American comedy film that was released on June 16, 2006, by Paramount Pictures, though it was released in select theaters earlier. The script was written by Jared Hess, Jerusha Hess and Mike White. It was loosely based on the story of Fray Tormenta ("Friar Storm"), aka Rev. Sergio Gutierrez Benitez, a real-life Mexican Catholic priest who had a 23-year career as a masked luchador.
Nacho (Jack Black) is a young man who was raised in a monastery in Mexico and now works there as the cook. Fueled by his passion for wrestling, he dons a mask and cape and picks up a partner to compete in a local Lucha Libre tournament to try for the $200 prize so he can buy better food for the kids and achieve respect.
As the luchadores are; that he is particularly hostile to one friar, who behaves in a sanctimonious way toward him; and that he harbors feelings for the newly arrived denizen of the monastery, Sister Encarnación, with whom he has many favorites in common. It is partly to impress Sister Encarnación with the idea that he is a good man that Ignacio calculates his later actions.

I have seen this one NACHO LIBRE and I find it Hilarious...Being a Luchador was fun..and the singing of Encarnacio by Jack was Funny but he was a good singer though, I find it funny because of his facial expression when singing...
