Review by lisawall

This was a very sweet and funny film. I did not find it a bit offensive to the Latin culture. Jack Black's character was very endearing because of his love for the orphans. It is refreshing to see a film that is very funny without foul language and nudity. Humor without shock value. What a concept!!!! Kids can go see this and both them and their parents will love it. I can't wait for Hess's next film. Jack Black is at the top of his game here. Hess's previous work, Napoleon Dynamite, was funny in the same fashion. It is true humor when you can laugh when no words are being spoken. Hess has found his "real" talent; finding the best actors to fit the parts. Jack Black and Jon Heder were the best choices for the title characters in their respective films. Hess is on his way to the top.
