Synopsis: Nacho is a man without skills. After growing up in a Mexican monastery, he is now a grown man and the monastery's cook, but doesn't seem to fit in. Nacho cares deeply for the orphans he feeds, but his food is terrible--mostly, if you ask him, a result of his terrible ingredients. He realizes he must hatch a plan to make money to buy better food for "the young orphans, who have nothing" (and if in doing so Nacho can impress the lovely Sister Encarnacion, that would be a big plus). When Nacho is struck by the idea to earn money as a Lucha Libre wrestler, he finds that he has a natural, raw talent for wrestling. As he teams with his rail-thin, unconventional partner, Esqueleto (the Skeleton), Nacho feels for the first time in his life that he has something to fight for and a place where he belongs. As Lucha is strictly forbidden by the church elders at the monastery, Nacho is forced to lead a double life. Disguised by a sky blue mask, Nacho conceals his true identity as he takes on Mexico's most famous wrestlers and takes on a hilarious quest to make life a little sweeter at the orphanage.

NaachOOOOoooooooooooo....... Jack Black is back one more time with this hilarious plot about Nacho, an young adult who grew up in a Mexican orphanage among other orphan kids. He grew up with a huge and secret dream... be a rich and famous Mexican "luchador" (wrestler). His goal is to achieve this dream and provide better food and progress opportunities for all the kids living in the orphanage, due to his fame and money. The only problem? He needs to beat Ramsess, the greatest Mexican wrestler. His plan? Well, there's no plan. In his journey to the fulfillment of his dream, he meets Esqueleto, this weird and sadistic looking guy who will become his fighting partner. A hilarious silly comedy with Jack Black dressed in home-made wrestler tights and masks, fake Spanglish accent and some silly but hilarious scenes.
What did I like from this movie?
1. NaaChOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo.... Who?! This is one of the most hilarious scenes in this movie! when he screams his wrestler name and the priest has no idea what he's saying
2. When Black tries to chase Hector, the weird looking guy and then they get together to get in the professional wrestling world
3. After their first fight, when they're in the lockers all messed up after being bit all up and they still got paid for fighting and they start buying better food and clothing
4. The white boots and blue suit that Black gets and the beauty treatment that Hector gets after few fights
5. Definitely, the moment when he goes on a date with the nun and he clunches his butt in those tight blue pants
6. The little chunky kid, really funny
7. The moment when they get in the party without being invited, Black has to play some Rancheras with the Mariachi, and the weird looking guy has to run away from the fat little girl who wants to seduce him
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. There's something with the plot. No matter how hilarious it might be, it is kind of forgettable
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Enjoy it!... Watch it!
I would say this is a pretty funny movie for the first time you watch it but I've never been motivated to put it back in. Might be a girl thing. I LOVE Jack Black but this one, in my opinion, wasn't his funniest. Maybe up there with one of his craziest, though.

Yes, it's a "one time" hilarious movie. Even though, we've watched it a couple of times within the last 2 years.
It's not his best movie at all!, but really funny though.
Once I judged a speech tournament where 2 girls acted out a scene from this. It was probably one of the funniest things I'd ever seen. Really great show!
