 andPOP | Movie Review: Nacho Libre is Typical Jack Black Humour
Black, who plays Nacho, is a man of God at a monastery filled with orphans and cooks their food.
Yes, it is gross, especially when Black has his shirt off, but after the first ten minutes of seeing his manly physique in tight "stretchy" pants, it all blurs together and is more funny than gross.
In between all this is some more gross-out humour as Nacho tries to win the affections of a nun, Sister Encarnación, played by Ana de la Reguera, in the monastery, who helps him get back on track and want to fight for the orphans (God frowns on fighting, unless it is for something good).

 "Jesus' Son" - Review - Great acting and black humour
Director Alison Maclean's follow up to Crush follows the tortuous journey towards redemption of a drug ravaged loser called "F**khead", played by Billy Crudup, stumbling through a series of unpleasant or off-beat incidents in 1970s America.
His name refers to the way everything he touches goes horrendously wrong, but what saved this movie for me from being too depressing was the humour and pathos in Crudup's performance which almost made me like the messed up character he plays.
His journey is shown in a series of separate segments, staying reasonably close to the style of the acclaimed short stories by Denis Johnson on which the movie is based.
