Nacho Libre















A strange name for a movie ... watched the show last saturday night at The Cathay ... seats at The Cathay are comfortable ... but as usual the tidbits and snacks counters sell stuff at exorbitant prices and somehow I felt more expensive than other cinemas ... then long queues still formed at these counters ... bo bian ... if you gotta eat popcorn then you gotta buy popcorn ... or buy nachos to watch nacho libre

Jack Black is Ignacio but somehow his friends called him Nacho ... he is a cook in a mexican orphanage ... but gradually felt nothing in his life ... and has always like wrestling since he was young ... Lucha Libre is some kind of wrestling in mexican ... and a Luchador is a performer in Lucha Libre ... Thus the movie name Nacho Libre

Movie is something between a slapstick and a light hearted comedy ... several comical moments in the movies ... especially when he found his wrestling partner esqueletto ... a super thin guy .. who looks like he is from ethopia or somalia ... this combination is ultimate ... fat and thin ... they are earning good money though losing every match they play ... till finally Nacho got the chance to fight against champion ... forget his name ... some guy who is much bigger and muscler than him ... but Nacho will win lah ... won the match and money ...

De la Reguera who played the nun who came the orphanage is the pretty vase of the show ... Jack's love interest .. overall still watchable ... i give 6/10
