Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C+ Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Steve Murray "Uneven south-of-the-border comedy that verges on the mean-spirited." more... C   Boston Globe Ty Burr "...a one-joke idea (fat guy goes luchador) padded out to feature length by Black's willingness to do anything for a laugh." more... C   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "It takes some doing to make a Jack Black comedy that doesn't work. But Nacho Libre does it." more... C- Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips "...easy to take and easy to forget, even with Black running around Oaxaca in turquoise wrestling tights." more... B- E! Online "It just sits there, making you wish Pedro or Uncle Rico would blast into the scene and make something happen. Tragically, they don't." more... C   Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman "It's a comedy made by people who seem to think they're doing more than they're doing which is making a mildly offbeat Adam Sandler comedy..." more... D+ filmcrtic.com Sean O'Connell "Did Nacho make me laugh while I was in the theater? Certainly. And for a comedy, what more can we expect?" more... B- Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen "One of the most inspired comedies in anos." more... B+ New York Post Kyle Smith "...often hilarious..." more... B   New York Times Manohla Dargis "...endearingly ridiculous..." more... B+ ReelViews James Berardinelli "The film starts out funny, but it doesn't take long for it to become tedious." more... C   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "...fitfully funny..." more... C   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "...everything in the direction is consistently broad, rendering absurd all that the movie simultaneously tries to build." more... C   Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker "The script is less a story than a premise torn between the smattering of fart jokes and other juvenile delight..." more... C+ USA Today Claudia Puig "What is missing in plot and character development is made up for in silly fun." more... B   * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade.
