Tetrady not as good as all the hype
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
splatcraftz This work of art actually opened up the world of God to me.It's funny, you get that sweet Mexican respectable accent from Jack Black himself, and you also get a better movie than Ready Player One will ever be. I'm impressed with the acting. It was funny, spicy, and feisty. A lot of which is greatly appreciated among my people (Jack Blackers). I thought at first Jack was surrounded by Spanish speaking people and WOW, I looked it up-- I have research-- but this man speaks a beautiful imitation of that of a Mexican accent. Lovely. Read me bedtime stories, Jack.Anyway, referring to the rest of the film-- people, calm down! It wasn't meant for its literal reference to religion and wrestling, but rather a satirical based film in which it pokes a good balance of playful fun and a touch of reality.Ever have a bad day? Watch Nacho Libre.(it rhymed, give me credit here) Bless up, what a lord.thank you
Micah Van Dyke Nacho Libre is a fun action filled family friendly movie. Starring Jack Black as Nacho Libre as an orphan in a orphanage in Mexico. Ever since he was a little boy he has dreamed of becoming a louche lour(Mexican wrestler) but the religion of his orphanage forbids it. The leader of the orphanage says it is not the lords way. The orphanage is running low on money and food so all they get to eat is muck and chips. Nacho is tired of it so he sets out to be a louche lour. One day he is in an alleyway grabbing the chips for the orphans he is attacked by a scrawny hobo named Stephen Nacho realizes his speed and great strength. They become partners and there training begins. There first fight comes around and it turns out they aren't very good Nacho is angry but Stephen doesn't really care. The referee comes out and throws them a pack of money and they realize this could be the turning point for the orphanage watch the movie to find out. This movie is action filled hilarious and family friendly if you like all of those things this is the movie for you!
CyberSpaceGod As a multitude of films that have some soulless being translating the name.. Names shouldn't be translated, much less movie titles, the way they are in Portuguese is so awfully done..The title in Portuguese should be: "Nacho Livre (2006)" and not the nonsensical one it has: "Super Nacho - O Herói do Wrestling (2006)", a really bad translation for a title..Bad movie title translations on the side, good movie..P.S.:Please stop the person/people who translate movie titles on IMDb from doing it, they are ruining the IMDb image and changing the movie story/experience with that..
Ian Powell This film hits audiences immediately with its playful and friendly humor, which it sustains very well throughout the film. I have seen this film a good many times and each time I watch it I still find myself laughing and having a good time. The characters are well developed and you want Jack Black to succeed. The supporting cast also does a fantastic job of moving the story along, and adding a quirky but real feeling to the entire film. Every person in the film doesn't go over the top in presentation. So even the crazy wrestlers make sense. This is a great family flick and is entertaining for both kids and adults alike. Definitely give this movie a watch.
