Jack Black played as Nacho, a young man who was raised in a Mexican monastery and worked there as the cook. He takes it upon himself to rescue the holy place from financial ruin by joining a local ‘Lucha libre’ tournament and becoming one of the ‘luchadores’, a local Mexican term for wrestlers. Naturally, Nacho isn’t acting out of purely altruistic measures, as he wishes to help Sister Encarnacion (Ana de la Reguera), a beautiful Mexican nun who has recently arrived at the monastery, as well as the gaggle of young orphans who live there. See this movie for yourself if you like the basics of human nature and humor set in a monastery. As my dad and two younger sisters are Catholics, it is a poignant reminder of the vow of poverty that any priest and nun undertakes in their lifelong vocation. This is their religiously sacred life and they need to observe chastity. Quite a good movie and scenes were suited to subsistence life in a monastery, I must say.
