Nacho Libre (2006)

Sorry, this movie sucks

just watch it!

A lot of fun.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Nacho (Black) is a monastery cook, who spends his day feeding orphans and being overlooked by the monastery. When Sister Encarnación (Reguera) arrive at the monastery, Nacho realises that the only way to win her affection and to save the children, will be by competing as a Luchador wrestler. Nacho Libre is a wrestling spoof starring Jack Black and believe me it's pretty damn good, it's very funny and hysterical but also elevates from great perfomances from it's cast especially Black. It's not a film that needs to be taken serious i mean it's a fat monastery cook that tries to become a wrestler and goes against a 'Rey Mysterio' type of wrestler champion. It's definitely a great movie to be enjoyed. (10/10)

This work of art actually opened up the world of God to me.It's funny, you get that sweet Mexican respectable accent from Jack Black himself, and you also get a better movie than Ready Player One will ever be. I'm impressed with the acting. It was funny, spicy, and feisty. A lot of which is greatly appreciated among my people (Jack Blackers). I thought at first Jack was surrounded by Spanish speaking people and WOW, I looked it up-- I have research-- but this man speaks a beautiful imitation of that of a Mexican accent. Lovely. Read me bedtime stories, Jack.Anyway, referring to the rest of the film-- people, calm down! It wasn't meant for its literal reference to religion and wrestling, but rather a satirical based film in which it pokes a good balance of playful fun and a touch of reality.Ever have a bad day? Watch Nacho Libre.(it rhymed, give me credit here) Bless up, what a lord.thank you

This is a goofy offbeat comedy set is Mexico where Jack Black plays Friar Ignacio stuck with cooking for orphans in a remote monastery.He teams up with a street kid to form a tag team and although getting some bizarre beating in the ring they earn enough money to get better food for the orphans. Brother Ignacio also hopes to impress the new nun who he finds rather appealing. However as the monastery frowns on wrestling, he fights as a masked wrestlerAfter a while tired of losing and wanting to make money as a winner he challenges top wrestler Ramses and hope he can soar like an eagle.This is a quirky underdog story with a right blend of humour and action when the action is consigned to the ring but does not always flow altogether when the story is away from the ring when it can easily become dull despite some gross out humour.

I remember (when 5 years old) watching wrestling on TV from the Olympic Auditorium in LA. Then when my son was around 6-7 we visited relatives in Mexico and were taken to a wrestling match. My son enjoyed it so much that, when grown and he saw Nacho Libre, he called me. Told me to watch Nacho Libre. I did and the rest is laugh history. The setting for Nacho is very authentically Mexico. Jack is superb as is Jimenez and "Encarnacion" aw well as the rest of the cast. I've watched the movie so many times, I quote it (by heart) in conversations now and then. I just bought the CD Sound Track as all the music and songs as perfect. The main song (I love in the movie), "Mucha Muchacha" is not in the CD. I could have had a heart attack. Many other song as are omitted. Why? I need to know. I love Mucha Muchacha and the other ones not found in the CD.
