Kids Love the Potty Humor

For the first time ever, I left a Jack Black movie feeling un-aroused. And no, it's not because I was with my children. Please. I'm a professional.

Maybe it had something to do with the movie itself. Normally, Mike White and Jack Black team up and the result is comedy heaven. A sure thing, no? No. Last night, I scored free tickets to their newest collaboration because my children think Jack Black is hysterical and I think he's hot. At least the boys were satisfied.

I'm not a critic, but I will say this: Nacho Libre is lame. My children loved the physical humor, fart jokes and poop gags. Watching them laugh was worth every second of the horror that is wasted talent. However, if the packed theatre full of laughing mouthbreathers was any indication, this flick will be a hit. Won't be the first time I miscalculated the American audience. Look at Napoleon Dynamite.

The funniest moment of the evening came before the movie even started. I said to my oldest, "Are you happy to be here?" He smiled and said, "That's nacho business, Mom. Get it? Nacho business!" I laughed for about a minute. Look out Jackie. My boy's gaining on you.
