He's nacho average hero.
Ignacio, a disrespected cook at a Mexican monastery, can barely afford to feed the orphans who live there.

Not as fun as I expected it to be. <em>'Nacho Libre'</em> does do some things well, Jack Black is good and the wrestling scenes are mostly nicely done. However, I didn't really dig the rest of it - whether it be the laughter lacking humour, or the uninteresting story with the orphanage. It is at least a relatively short flick, but it isn't one I'd be in a rush to rewatch.
This is my all time favorite movie.
