Description: Nacho Libre (Special Collectors Edition) Description Jack Black is at his comic best as Ignacio, a disrespected cook at a Mexican monastery that can barely afford to feed the orphans who live there. Inspired by a local wrestling hero, he decides to moonlight as the not-so-famous Luchador Nacho Libre to earn money for the monastery -- not to mention the admiration of beautiful nun Sister Encarnacion. This Jack Black vehicle seems, on the surface, like a perfect fit for the actor: an opportunity to showcase Blacks unique style with the extreme facial gestures and exuberant physicality that have become his forte. Black plays Ignacio, a lowly cook in a monastery in central Mexico who feeds orphans by day, and wrestles in the town square at night. Ignacio teams up with Esqueleto (Hector Jimenez), a street urchin who tormented him, to form a tag-team duo that goes up against the strangest wrestlers Mexico has to offer. Besides doing it for money to feed the orphans, Ignacio is also fighting to win the forbidden affections of Sister Encarnacion (Ana de la Reguera) with predictable difficulty. While the movie has likeable characters and the plot is enjoyable enough, it cant overcome its plodding pace and formulaic structure enough to keep the movie interesting throughout. Jack Black is a very strong comedic actor, and the wrestling scenes offer plenty of chances for slapstick, physical comedy, but watching him run around in red briefs and blue tights amounts to half the laughs in the movie, and theres just not enough here for him to really work with. When he plays a more well-formed character, as in and High Fidelity, his strengths really show. But in Nacho Libre hes saddled with a caricature. Weighed down by too much low-brow humor and a script that goes nowhere, Nacho Libre just cant make full enough use of Blacks talents to overcome the obstacles. --Daniel Vancini Features: Product Details: Is Discontinued By Manufacturer : No MPAA rating : PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) Product Dimensions : 0.57 x 5.35 x 7.58 inches; 2.28 Ounces Director : Jared Hess Media Format : Multiple Formats, Closed-captioned, Collectors Edition, Color, Dolby, NTSC, Special Edition, Widescreen Run time : 1 hour and 32 minutes Release date : October 24, 2006 Actors : Jack Black, Ana de la Reguera, Efren Ramirez, Héctor Jiménez, Darius Rose Subtitles: : English, Spanish Producers : Alexander Westerman, Ben LeClair, Benjamin Cooley, Damon Ross Handling We will ship all orders within 1 business days of payment.
