    This movie is hilarious, but not for everyone. It does not surprise me to hear people say they didn't like it. However, those that like the movie are grateful for the chance they had to see it. It is worth a watch (and maybe two in order to really appreciate the movie). If you liked Napoleon Dynamite, you will like Nachooooooooooo.
