Nacho Libre (2006)
A monastery cook moonlights as a clumsy luchador, bringing absurd, feel-good action to hungry orphans.
Ignacio, a disrespected cook at a Mexican monastery, can barely afford to feed the orphans who live there. Inspired by a local wrestling hero, he decides to moonlight as the not-so-famous Luchador "Nacho Libre" to earn money for the monastery -- not to mention the admiration of beautiful nun Sister Encarnación.
