Nacho (Jack Black) is a man without skills. After growing up in a Mexican monastery, he is now a grown man and the monastery’s cook, but doesn’t seem to fit in. Nacho cares deeply for the orphans he feeds, but his food is terrible – mostly, if you ask him, a result of his terrible ingredients. He realises he must hatch a plan to make money to buy better food for “the young orphans who have nothing” - and if, in doing so, Nacho can impress the lovely Sister Ecarnacion (Ana De La Reguera), that would be a big plus.
When Nacho is struck by the idea to earn money as a Lucha Libre wrestler, he finds that he has a natural, raw talent for wrestling. As he teams with his rail-thin partner, Esqueleto - the Skeleton - (Hector Jiminez), Nacho feels for the first time in his life that he has something to fight for and a place where he belongs. ,br>As Lucha is strictly forbidden by the church elders at the monastery, Nacho is forced to lead a double life. Disguised by a sky blue mask, Nacho conceals his true identity, as he takes on Mexico’s most famous wrestlers in a hilarious quest to make life a little sweeter at the orphanage.

I loved this film. I am not a fan of Jack Black, but this was so funny especially the skinny guy. It is very silly so as long as you expect it to be you wont be disapointed

Good Greif!
What a film. If you are thinking about watching this one I hope you did bring a bag or a heat em eat em box of Nachos because that's the only thing you will enjoy while watching this one.
Tenacious D.. I mean Jack Black plays a Monk who also likes to wrestle and collect bags of Nachos for the orphaned kids.
That's it.
Seriously....
If you crack a smile or laugh out loud during this film you need to get out more. In my opinion this is a belly flop like no other. A flat and at times painful to watch performance by Jack Black and his side kick, whom would have been more amusing if he were actually a broom rather than just looking like one, this film is truly a cinematic torture.
