It's About A Religious, Mexican, Monk, and His Nucleus.
23 March 2022
Welcome to Nacho Libre. He's not a chip. He's just an overweight, Mexican, monk that doesn't believe in Science. Nacho does more than the average church goer. He devotes his time to feeding orphans, while serving the church and wrestles privately, under his ring name. Nacho suits up, in his wrestling stretchy pants and fights for the cause. No more of foods that causes diarrheas since Easters, but foods that are good for nourishment for orphans. No more of burnt breads, eaten off of floors, but freshly baked breads, from fresh loaves. Yes. Nacho is providing the lifestyle of the rich and famous, eating corn on the cobs and dressing in pricey boots and wearing dress pants that causes wedgies and underneath his wedgie is his nucleus.

Alongside Nacho is his friend Steven and together, they fight bad guy wrestlers and become Nacho N Cheese "Not literally in the film" haha.

Nacho and Steven are struggling Luchas/Wrestlers. Nacho is too fat, while Steven just believes in science. They both get desperate to win and Nacho eats from an egg on top of a mountain, believing to give eagle powers. But symbolic to the forbidden fruit, it's deception. Nacho soon finds his real power comes from within him, all along, which is the strength of courage.

Anyways Jack Black gives his best comedy performance in the film and Hector playing Steven is just as funny!

Overall the film is thoughtful. It does well with its inspiring note on a call to action! In a discrete way. Its rather thought provoking or food for thought. The film is one that many churches can learn by. Nacho is a doer, not a taker.

Anyways Nacho Libre is Religious/Family/Fun. For the whole family!
