About this product

Product Information

Celebrating the triumphs and tribulations of the lovable loser is no easy thing, but filmmaker Jared Hess seems to thrive in this specific cinematic exercise. Working fresh off the success of NAPOLEON DYNAMITE, Hess finds a similarly endearing hero-without-a-clue in Ignacio, played by Jack Black (HIGH FIDELITY, KING KONG), the title character in NACHO LIBRE. Ignacio, growing up in a poor monastery in Mexico, has dreamed of being a professional wrestler since childhood. This obsession has led him to a thankless adult existence as monastery whipping-boy and chef, serving stale, day-old nacho chips to finicky orphans. In an effort to earn the respect of new nun-hottie Sister Encarnacion (Ana De La Reguera) and escape the monastery into the greedy excess of pro wrestling, Ignacio enters a local amateur competition. Along the way, he picks up the notably scrawny yet tough street urchin Esqueleto (Hector Jimenez) as his tag-team partner. The duo hilariously loses badly and repeatedly to all manner of local wrestling oddities. It is only when Ignacio recognizes a higher goal than money and glory that he can truly compete with his professional idols, including the dreaded and evil champion Ramses. Co-written with Hess's writing partner and wife, Jerusha, and noted screenwriter Mike White (CHUCK & BUCK, SCHOOL OF ROCK), NACHO LIBRE is stocked with real-life wrestlers doing their thing. Jack Black's over-the-top physical humor blends in perfectly with repeated viewings of his "stretchie pants" and timely flatulence. In concert, the elements fuse to distill a comedy that should appeal to all ages eager to be pinned down in a full-nelson by laughter.

  • ack Black Provides Some Very Silly But Very Funny Physi

    MOVIE: When I heard that Jack Black would be playing a Mexican Friar who moonlighted as a wrestler in Jared Hess' next project I got very happy, because I knew this would be a funny movie. The trailers for the film advertised exactly what this movie was, and that was pure physical comedy. The story is about Nacho, a Friar who wants the fame and fortune that is associated with being a luchadore after living the same old life over and over each day. He then realizes that this journey to become a professional wrestler is not for himself but for the orphans whom he looks after and cooks for at the orphanage. The movie is basically Jack Black running around with his shirt off for an hour and a half while sporting a fake mustache and a funny Mexican accent. While the majority of the comedy in ...

  • Many will be dissappointed

    As many know Jack Black is known for his know it all comedic performances and raw humor. I expected the same from him in this film as I did all his others... but here, we see the more pensive side of his acting... If you are looking for a tenacious D performance, look elsewhere. I myself liked this movie more so that I had imagined because I don't like his hyper off the wall humor all of the time. This is a more calm movie with a mission to better the lives of the children at the monestary... Awed by the way the fighters are treated (getting flowers thrown to them in the middle of town), Ignacio decides to enter into a fighting contest with a complete stranger (esqueleto) in order to buy food so that the children can enjoy their meals. You'll see a lot of silly humor in jack ...

  • Stupidly Hilarious!

    We laughed so hard at this stupid movie, that we were almost ashamed! "What on earth about it was so funny?" we asked ourselves. Well, just about everything! It's hard to describe exactly why, but the whole thing had us rolling. The expressions, the music, the wrestlers and wrestling matches... The one fellow (Jack Black's wrestling partner) looked so much like Mick Jaggar that it was histerical. Anyway, I can't say I'd recommend it to anyone, because you'd really have to see it for yourself to see if it would be funny to you or if you'd want to throw it away...but we just howled. Even now, when we remember scenes or lines from the movie, we still roar with laughter. Have a great day! :-)

  • Just For Laughs

    If you are a Jack Black fan this movie is for you. If your not a fan you will still like it. It's simple and funny. He and his partner are competing as lucidors ( Wrestlers ) in Mexico and the fight matches are so funny as these two clods get beat up night after night by a whole host of wacky opponents. Jack plays a wanna be monk who falls in love with a sister of the order and that by it's self is funny. His co star and fight partner Hector Jemenas is very funny as well. The violence is mild and is funny and the sound track is really nice. If you want some no thinking just for laughs fun then watch this movie. The ending is quite a feel good one as well

  • Nacho Libre

    It's definitely not the best movie that I've seen, but it had it's moments. The story centers around a man named Ignacio (or Nacho Libre) who grew up in a poor monastery, and later became the chef. He always dreamed of becoming a pro wrestler. He teams up with Esqueleto, a tough and scrawny street urchin, to be his tag-team partner. They lose every wrestling match repeatedly. Even though they lost every match, they still get paid since the crowd loved them. Ignacio uses his money to help feed the orphans. It's a decent storyline, but it's too drawn out. It was funny in some parts, but not enough to keep me laughing throughout. Definitely not one of Jack Black's best movies. Overall, this is a movie that you are better off renting.
