summary:
Jack Black stars as Nacho in ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ director Jared Hess’ newest feature, ‘Nacho Libre’.
Nacho works as a cook at the same Mexican monastery where he was raised. He spends his days serving the
monks and orphans he loves, but secretly, Nacho dreams of becoming a Luchador. When the orphanage is
threatened with financial ruin, Nacho begins moonlighting as a wrestler by joining a local wrestling tournament.

my thoughts:
The directing of this movie is really reminiscent of 'Napoleon Dynamite' in its eccentricities, so if you liked 'Napoleon Dynamite'
then definitely go see this movie. Also, I loved Jack black in this movie, he really brought an added touch of weirdness to this already weird movie.
Jared Hess made this movie into a sub physiological comedy where you watch it and it becomes funnier because of how serious every actor takes this comedy.
All in all if you ignore the odd nature of this film, this film has a nice beginning, good flow,
good conflict and a very good ending (with some very funny scenes done by jack black and his fellow luchador).
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and left the theater with an oddly good feeing.
recommended audience: anyone with an open mind willing to watch this movie the whole way through
CHICK FLICK RATING: 3 out of 5 (1 is 100% action and no romance, 5 is no action but 100% romance)
reasons: -the whole basis of this movie is wrestiling, which is 'action'
-one of the main reasons any action is done in this movie is for the love of a woman,
thus including romance into it
MY RATING: 7 out of 10
reasons: -the fact that this movie is trying to be funny by being wierd doesn't take away the fact
that is is hard to watch
-I liked the movie's start middle and end (had a nice flow)
