"Nacho Libre," released in 2006, is a comedy film starring Jack Black as Nacho and Ana de la Reguera as Sister Encarnación. Loosely inspired by the true story of Fray Tormenta, a Mexican priest who became a masked luchador to fund his orphanage, the film blends quirky humor with an homage to Mexican wrestling culture. Upon its release, the movie received mixed reviews; critics praised Jack Black's energetic and endearing performance but found the humor uneven and the plot somewhat simplistic. Over time, however, "Nacho Libre" has garnered a devoted following and is now widely regarded as a cult classic. Its unique blend of absurd comedy, heartwarming themes, and memorable characters has led many fans to celebrate it as an underrated gem in Jack Black's filmography, maintaining a beloved status despite its initially lukewarm reception.
