Nacho Mountain

Keefer (Jay Larson) is good at three things: eating, drinking and getting high. Ok, four if you count his encyclopedic knowledge of porn. When he gets fired from his office job (for watching porn on company time) he decides to take a look at his life and put his talents to good use and organizes a series of underground eating competitions. It isn’t long before his plans to make money without really having to work for it take on bigger implications when he goes up against the mayor who is trying to turn his town into the healthiest place in the country. As can be expected in a comedy about competitive eating, there are plenty of gross-out moments in Nacho Mountain. What’s unexpected is the smart script and sharp performances of the cast. Of course, if you don’t think naming one of the competitive eaters EntrĂ©e the Giant is smart and funny, then Nacho Mountain might not be to your taste. Well, give it a try anyway. You will be pleasantly surprised.
