In Nacho Libre, the follow-up to his cult hit Napoleon Dynamite, writer/director Jared Hess casts the comedic Jack Black as the title character--a man of the cloth who secretly takes up Mexican wrestling in order to fulfill his dreams and earn a little extra scratch for a group of poor, hungry orphans. This offbeat comedy, built on the foundation of Jack Black unabashedly parading around in tights and putting on an exaggerated accent, frequently demonstrates the same quirky sense of humor as its predecessor, and fans of Hess' breakthrough project may find a lot to enjoy in this outrageous adventure.
