A faithful reader sent me this movie review. He goes by the name “Chalupo.”

So I was watching this movie called Nacho Libre, and it’s doing so good that they are already coming out with a sequel on June 28th—at least that’s what the previews showed. I think it was called Nacho Returns or something, but this time our hero Ignachio has super powers. This time he has Eagle powers so he can fly, catch bullets in his eye, but is allergic to Kryptonite (I’m not sure what that means in Spanish, but I think it’s something bad).

There’s still red and blue stretchy pants, but that’s the only thing that Nacho 2 stays true to. Instead of corn on a stick, fat starving orphans, hot nuns, and iconic wrestling masks, there are explosions, a superhero pretty boy that makes all the girls in the movie jealous, and a wussy villian in a non-stretchy pants suit.

And speaking of the villain, I think his name was Lex Luche or something, and he wasn’t that impressive. He didn’t even have a mask! Mr. Luche is so jealous of Nacho’s pretty-boy looks—or maybe his red stretchy pants; I’m not sure—that he starts destroying the whole world. Except for Mexico. In fact I don’t think Mexico even exists in Nacho 2 at all. The makers of the first Nacho really forgot their Mexican wrestling roots in this one—which is sad.

So in conclusion, if you are looking for a fat wrestling friar to save the orphans check out the original Nacho. But if you want to see Nacho save the whole world, then maybe Nacho Returns is more your thing. Or not. What do I know? I’m just a man of science.
