Nacho Libre (2006)

  • What's it about?: A friar in a Mexican orphanage teams up with a street man to do luchador wrestling in order to get money to support the orphans.
  • Thoughts: It's good enough. It has a certain awkward charm to it. Could have done without the random farts sprinkled throughout that just don't really serve any purpose other than "haha, fat guy farted."
  • Rating: 7/10
  • Recommendation: Recommended
  • Tier: B
