The director of and the rockstar, Dewey of <School of Rock> came together to create a humorous luchador-monk movie starring Jack Black.  This may perhaps be the best comedy feature of the summer, combining Black¡¯s witty sense of humor and acting skill with the masterful direction of Jared Hess.  

The plot is simple, or so it seems.  An orphan turned monastery cook, Ignacio works hard to feed the orphans of a Franciscan Mission.  However, when a beautiful Sister Encarnación comes to teach the orphans, and a frenzied street-dweller steals the precious tortilla chips, Ignacio must don the mask and become Nacho, a luchador extraordinaire.  In order to train to become a luchador, Nacho seeks help from the thief Esqueleto, who also turns from a thief to luchador.

            
Once again, we see how amazing Jack Black is at integrating into different roles, particularly this one.  From the genius hacker in to the crazy director in , Jack Black proves he can handle anything from comedy, action, to drama.  His work in is far more entertaining than his stunt in <School of Rock>, combining subtle wrestling humor with an ultimate sidekick who says ¡°I only believe in science.¡±

            
The soundtrack complemented the humor, combining random Spanish/English chants to a catchy beat and tune.  Jack Black¡¯s ridiculously funny looking stretchy pants outfit of Nacho, and his partner Esqueleto steals the scene just by the major contrast in weight and his random yet well timed lines.  Arguably the best part of the movie is the dating sequence where Nacho tries to woo over Encarnación by wearing expensive clothes and planning to fight bad people on the street, supplied by his sidekick Esqueleto.

            
In essence, the movie is a comedy in tune with the old SNL skits and Jack Black¡¯s Tenacious D persona.  It is filled with slapstick humor and silliness that makes people laugh like crazy.  Some critics may view this movie as predictable, but that¡¯s because the critics are too critical and overanalyzing the storyline aspect of the movie and downplaying its graceful humor.
