Celebrating the triumphs and tribulations of the lovable loseris no easy thing, but ... more

filmmaker Jared Hess seems to thrive in
thisspecific cinematic exercise. Working fresh off
the success ofNapoleon Dynamite, Hess finds a
similarly endearinghero-without-a-clue in Ignacio,
played by Jack Black (School OfRock, King Kong),
the title character in Nacho LIbre. Ignacio,
growing up in a poor monastery in Mexico, has
dreamedof being a professional wrestler since
childhood. This obsessionhas led him to a
thankless adult existence as monasterywhipping-boy
and chef, serving stale, day-old nacho chips
tofinicky orphans. In an effort to earn the
respect of new nun-hottieSister Encarnacion (Ana
De La Reguera) and escape the monasteryinto the
greedy excess of pro wrestling, Ignacio enters a
localamateur competition. Along the way, he picks
up the notably scrawnyyet tough street urchin
Esqueleto (Hector Jimenez) as his tag-teampartner.
The duo hilariously loses badly and repeatedly to
allmanner of local wrestling oddities. It is only
when Ignaciorecognizes a higher goal than money
and glory that he can trulycompete with his
professional idols, including the dreaded and
evilchampion Ramses. Co-written with Hess's
writing partner and wife,Jerusha, and noted
screenwriter Mike White (Chuck & Buck, TheGood
Girl), Nacho Libre is stocked with real-life
wrestlers doingtheir thing. Jack Black's
over-the-top physical humor blends inperfectly
with repeated viewings of his "stretchie pants"
andtimely flatulence. In concert, the elements
fuse to distill acomedy that should appeal to all
ages eager to be pinned down in afull-nelson by
laughter. Special Features (TBC): Audio commentary

Nacho Libre will definitely be remembered in the first bunch. Black's Mexican accent is horrendous, but his childlike, vulnerable character is note-perfect otherwise. Ignacio is an innocent with a simple dream, a man who takes his responsibilities to the orphaned children ridiculously seriously but whose eyes frequently betray utter disatisfaction with his lot in life.

The pastoral scenes of life at the ...
...The gallery of grotesques that Nacho and Squeletto encounter as they struggle towards the big time are a particular highlight of the film. Whether they're genuine wrestlers or the result of the costume designer smoking some particularly potent crack, I have no idea, but they are brilliant, from the midget monsters up to the imposing lipstick daubed colossus Rameses.

One of my favourite aspects of the film is the way in which the two ... more

He's Nacho Ordinary Hero

Advantages: Jack Black is great as always; it's just a relaxed, funny comedy
Disadvantages: Too many fart jokes, not much plot

Nacho Libre is the second film from director Jared Hess; his first, Napoleon Dynamite, was a strange indie comedy which became a huge cult classic. This film stars Jack Black (previously seen in School of Rock, King Kong, and the rock band Tenacious D) as the Nacho in question, and a supporting cast of relative unknowns. Jack Black plays Ignacio, a monk in a Mexican monastery/orphanage. He enjoys looking after the young children, but his cooking ...
...he becomes his alter ego, Nacho (which I think is short for the name Ignacio, in case you were wondering); complete with stretch trousers, red pants, a cape and mask. Needless to say, the pair are, at first, pretty bad, even after some extreme training in the wilderness. They're getting paid fairly handsomely just for losing, but they want to win, and even turn professional - so they sneak into a party held by the number one luchador (wrestler), ...

...chuckle. So when you see Nacho speeding along on his motor-trike gazing around, you know he's going to go flying over a cliff and he does. Though the comedy may be broad and the characters exaggerated, Hess still has clear affection for them, which means you root for Nacho and his wrestling partner throughout. Hess revels in the ludicrousness of the world of Lucha Libre in all its tights and mask-wearing glory. Nacho and Esqueleto's opponents are ...
...realise that. Why else would Nacho and Esqueleto spend their time catapulting melons at each other and having bee hives thrown at them? There are all manner of odd touches that bring up the strange count in the movie, from the corn cob lollies beloved of Nacho's partner, the way Nacho first entices him out of hiding, to the bizarre costumes (check out the ecclesiastical jumpsuit at the end) and the real determination to fulfil tiny ambitions. Then ...

Wrestling with nuns

Advantages: Jack Black in the wrestling scenes
Disadvantages: Story, plot, characters..everything really!

...the orphanage to teach and Nacho now has another distraction in his once small and isolated little world. How will he cope with his normal jobs, hiding his training from the other monks, the actual training and the way he feels about the Sister. It is hard to imagine exactly what audience Nacho Libre is aimed at, it is not as outrageously over the top as previous Jack Black films, or as non pc as such fare as Old School, Anchorman etc. Its audience ...
...a much better script than Nacho Libre had to be the complete focus of a film. Jack Black is a fine comedic talent, no doubt about it, but Nacho Libre doesn't have the belly laughs you expect from a Jack Black movie. It is amusing, that is true, but amusing doesn't really cut it for me. What Nacho Libre reminds me of is the early films Jack Black made where he stole the scenes his character was in but he was only a support character. The supporting ...

Jack Black fighting little Mexican blokes

Advantages: Funny, easy, Jack Black
Disadvantages: Predictable, little apart from Black

...up this should work brilliantly. Nacho Libre was released in 2006 with Jack Black as the star of a wrestling themed religious comedy that was loosely based on the life of a real life reverend in Mexico. Directed by and written by the Hess Brothers (Napoleon Dynamite) the movie featured a pretty highly rated set of comedy personal (which also included Mike White or School Rock fame) as well as the backing cast of a lot of Mexican actors and actresses. ...

Sadly however with their being no money the children get given some disgusting gloop for their meals. When a new nun comes to the orphanage Nacho starts to feel even more worthless and at the chance sighting of a Libre Wrestle and the respect they get a childhood dream comes back to him and he decides to give it a go. After being paid he gets food for ...

Advantages: Some good funny bits
Disadvantages: Could have been so much better

I had been a bit undecided about this film as it has had mixed reviews but as I quite like Jack Black I finally thought I would give it a go. Well I am pleased that I have now watched it but have to say it was not a good as I was expecting. Jack Black plays the role of Ignacio who as a young boy looses his parents so is bough up in an orphanage run by Monks. He grows up loving wrestling and always dreams of becoming a wrestler. Now Ignacio is a grown ...
...time cooking for the children. Secretly Ignacio becomes a wrestler so he can raise some money to buy fresh ingredients for the children’s meals. He enlists the help of a scavenger man called Esqueleto or ‘The Skeleton’ and they start their tag team wrestling. Will they be any good and will Ignacio be able to keep it a secret from the monks and the new Nun as wrestling is classed as a sin? I thought that this film was Ok but for some reason I was ...

Review of Nacho Libre (HD-DVD)

You stay classy San Diago

Advantages: brilliant comic acting, great extras on DVD
Disadvantages: not enough extras bloopers!

Anchorman is a hilarious film, a showcase of American comedic talent. Will Ferrell plays Ron Burgundy, an anchorman in 1970s San Diego. The new woman on the team, played by Christina Applegate, throws a spanner in the works and some hilarious moments follow, including Ron Burgundy playing Jazz Flute, Jack Black in a cameo role as an angry biker and a big street fight between all the news channels. If you like this kind of humor (think Dodgeball, Zoolander or Nacho Libre) then you will love Anchorman and it will have you crying with laughter. The extras on the DVD are definitely worth a look, with 25 minutes of deleted scenes, a commentary on the film by Will Ferrell and the Director Adam McKay and some hilarious outtakes. ...
