Review: Nacho Libre

Just been to see Jack Black's new flick - Nacho Libre.

Its the story of a Mexican priest who secretly follows his passion and becomes a Luchadore (wrestler)

The film has received a bit of criticism as the film was directed by the guy who did the very excellent Napolean Dynamite. Personally I think its ridiculous to compare the two - Nacho is clearly aimed at a broader audience, including kids. It follows the same style as School of Rock, but offers more for adults, has the same sentimentality in the end, but is just great comedy.

Jack Black is fast becoming a modern day James Belushi, consistently producing offbeat hilarious stuff.

This is well worth a watch.
