His personality shows through in his movies, and that's why I have always liked his flicks. So I went into 'Nacho Libre' with high expectations and once again, I was not let down. Jack's character is Ignacio, a monastery cook, who grew up there as an orphan. He isn't very good at his job, but loves the children he is feeding.
Ignacio has a fantasy about becoming a professional (masked) wrestler but must keep it a secret from his brothers at the monastery. Still, he is constantly dreaming, thinking and planning to fulfill this dream.
Ignacio gets a great idea after a run in with a homeless, hungry, tall, lanky guy named Esqueleto. Esqueleto is a scrapper, even for his stature. Ignacio thinks this could be just the tag team partner he needs. He convinces Esqueleto to join him. They become 'Nacho Libre' & 'Esqueleto' (The Skeleton).
Ignacio manages to hide his new found occupation a secret from the monastery, but his success is growing and the pressure is building.
This is another one of those feel good films that everyone will love.
I'd recommend this as one you pick up for your personal collection.
With Jack Black in it you know it will be good.
