There's No Way Around It: Nacho Libre is a Terrible Movie
Ugh. Not since The Life Acquatic have I been as flabbergastedly amazed at the unbridled awfulness of a film from a director whose work I otherwise really liked.
Nacho Libre is a trainwreck. The story is weak. The jokes are weak. The music all over the place. There are way too many characters that almost get properly introduced. I couldn't believe I sat though it.
You can argue that Jared Hess was unfairly cruel to his characters in Napoleon Dynamite -- though Pedro DOES wind up school president and Napoleon, Uncle Rico and Kip all the get the girl -- but at least that film was entertaining. Nacho Libre is maddeningly bad. Perhaps the biggest testament to its badness? The fact that tonight, on the eve of the 4th of July (a day that EVERYONE has off from work) only four people were in the theatre.
Also, Jack Black needs to stop doing that "reen-teen-reen-teen-deedle-deedle-doo" fake trumpet crap he does whenever given the opportunity to sing.
Enjoy my $16, Hollywood.
Please shoot me.
