Nacho Libre Movie Review 2006

Surprising misfire offers a few chuckles and the chance to see Black in spandex and a cape but not much else. Ignacio is a cook at a Mexican orphanage who assumes the alter ego of masked wrestler Nacho Libre in order to help out the tykes. He even has a tag-team buddy, skinny Esqueleto (Jimemez), and they somewhat resemble a cheap version of Laurel and Hardy. It's also not nearly as outrageous as the actual Lucha Libre wrestling it features.
