    Storyline

    Edit
    Nacho (Black) is a monastery cook, who spends his day feeding orphans and being overlooked by the monastery. When Sister Encarnación (Reguera) arrive at the monastery, Nacho realises that the only way to win her affection and to save the children, will be by competing as a Luchador wrestler. —FilmFanUK

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The song that Jack Black sings at the party was improvised.
    • Goofs
      When Sister is reading the letter delivered by Esqueleto, we hear Nacho's voice. When she gets to the second page, the words on the page do not match up with what is being said.
    • Quotes

      Nacho: I'm not listening to you! You only believe in Science. That's probably why we never win!

      Esqueleto: We never win because you are fat!

    • Crazy credits
      The Nickelodeon Movies bumper at the beginning of the film is used with dinging bells at a wrestling arena.

    Nacho Libre
    Jack Black is fun. Even though the movie is just sort of ok, he manages to elevate it a little from meh to alright. Even so, this is definitely a goofy movie and that definitely won't appeal to everyone.
