Nacho Libre is good....really good!

If you liked Napolean Dynamite you will like this movie.

If you are a fan of wrestling in any way, you will enjoy this movie.

If you love Jack Black, even went so far as to see "Envy" in the theatres (ugh!), you will love this movie.

I have to view it again to digest all the funny stuff, but I will gladly spend the time to do so.

Highlights include: Jack's awful/wonderful Ricardo Mantulban impression, a surprise baptism scene, the wrestling scenes (including the "Royale Rumble" match), the music, the training sequence...much more.

This is shocking. Judging from the previews, I would have guessed it was a steamy pile of crap.

im pretty sure i was laughing the hardest out of anyone in the theatre

what got me the most was just how jack black said "Get that corn outta my face!"

and when he was soaring at the end.

i didnt come away from nacho libre the same way i came away from napolean Dynomite. probably because with Dynomite i came in with really really low expectations and with nacho libre i came in with really really high expectations.

what was the surprise baptism scene? i dont remember that one

I forgot about his sidekick's devotion to corn on the cob.

Its when he is having a conversation with Stephen about God versus Science and Steve's eating a salad in the locker room and Jack slams his face in a bowl of water.

"I hate orphans.....all of the orphans in the whole world!"

"sometimes.. you wear the stretchy pants."

I chuckled through it all.. but pretty much wasn't impressed.

Perhaps I should check it out again?

My stomache hurt afterwards. I had a constant grin and chuckle runnin' the entire time I was in the theatre. I'd say it is a succesful endeavor.

ATTN: If you saw this movie, answer one question...

Did you like Anchorman?

Loved Anchorman, and I finally saw the preview for Talladega Nights at the beginning of Nacho Libre. I cannot wait tfor that one, btw.

As a guy who's dad f'ing loves NASCAR I'm looking forward to it.

Many a Sunday was spent watching a race while my old man went on huge tirates about Jeff Gordan and how "anyone who's a fan of his must notice he's a wine and cheese guy".

Which is his PC way of saying Jeff Gordan is gay.

I hated Anchorman. Well...not hated, but I didn't like it one bit.

Talladega Nights has tons of potential. I can't wait.

I doubt you'll like it, it is essentially Anchorman + NASCAR = Tally Nights.

It looked more like an Old School + NASCAR combo to me. Over the top, yet semi-believable.

I just saw that the "French" driver is sponsored by Perrier drinking water, nice touch.
