Nacho Libre

MPAA Rating:PG
Distributor:Paramount Pictures
Director: Jared Hess
Starring:Jack Black as Nacho, Ana de la Reguera as Sister Encarnación, Héctor Jiménez as Esqueleto, Richard Montoya as Brother Guillermo and Cesar Gonzalez as Ramses.

A man's gotta have skills. Unfortunately, Brother Ignacio, known simply as Nacho to his friends, has none. He cooks food for destitute orphans in rural Mexico, but he longs for bigger things-particularly glory in the arena of Lucha Libre, the uniquely Mexican form of wrestling in which masked men do battle for honor. Hoping to impress a newly arrived teacher, Sister Encarnación, and to raise money for the orphanage, Nacho dons a mask, cape and tights and becomes Nacho Libre, wrestling hero. Or not. Along with his rail- thin sidekick called Esqueleto (Skeleton), he loses fight after fight.

Although Nacho has a good heart and truly cares about the children, he tells lies to hide what he is doing. Nacho Libre also contains grown-up humor, gross- out gags, lots of wrestling violence and a few bad words. When it comes to Nacho Libre, Clubhouse kids might want to stay out of the ring.
