Friar in the mask

Rating: 6/10 (11 June 2016)

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 wrestler
After 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.
