Nacho Libre (2006)
Jack Black stars as Ignacio (friends call him Nacho), a Mexican priest who moonlights as a lucha libre wrestler to raise money for his orphanage.

It kind of seems like senseless...

There is really no need to go out and spend 8 or 9 dollars on a film that is a one joke premise played out for 90 minutes. Jack Black is an acquired taste, in the same way that AIDS is an acquired disease. I...

I figured this film would fall into one of two categories: brilliant or really, really stupid. I didn't expect much middle ground when it came to a follow-up effort from Team Dynamite.
Apparently I was wrong. NACHO LIBRE does indeed end up somewhere in the middle; short of "come get some ham, Tina", but well above the...

What the hell went wrong? What went so horribly and terribly wrong to make this into a tedious cinematic experience?
You have Jared Hess at the helm, he who made 'Napoleon Dynamite' (2004), and as the co-writer; you have Jack Black, he of the gloriously insane humour...and yet this movie just totally sucks.
The plot is...
