This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I have probably watched it about 10 ten times by now and it still cracks me up. I just watched it this summer for the first time in years and I was dying just through the first five minutes. Jack Black is outstanding, he really buys into the Jared Hess dry stupid humor. I think this is funnier than Napoleon Dynamite honestly. It is not for everyone, I went to see it in theaters with my uncle and he never cracked a smile so it dumb dry humor isn't your thing, don't watch Nacho. If you love Jack Black, this is a must see! It is amazing how Jack can carry a movie were virtually the entire rest of the cast is unknown to the Hollywood world. I lived in South America for two years and the people in this movie, especially the older cast members, remind a lot of what life is like in the traditional south American towns. Granted, this is set in Mexico, but I imagine things are relatively similar. I could watch this movie 100 times and still think it's funny.

As a multitude of films that have some soulless being translating the name.. Names shouldn't be translated, much less movie titles, the way they are in Portuguese is so awfully done..The title in Portuguese should be: "Nacho Livre (2006)" and not the nonsensical one it has: "Super Nacho - O Herói do Wrestling (2006)", a really bad translation for a title..Bad movie title translations on the side, good movie..P.S.:Please stop the person/people who translate movie titles on IMDb from doing it, they are ruining the IMDb image and changing the movie story/experience with that..

Nacho Libre is a very stupid, unnecessary, gross mediocre comedy. Jack black was sickening and very unfunny as the lead, and most of the time was shirtless and sweaty, which was gross. His sidekick, whatever his name is, just yelled and screamed the whole time, which wasn't funny at all, just really annoying. In fact, if I had to describe this movie in 1 word, that's what it'd be, annoying! The slapstick was annoying, and every character was as well! The only character I liked, was the love interest for jack blacks character, she wasn't annoying, and it's amazing, I never laughed once, not once! I just rolled my eyes a whole lot instead. Sorry Jack, just didn't impress me at ALL! 2/10 for Nacho Libre

The monk Ignacio (Jack Black) loves the orphan in the monastery and dreams on becoming a wrestler. He teams up with the bum Esqueleto (Héctor Jiménez) and wears a mask to secretly fight in the arena for amateurs with the alias Nacho. They are losers but they receive money for the fight that Ignacio uses to buy better food for the orphans. When the gorgeous Sister Encarnación (Ana de la Reguera) comes to live in the monastery, Ignacio has feelings for her. When the monks discover his secret, Ignacio is expelled from the monastery. Now he needs to win the number one wrestler Ramses (Cesar Gonzalez) to become a professional fighter. The awfully unfunny "Nacho Libre" is certainly one of the worst movies i have ever seen. The story is stupid and corny and even Jack Black is impossible to save this doomed crap. Maybe people with IQ problem may laugh watching this terrible comedy. The only thing worthwhile in this movie is the gorgeous actress Ana de la Reguera from the beautiful Veracruz. My vote is one (awful).Title (Brazil): "Nacho Libre"
