Nacho Libre - How was it? How do you rank it???

P.S. the music was good and...
Does anybody know the name of the Sex Jam that played a couple of times during the moments with Nacho and the nun?

what blows my mind is people who depend on other peoples criticisms...hell even if close close CLOSE friends with pretty much my exact sense of humor tells me a movie is great or terrible, i still go check it out. ive been pleasantly surprised or dissapointed either way...
word. I love my friends and respect their cinematic tastes but what they tell me a bout a movie has NO bearing on whether I'll see it usually. if want to peep a movie, I will peep it no matter what. and when Jack Black puts out a flick, there is no way I'ma go to the theaters for that crap no matter what my friends say.
 
I really liked Nap D, but don't own a Vote For Pedro shirt.

Nacho was great when they were outside of the orphanage. Inside it was boring as hell. Cut those 40 minutes of orphans out and I give it.

Without said editing, I'd wait for Netflix.
 
Robby Benson was a fairly popular actor in the late 70's early 80's. And he's a gringo. We watched "Walk Proud" in my Chicano cinema class back in the day and this thread made me remember the discussions we had about a white actor playing a latino character, then going on to play a hasid.
man, its good to know that Robby Benson is a staple of latino film classes. We too watched Walk Proud in class and spoke on his non-latin portrayal.
Is this that flik where he walks the gangline at the end and gets his ass kicked?
 
There's tons of record digger music in this film as well. surprised no ones mentioned that yet. KPM, Mutantes, some freaky spanish/mexican/SA type shit I didnt know but was pretty dope..

As for the film.. some good, some bad, but if you cant laugh at the match where they get attacked by the two lion midgets you might wanna check your pulse.
 
The weird thing is there is no soundtrack out yet. Pretty odd for a blockbuster movie with lots of great music in it.
The main song used in the movie - "Religious Man" - is apparently by a Mexican group called Mr. Loco (there's three other songs by them in the movie as well). Anybody own their record (s)? I found this blog about it doing a google search; Monoblog

As for the movie itself, I thought it was completely hysterical. Totally lowbrow but they kept the really gross stuff to a minimum.
 
I caught the flick last night. I thought it was pretty funny, but the storyline was pretty weak, IMO.

Definitely had several hilarious moments. One of the most disturbing parts was Nacho cracking the eagle egg and gulping down that chunky-ass yolk, as the rest of it spilled down his face.

Getting to look at this girl was probably the best thing about this movie. I would not recommend anyone spending $9.00 bucks on the movie though, Jack Black is a cliche of himself in every movie, and it seemed like the directors were just a little too gassed up from Napolean Dynamite when they made this one.
 
I liked it..laughed my ass off. It pays off, it doesnt blow its wad in the first 30 minutes and then is ho-hum for the remaining hour like most comedies these days. Really great slapstick. I laughed til I couldnt breathe when he tries to rip his sweatshirt off after the first match and gets hit in the back of the head. silly movie, but it is supposed to be. Cosign on the great soundtrack.

Mr. Loco definitly has some funky shit. He was kind of a parody/novelty act in the 70s in Mexico. I have a few of his records... his voice can get grating, but the music is fonky.
 
the soundtrack is available since a few weeks, but sadly the best tracks from the movie are not on it.
