Synopsis: Three famous actors and a rap singer are shooting a movie about a Vietman veteran war hero. But their conflicting egos hinder the progression of the movie, and the director under pressure has to take drastic measures.
Review: Although drected by Ben Stiller, I found that the movie had a lot of Jack Black humor in it, that is jokes that are supposed to be funny by lasting 30 seconds instead of 5. This kind of humor made me stop watching Nacho Libre after half an hour. Too bad, because the idea was good to group those three comedians in this movie, and Downey Jr. is playing quite well. Some misunderstandings and jokes are well written, and the idea to start with fake movie trailers from the three main actors is excellent, but in overall I found the movie quite annoying and boring. Note that there are plenty of cameos (Christopher Walken, Christine Taylor, Tobey McGuire) and secondary roles (Matthew McConaughey as good as usual, and a special mention to Tom Cruise that plays an incredibly irritating fat bald producer, far from his usual super-spy role).
Rating: 4 /10
