Synopsis

Jack Black is at his comic best as Ignacio a disrespected cook at a Mexican monastery that can barely afford to feed the orphans who live there.

Frank Mackey
One of Jack Black's weakest movies
06 December 2008
Sadly Nacho Libre doesn't become that great, the whole idea could have been a nonstop laugh-machine but instead Nacho Libre finds a way of seeming ultimately boring. Off course any comedy featuring Jack Black creates some amusing moments in which most of them are inside the ring, as soon as we step out of the ring the movie seems unfocused and empty for ideas, disappointing. Nacho Libre doesn't try being morally correct or very family-friendly, and thats a fine relief because it lets Jack Black be Jack Black. The romance-scenes between Black and the new non-in-town is actually surprisingly charming, and Jack Black's companion in the ring is also a fine affair, leaving there no doubt that Jack Black tries making this movie more funny than it is. Nacho Libre could have become Black's finest installment to date, but it falls short and far behind his comedy-genius of School of Rock.
