Nacho Libre (2006)
10/10
Jack Black At His Best!
25 July 2013
Jack Black is widely known for his impeccable comic timing. The actor has delivered several hilarious performances all through his impressive career, but his work in 'Nacho Libre' ranks as his finest. And even as a film, its an enjoyable comedy!

'Nacho Libre' Synopsis: Berated all his life by those around him, a monk follows his dream and dons a mask to moonlight as a Luchador (Mexican wrestler).

Loosely based on the real life of Fray Tormenta, a catholic priest, who, had a 23 year long career as a masked Luchador. 'Nacho Libre' is funny from start to finish, what if some of the jokes are offensive. There is no major flaw in the narrative, because the protagonist's journey amuses & entertains.

The Screenplay Written by Jared Hess, Jerusha Hess & Mike White progresses wonderfully & is filled with comic moments. Jared Hess has Directed the film well. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are decent.

Jack Black's performance is truly worth applauding. He's flawless as Nacho.

On the whole, 'Nacho Libre' benefits from a funny script & a career best performance by its leading man. Two Thumbs Up!
