Jack Black is Nacho Libre
 

Some madcap zaniness from JB and Jared Hess.

This looks iffy. Maybe I'm just not in the mood but I didn't laugh a lot.

I'm sure there's a few laughs in there but I think I'll wait for rental.

Is this supposed to be a comedy? I didn't even crack a smile and I can't see how anyone would find it funny either.

This look really bad.

Of course it's a comedy. Someone got hit in the head and/or fell down. That's how you know.

It looks pretty bizarre in that innocent way. I like the santo films, and I loved Napoleon Dynamite so I am game.

I loved Napoleon Dynamite and im a fan of Jack Black so ill probably give this a shot.

Looks like the director of Napolean Dynamite is a one hit wonder.

Hopefully the film will be good an you'll eat your words like popcorn, Popcorn.

Mike White



anyone?

This reminds me of Young Einstein.

I'm a fan of Lucha Libre and the Santo movies so I'll give this movie a chance.

I like just about anything Mike White does, so I am definitely seeing this...the fact that Hess and Black are involved is just icing on the cake. The trailer is a bit bizarre, but hopefully it'll be good.

Hess :up:
Black :up:

I'm in.

I didn't like Napoleon Dynamite but this could be better. Still, sadly, from the trailer it looks like Hess's laborious sense of humor hasn't changed much. Hopefully Black will instill some much-needed anarchy into the proceedings. :)

hmm... funky! I'm a sucker for Jack Black, so might be worth a rent.

Jack Black is awesome! Computerman wouldn't be as hilarious as it is if he's not in it.

With the triple threat of Hess, Black, and White; what could go wrong? However, the trailer isn't that good....

Sadly, I'd probably take Napoleon Dynamite 2: Dance Harder over this.

This looks awesome! Anyone watch JB's video confessionals? The chest waxing was hilraious, man.

has jack black ever been funny?

i have to say after watching the trailer with M:I:3 this looks to be real funny.

Kind of amusing in Airborne. Other than that, not the tiniest bit.

If this starred someone else, I'd see it.

Thats exactly what I was thinking watching the trailer for this...

I think this will only attract the mexican crowd.

Color me excited.

I'm definitely looking forward to this. I thought the trailer was hilarious. Could this be the sleeper hit of the Summer?

I liked the toast part, and the one where he said "NACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", otherwise looks ok. I might netflix it or catch it on tv.

I couldn't stand Napoleon Dynamite, but this looks hilarious. The NACHOOOOOOOOOO cry and their training was great, and I trust Mike White to come through.

i guess im alone in this but i loved jack black in saving silverman, and he was pretty good in high fidelity (annoying, but funny nonetheless).
the trailers dont really do it for me, but i have faith
cominonyehah! :)

sorry, can't stand Jack Black (except for his performance in King Kong) and the trailer for this film is absolutely awful. The audience before MI3 was whisper quiet. Not a single guffaw.

I thought the trailer was funny. I like Jack Black (except for his King Kong performance) and I loved Napoleon Dynamite as well. The audience I was in for MI3 was hysterical with laughter.

Yeah, the trailer was pretty funny. I'll check this out.

Jack can be uber annoying but that trailer made me laugh so I may go see this.

I can't stop laughing at this trailer. To me, this looks like the funniest movie so far this year. (And I think Napoleon Dynamite is overrated).

He really nails the accent down in the trailer. I am in Houston so there is a very diverse demographic community here and the entire theater was laughing out loud. I look forward to it.

Love the butt-clench at the end.

This one is a must see for me:

-I love Jack Black.
-I love Napoleon Dynamite.
-I love Lucha Libre
-I love the trailer.

Even if this one gets horrible reviews and everyone else hates it, I just don't see how I wont flat out love it.

No kidding. The last theater I was in was Laughing their asses off when that part came up.

An older lady down a few rows from me today during a M:I 3 screening exclaimed "That guy is the John Candy of this era..". Personally, I took that as an insult.

She should have said Curly Joe of this era after his performance in KING KONG.

I saw it at CineVegas last night. As a devoted fan to Napoleon Dynamite, I was going in expecting to enjoy this film. How could Jared Hess, Mike White, and Jack Black let me down? Seriously.

However, as I witnessed, Nacho Libre is a piece of shit and I was upset that I wasted 90 minutes of my life whereas I could've been at TAO getting smashed with Dennis Hopper.

Where Napoleon Dynamite worked as the plot was merely a string of jokes and sight gags, Nacho Libre has too much plot and not enough jokes. The downfall of that is, whenever a joke or a sight gag appears, it's never funny. The major problem with the comedy in the film is that it's not funny. Instead of going for the more absurdist or surreal humor from Hess' freshman effort, Hess and company head directly for bathroom humor. After the thirteenth person farts or rubs shit all over themselves, you're just wondering why someone could find this shit funny (no pun intended).

I liked Hess' first effort, but count me out for a third unless it's Napoleon Dynamite 2.
