Nacho Libre vs Napoleon Dynamite


How could someone who made the classic Napoleon Dynamite make such a dismal, totally awful movie like Nacho Libre? What went wrong?

reply

I completely disagree with you there. In my opinion this is a much better movie than Napoleon dynamite, which was genuinely stupid. Whereas in this movie the cast seemed like they knew how stupid it all was and I think it benefited from it. But who am I kidding? Neither of these movies are that good anyways.

As popular as Napoleon is, I actually couldn't get thru it. Nacho was good and entertaining to me.

Same here, couldn't stand Napoleon Dynamite but love this film.

Nacho Libre was way better than Napoleon Dynamite. I laugh every time I watch it.

I love love love Napoleon Dynamite. It's the funniest movie I've ever seen. Nacho Libre is funny, but not as good as Napoloeon. Just my opinion.

Nacho Libre is fun.

Its that man again!!

Napoleon dynamite got old half way thru. The whole Debbie downer attitude played itself out. Nacho libre is entertaining and funny the whole time. I can see where people might think jack black is a little much at times, but as a huge fan of his I guess I'm a little bias. All in all I like both films, it's just Napoleon has less rewatching potential than nacho.

Both are great, and both remind me of Gentlemen Broncos, another quirky fantastic film.

I have noticed that comedies suffer the worst critics, trying to make people laugh is apparently some sort of crime.

I always take IMDB ratings on comedies with a grain of salt, miserable bastards abound and they love to *beep* on people trying to lighten others lives.

They are both

I said BOTH

Massively ingenious.

Shut up haters and crime!

Gentlemen Broncos was amazing.
