| Film picksPaul Howlett Monday December 3, 2007 The Guardian The Wedding Singer 2.15pm, 9.45pm, Sky Movies Comedy (Frank Coraci, 1998) It's set in the 80s, but in spirit Coraci's romantic comedy hails from a more distant past, with Adam Sandler's wedding singer and Drew Barrymore's waitress having to ditch - or be ditched by - unworthy partners before finding true love together. Features some of the catchiest tunes of the decade, from Culture Club to Kajagoogoo. Nacho Libre Another comedy from the director of Napoleon Dynamite. Jack Black is Ignacio, the paunchy friar who cooks the gruel for the unfortunate children at a Mexican orphanage: Zorro-like, he becomes the masked wrestler Nacho Libre, who fights to win better food for the kids, and to win Sister Encarnación (Ana de la Reguera). With its snappy script, it's a comic knockout. The World Tao Zhao is a dancer at a Beijing theme park - a sort of tatty Legoland. She makes friends with a trafficked Russian woman, has a sorry affair with one of the guards, and awaits a passport that will never come from her long-gone husband in Paris. It's a resolutely low-key story of people with all the world before them, but with nowhere to go - a long look-askance at the new China. Printable version | Send it to a friend | Clip
