Nacho Libre

I think Dama lives in an alternate universe.

 

Sez the Lindsey Lohan / Hillary Duff fanboy. Don't be casting stones from the porch of that glass house of yours.

 

As for this movie, I enjoyed it. People seem to have wanted or expected too much of this.

 

First off, it's a Jack Black flick. If you don't like Jack Black hamming it up onscreen, you probably won't like it. Next, it's written / directed by the guy who did Napoleon Dynamite. Humor IS subjective, but a lot of people just didn't like (or "get", though it's a bit pretentious to say that) the humor of ND, so a movie that has some of the same type of humor isn't going to please everyone. And finally, it's not really a lucha movie. It's a movie with a lucha libre backdrop, so anyone going in there expecting a serious look at lucha was going to be disappointed.

 

I liked the film. I found it funny at times, and overall, it was good-natured and the final fight with Ramses was a lot of fun.

 

BTW, I totally thought that Ramses was Dr. Wagner Jr., given the way the mask fit on his head and his body type, but I was mistaken - Ramses was actually his brother, Silver King.

 

About Talladega Nights: Have to agree that it looks hilarious. I literally LOL'ed at the trailer, twice. Once at "Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft to get this fire off of me!" and again at "I can't control my heartrate I got a cougar on me!"
