Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
mor-73100 I'm mexican and this movie so so spot on a few cultural things. Nacho is totally outrageous and only Jack Black could have made nailed the role while bringing the character to life!! This movie is slap stick funny and has situational humor which I love. The movie has a tender sentiments and honestly made me laugh out loud at so many parts. Also sooooo many good quotes that will keep you laughing after months of watching the movie!
adonis98-743-186503 Nacho (Black) is a monastery cook, who spends his day feeding orphans and being overlooked by the monastery. When Sister Encarnación (Reguera) arrive at the monastery, Nacho realises that the only way to win her affection and to save the children, will be by competing as a Luchador wrestler. Nacho Libre is a wrestling spoof starring Jack Black and believe me it's pretty damn good, it's very funny and hysterical but also elevates from great perfomances from it's cast especially Black. It's not a film that needs to be taken serious i mean it's a fat monastery cook that tries to become a wrestler and goes against a 'Rey Mysterio' type of wrestler champion. It's definitely a great movie to be enjoyed. (10/10)
gmonaco-39246 I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard while watching a movie. The first and only time I saw this movie was in the theatre when it came out and at the time I loved it, but I was 16 at the time so I wasn't expecting to like it as much as the first time I saw it. To my delightful surprise, I believe I may have loved it even more this time around. The comedies that have come out these past 10 years have been complete and utter crap. None of them have been funny. None of them have been clever. And none of them made me laugh out loud the entire time like this movie did. A lot of the credit must go to Jack Black. His comedic talent was on complete display here. His physical comedy has never been more prevalent or impressive. He has proved himself with this movie that he certainly could have been amongst the great silent movie actors back in the day. His facial expressions are hysterical and his movements are manic in the best way possible. The director, Jared Hess, did an outstanding job letting us see all of the amazing action on screen with limited cuts, which is such a breath of fresh air nowadays. The tone of the movie reminded me so much of director Jody Hill's movies as well as his show Eastbound and Down, in the way that we are following a character who has a very limited amount of talent but he believes so whole heartedly that he can do the impossible. The music and the cinematography enhances this similarity as well, and it works gangbusters. I believe this very well may be Jack Black's finest comedic performance and it's the one I will most remember him for. So happy this movie exists.
Prismark10 This is a goofy offbeat comedy set is Mexico where Jack Black plays Friar Ignacio stuck with cooking for orphans in a remote monastery.He teams up with a street kid to form a tag team and although getting some bizarre beating in the ring they earn enough money to get better food for the orphans. Brother Ignacio also hopes to impress the new nun who he finds rather appealing. However as the monastery frowns on wrestling, he fights as a masked wrestlerAfter a while tired of losing and wanting to make money as a winner he challenges top wrestler Ramses and hope he can soar like an eagle.This is a quirky underdog story with a right blend of humour and action when the action is consigned to the ring but does not always flow altogether when the story is away from the ring when it can easily become dull despite some gross out humour.
