Review: Nacho Libre

Click to Visit Nacho Libre Official Site

at long last.. i got to see Nacho Libre...

well i wasn't disappointed to tell you the truth.. if you loved School of Rock.. you'll surely love Nacho...

once again Jack Black works with kids, this time as a wrestler-wannabe friar... there are no big stars here (except Black of course) which i think helps the movie since you get to focus more on the acting and the "other" stuff... like its cinematography...

if you love lomography or photography for that matter.. you'll love the movie's cinematography... its so crisp and every scene reminds you of a beautiful photograph you've seen somewhere...

...Jack Black is in his usual great acting self even belting some tunes reminiscent of School of Rock... even his partner Hector Jimenez (Esqueleto) - the thin guy running away from the bees, was very funny as well... watch out for him to hit more movies soon... Sister Encarnacion and the Kids

and of course the lovely Ana De La Reguera (Sister Encarnacion)... her acting seems effortless and so true... her role as a nun was perfect for her... like Hector, she'll hit the big time soon too i predict...

overall, when i first stepped in the theatre, i thought this was just another funny Jack Black movie, but it was more... the scenes with the kids were touching.. i particularly like scenes where Jack lost his supposed big break to at long last win enough money to make the kids (orphans) happy.. "to take them into field trips" and stuff... it was moved by the scene... which is great.. if movies do that to you.. its a sign that its a great movie....

well.. if you've got nothing to do this weekend, heck.. tonight.. go and watch the movie... if you have kids, bring them with you, if you have friends, bring them too.. its a nice find... the tickets may not be "Libre" but hey... its worth it!!
