Hands down, Nacho Libre is the funniest Mexican-wrestling themed movie ever made. Jack Black plays Nacho Libre: a pious toast-eating monk by day, and a fiercely-competitive masked-luchador by night. Nacho must wrestle with his beliefs which remind him that fighting for money is a sin, and his overwhelming desire to enter the ring wearing his stretchy pants, cape and mask! Aside from the hilarious lines and great physical comedy of Jack Black, this slapstick film has some outstanding wrestling, great cinematography and a fabulous soundtrack that is one of the most memorable in movie history (Klaus Ming May 2009).
Nacho Libre is easily my guiltiest pleasure in movie watching. I just cant ever seem to get enough Nacho!
