Nacho Libre (2006)

EW's GRADE
D+

Details Release Date: Jun 16, 2006; Rated: PG; Length: 91 Minutes; Genre: Comedy; With: Jack Black; Distributor: Paramount Pictures

A kitschy faux-Mexican idiot-slob wrestling comedy starring Jack Black and his noble, blubbery bod. Black, looking like Avery Schreiber in the old Doritos commercials, plays a monk who dreams of becoming a Lucha Libre wrestler. The film tries for a so-stupid-it's-smart vibe, but it's mirthless.
