The Mormon-raised maker of Napoleon Dynamite (Jared Hess) is really good at crafting clean yet menacing humor. Jack Black is funny enough just wearing the stretchy pants, but the deadpan portrayal of his wacky character is just about classic. The behind-the-scenes singing and goofing is funny, too. This one surely qualifies as one of those "bring on the roadtrip" or "lives on the bus" for multiple repeat laughs and line memorizing. This one has some real gems in it, like when Black's under-appreciated convent cook, Ignacio, is grilled after returning without the chips: "Did you tell him they were the Lord's chips?" or, when he's caught in front of a mirror in his wrestling outfit: "When you are a man, sometimes you wear stretchy pants in your room."
