Film 308/365, Day 330/365 – Nacho Libre

Stupid, really really stupid but in a good way!  Jack Black is quite unbelievable as a Mexican but it all adds to the hilarity of it.  The best parts are of course the wrestling matches and the training which culminates in a battle royale for a large sum of money where the winner takes all.  Ridiculous, but that’s what I like about it.

Synopsis:  A monk who works as a cook at an orphanage has dreams of one day becoming a wrestler.  Then when Sister Encarnación arrives at the orphanage he has a new dream, to woo her.  His best hope of doing that is to show how well he can care for the orphans, but he’s on a very tight budget.  Eventually he enters a wrestling competition to win some more money for the orphans.
