Nacho Libre
 
I caught a special free screening of this tonight. Basically, if you are able to watch it for free, go for it. If you are heavily into Jack Black, go for it. Anyone else, don't bother.

There were maybe three or four funny parts, but the rest was pretty dull. I wouldn't recommend it, and there weren't really many catch phrases so I don't see how it's going to be as hyped up as Napoleon Dynamite. There was a plot, though, but it was all Mexican-y and there was wrestling involved and it was just ugh :/

Was his "accent" as least good?

Esuohlim Jun 13th, 2006 04:19 PM

More like "over the top".

Oh yeah, he also breaks character and goes into Tenacious D mode with some singing near the end.

And the final moment of the final fight could almost be a redeeming factor, but I wouldn't see it for any money.

I decided to avoid this one. Considering that the movie preview was incredibly irritating, I figured that it didn't bode well for the movie. Especially when you consider that previews usually contain the better portions of movies.

I'm still seeing it when it comes out.

Yeah, don't let some faggot like me tell you what not to see. :(

Also, it's a Nickelodeon film.

That ALONE is more than enough reason not to go see it.

Sam Jun 13th, 2006 10:18 PM

Good Burger is the greatest movie ever.

DamnthatDavid Jun 14th, 2006 01:12 PM

Saw Good burger once when it first came out at the Rentals...

and I still have the "I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes, hey!" song in my head.

MarioRPG Jun 14th, 2006 03:51 PM

I never really considered seeing Nacho Libre in theatre, just a rental if at all.

Juttin Jun 14th, 2006 07:07 PM

Well, I know my opinion doesn't count, but I liked Good Burger :(

Other than that, No. Nickelodeon shouldn't be allowed to make movies

I'm still seeing Nacho Libre, though :(

executioneer Jun 14th, 2006 07:48 PM

I know Keenan went on to become fat, but did Kel fall off the face of the earth or something?

maggiekarp Jun 15th, 2006 03:01 PM

Kel was in Mystery Men and that Rocky & Bullwinkle movie, but I haven't seen him in anything since.

[edit] According to IMDB, Kenan is gonna be in Snakes on a Plane :o

MarioRPG Jun 15th, 2006 03:46 PM

How.... appropriate?

Esuohlim Jun 15th, 2006 03:50 PM

When Kenan became an SNL cast member I remember Kel doing Pepsi commercials.

Juttin Jun 15th, 2006 04:40 PM

Unfortunate Events movie just took characters from the books and crapped up the plot + order of happenings >:

The books are ok, though

Yeah, that final moment was pretty amazing

I saw this with friends, and my friends were pretty much the only reason I went. This movie was something of a snooze, but also exhausting in its lack of sincere emotion. Like every moment of emotion in it was just irony. The whole movie is just wall-to-wall irony, which makes it so unsatifying. It wasn't as obnoxious as Napolean Dynamite though. And visually this guys movies are like dumb-downed versions of Wes Anderson movies.
