Nacho Libre - ACE Train Movie Review

Nacho is a young man who works as a cook in the Mexican monastery where he was raised. When the institution faces a financial crisis, Nacho decides that he must come to the aid of the house of God (as well as the beautiful young nun who has recently joined the order) by competing in the local Lucha Libre wrestling tournament. Donning a spandex outfit, mask, and cape, Nacho becomes a hero for the ages - but can he win the heart of a woman of the cloth?

Depending on your state of mind, this could be a super funny film or one of the dumbest movies you have ever seen. The plot is ridiculous and the acting, singing and wrestling is way over the top. It's obvious why kids love Jack Black and he's always a hit on the Nickelodeon TV shows. He has the type of humor that is really silly and immature. If you're looking for a quality comedy, this isn't it. However, if you're in a goofy mood (or you're 12, drunk or stoned) you might just laugh your @ss off... ooxxooXoXXx

Rating: 2 of 5 stars
Would I watch it again: No
Starring: Jack Black, Hictor Jimenez, Ana de la Reguera

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
