From King Kong to ring ding-a-ling, Jack Black is back as the big guy in a daring and nutty change of pace project. Paramount says, he's "Ignacio (friends call him 'Nacho'), a Mexican priest who moonlights as a lucha libre wrestler to raise money for his orphanage in this comedy from the creators of Napoleon Dynamite and the writer and star of The School of Rock."
Nacho Libre incorporates exaggerated shenanigans and subtle humor to corral its laughs, suggesting the unmistakable comic tone of Napoleon Dynamite. It's even crafted by that film's director, Jared Hess. Sweet.
