Much better than most comedies; you do have to have a sense of humor to enjoy it, so if you rarely laugh, don't go to this movie. Kind hearted and humorous portrayal of Mexican culture; if you have lived in Mexico as I have, you should enjoy this. Also it's refresing to see a movie that can be humorous without resorting to overt sexual conversations.
Its been a long time since I have laughed this much!!!! Getting down to "the nitty gritty" it is an enjoyable comedy. The chemistry between Jack Black "Nacho" and Hector Jimenez "Esqueleto" is what makes the movie so funny. His accent was not Mexican but very funny. My family and I just loved the movie, which I think we have seen 5 times in the theatre.
I didn't know what to expect from this movie. I like Jack Black but watching his movies are hit or miss. Sometimes they are great, sometimes they are horrible. This movie falls closer to the great side. Its not hysterically funny but it is certainly entertaining and worth a watch. The acting and dialogue is very reminiscent of Napoleon Dynamite, which could be expected since both movies are produced by the same people. The acting is bad but intentionally so and the story is original. Overall I really enjoyed this flick and do recommend it to others.
