Nacho Libre (2006)

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

As a multitude of films that have some soulless being translating the name.. Names shouldn't be translated, much less movie titles, the way they are in Portuguese is so awfully done..The title in Portuguese should be: "Nacho Livre (2006)" and not the nonsensical one it has: "Super Nacho - O Herói do Wrestling (2006)", a really bad translation for a title..Bad movie title translations on the side, good movie..P.S.:Please stop the person/people who translate movie titles on IMDb from doing it, they are ruining the IMDb image and changing the movie story/experience with that..

This film hits audiences immediately with its playful and friendly humor, which it sustains very well throughout the film. I have seen this film a good many times and each time I watch it I still find myself laughing and having a good time. The characters are well developed and you want Jack Black to succeed. The supporting cast also does a fantastic job of moving the story along, and adding a quirky but real feeling to the entire film. Every person in the film doesn't go over the top in presentation. So even the crazy wrestlers make sense. This is a great family flick and is entertaining for both kids and adults alike. Definitely give this movie a watch.

Nacho Libre (2006): Dir: Jared Hess / Cast: Jack Black, Hector Jimenez, Ana de la Reguera, Richard Montoya, Peter Stormare: Often funny take on wrestling as a monk who cooks terrible meals for orphans dreams of becoming a top Mexican wrestler. This is so to afford better food for the orphans under his care. Hilarious idea follows formula with awkward training and losing bouts until the predicted championship fight that hasn't the comic payoff that it should have. Nacho Libre and his partner were funnier when they were paid as losers. Directed by Jared Hess who had great success with the independent comedy Napoleon Dynamite. Here the budget is bigger but the screenplay isn't as effective as the simple delivery of the other film. Jack Black as Nacho is the strength of the film while Hector Jimenez plays a street bum who would become his partner and together they make a great losing combination. Why the film couldn't play out more on this level as oppose to creating winner, is beyond me. Ana de la Reguera is flat as a new teacher Nacho falls for. Her function is to do nothing more than be a conquest that is never convincing to begin with. Peter Stormare has done grittier roles of far more quality than this. He plays a character billed as Emperor and that is about it. Amusing view of wrestling and the adrenalin to be something more than the screenwriter seems to arise too. Score: 6 / 10
