Undescribable Perfection

Sick Product of a Sick System

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

In my opinion, Nacho Libre and Napoleon Dynamite are very similar. However, there is one large difference between the two: Nacho Libre has some humor. Although the movie is slow and predictable in parts, Jack Black really redeems the funny parts with his charm. Overall, I would recommend.

Nacho Libre is a fun action filled family friendly movie. Starring Jack Black as Nacho Libre as an orphan in a orphanage in Mexico. Ever since he was a little boy he has dreamed of becoming a louche lour(Mexican wrestler) but the religion of his orphanage forbids it. The leader of the orphanage says it is not the lords way. The orphanage is running low on money and food so all they get to eat is muck and chips. Nacho is tired of it so he sets out to be a louche lour. One day he is in an alleyway grabbing the chips for the orphans he is attacked by a scrawny hobo named Stephen Nacho realizes his speed and great strength. They become partners and there training begins. There first fight comes around and it turns out they aren't very good Nacho is angry but Stephen doesn't really care. The referee comes out and throws them a pack of money and they realize this could be the turning point for the orphanage watch the movie to find out. This movie is action filled hilarious and family friendly if you like all of those things this is the movie for you!

...........................................................from Pasto,Colombia...Via: L.A. CA., CALI, COLOMBIA...and ORLANDO, FL Nacho Libre barely had 10 million(US) at its disposal to cover the cost of its production. With the exception of Jack Black(School of Rock, King Kong), there really is no cast member who is well-known outside of the USA. In the Hispanic world, Ana de la Reguera is known for numerous appearances in soap operas and movies, but for the English-speaking audience, she is a complete unknown…. at least until the release of Nacho Libre.Directed and written by Jared Hess(Napoleon Dynamite) a director who has gained a well-earned reputation for going against all the Hollywood rules of "Formula". To enjoy the schizophrenic world of Nacho Libre, however, you don't have to be to be a genius. It is a uniquely original and zany vision that no one could possibly confuse with reality. However, it is the kind of film that does not frame itself very well in high expectations. It is somewhat counterproductive to announce beforehand, "Oh, now here we have a very amusing and hilarious movie". (Despite the fact that for my wife, Carmen and I, "LIBRE" most certainly was both!) Perhaps the main attraction here is a surreal simplicity, innocence and freshness, and that its basic raison d'etre is so utterly hair-brained and absurd...but in the best possible way! Shouldn't go into much more detail here, so as not to ruin it for you with anything resembling a Spoiler. But taking this into account, I will dare to offer the following observations: Another interesting element of LIBRE is that, seemingly, it was made tailored to seek out a new market in the United States...The bilingual movie buff! (at least "new" in relation to film production.) Jack Black is listed as the sole producer. That is, he put up his own money betting there would be a receptive bilingual viewing audience segment! .It must be noted, however, that there are a number of attempts at humor that flat out do not work in LIBRE. But these flubs, fortunately, are handily outnumbered by scenes that DO produce considerable laughter. The sight of Nacho Libre and his tag-teammate "Esqueleto" ("Skeleton") wrestling and taking on the world is about as close as I ever want to come to dying of laughter! The love songs composed and sung by Jack Black are so slapstick operatic exaggerated, so insanely ridiculous and so poorly rendered, that they end up being immensely entertaining.Most certainly, Nacho Libre is not a classic of the Seventh Art that will be much debated ten years in the future. But it definitely will keep you laughing a lot during an hour and a half of your life! 8*....ENJOY/DISFRUTELA!!!

Ignacio (Jack Black) is the cook in a monastery orphanage. Nacho falls in love with the new teacher Sister Encarnación (Ana de la Reguera). He befriends thief Steven (Héctor Jiménez) as they train to be Mexican wrestlers Nacho and Esqueleto.Director Jared Hess of Napoleon Dynamite fame gets a leading comedic talent. It doesn't really work. There are a couple a slightly amusing moments. Jack Black puts on such an unusual mannerism that it doesn't allow the humor to shine. Instead, it's an one-note character that keeps repeating. This seems like a skit character given a full length movie. He's also not that lovable.
