is an acquired taste, where all the characters speak in peculiar cadences and are afflicted…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Rene Rodriguez (1,781) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 22 Sep 2008

The movie is a bauble, but it's an enjoyably weird and original one, and it is anchored by Black's constantly amusing performance…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 18 Jun 2008

An amiably clunky, unapologetically silly summer confection that nevertheless lands sufficient lethal slams to the funny bone…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 14 Jun 2008

How can any comedy with Jack Black as a Mexican wrestler not be gut-bustingly hilarious? Nacho Libre provides an all-too-convincing answer…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By David Denby (676) for The New Yorker (1,837) on 05 Jun 2008

There are many scenes of mock-lucha wrestling, which become as boring as actual wrestling…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Joe Leydon (915) for Variety (12,700) on 29 Mar 2008

Nacho Libre strikes a delicate balance of whimsy and absurdity that may surprise auds primed to expect wall-to-wall slapstick…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 11 Mar 2008

What is missing in plot and character development is made up for in silly fun…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Brandon Fibbs (448) for BrandonFibbs.com (287) on 28 Feb 2008

Nacho Libre merely provides some momentary pleasant diversions…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 03 Aug 2007

Too much in Nacho Libre doesn't work to enable me to recommend it to anyone except a card-carrying member of the Jack Black fan club…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Kam Williams (1,272) for DallasBlack.com (18) on 08 Apr 2007

Any production featuring Jack Black in spandex and showing off his belly full of stretch marks should never have made it off the drawing board…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 15 Mar 2007

Director Jared Hess' weapon of choice is his innocence…

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Michael A. Smith (689) for Nolan's Pop Culture Review (315) on 13 Dec 2006
