Jack Black, skintight pants, wrestling...we must be talking about Nacho Libre. The man behind Napoleon Dynamite, Jared Hess, follows up that cult favorite with this goofy comedy starring one half of Tenacious D. Jack Black transitions from trying to tame Kong to trying to conquer the wrestling world in a film that's backed by a major PR push from Paramount Pictures (try saying that 10 times fast).

Jack Black stars as a Mexican priest nicknamed Nacho who raises money for his orphanage by moonlighting as a lucha libre wrestler. Black also produced the film and has played a huge role in the pre-release publicity campaign, including shooting and starring in a series of behind-the-scenes videos entitled Jack Black's Confessionals which chronicle the making of Nacho Libre.

Nacho Libre wrestles for box office gold on June 16, 2006.
