Review of Nacho Libre (2006) by Billys. — 18 Jun 2006
Nacho Libre is a good natured family film thats got some fuuny bits but by the response of the thirty 13 year olds in the crowd it was Hilarious, there in lies the problem. Jared Hess tries to capture all the things that made Napolean the hit it was by using that same subdued humor, the"feel sorry for me" charasters, even the look of a shoestring budget indie film but he holds the reins on Jack Black so he's merely Father Napolean.
It works if that's what you're going to see, but I can't stop hoping Black will finally make a movie that's not so family-friendly and he'll let out that John Belushi in him in something I can't take the kids to see.
The song "A really religious person" and the one he sings about the nun offer a hint of what i'm talking about.
