Nacho Libre...a movie that dreamers seem to understand.

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2006)

My first thoughts of this movie were: "Either this is going to suck or get popular in a year like Napoleon Dynamite". My impression from the commercials was: "God...this is Nickelodeon crap, nobody's gonna care". I was mistaken.
Nacho Libre is about a Catholic monk named Ignacious (Jack Black) living in rural Mexico who works/lives at a center that cares for orphans. Ignacious has always dreamed of becoming a wrestler, Nacho. He soon learns that he cannot hid his secret life from Sister and the orphans, so he makes a decision.
Anyway, I'd found Nacho Libre to be an interesting movie. The plot was interesting enough, a monk gone wrestler. Ignacious and his friend (a misfit Ignacious had met in an alley while buying chips) perform funny gestures to get into the wrestling business and find themselves sitting ducks. Let's get to the point: Pros: *Interesting plot *Lush colors *Fast-paced *Hidden humor *Monty Python-esquire humor
Cons: *Acting bordered on poor *Jack Black cannot imitate a Spanish accent to save his life *4 Camera angles were used the whole time. *A bit too religious.
Overall, Nacho Libre is just a good time movie.
