Ignacio/Nacho

A film that still befuddles us in some capacity, we still can’t figure out whether we like “Nacho Libre”. Jack Black is a favorite for many, and the film did not tank at the box office, but it was not exactly loved by critics, and it did not take Mexican wrestling to another level in popularity. As it stands now, Nacho Libre does not look like it has the legs to be a cult favorite, and without that status, it seems difficult to see Nacho making the Hall.
Esquelito

Many of the laughs that came from the inconsistent Jack Black effort, Nacho Libre, came from his tag team partner, the uber-thin Esquelito, played by Hector Jiménez. Jiménez has been tabbed as the Mexican Steve Buscemi (which is a compliment or an insult depending on your point of view), and we can’t imagine anyone else playing the sidekick here. Again, as with our commentary on Jack Black’s role, we still aren’t sure what we think of this movie, and wonder how much support either Esquelito or Ignacio will get.
