MovieMail's Review

This vivid, funny and very likeable Mexican movie from Carlos Cuarón (Alfonso’s brother) sees half-brothers and banana farmers Tato and Beto living with their large peasant family (mother, abusive stepfather, sister Nadia, and Beto’s wife Toña and their children). Then one day a football scout spots them, takes them to Mexico City, and thrusts them into the overwhelming surroundings of a house, cars and money. While Rudo starts dating a gold-digging TV star, Cursi starts gambling and taking drugs and soon finds hiimself in serious trouble with a loan shark.

The relationship between the brothers (Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, reprising their coupling in Y tu mamá también) is brilliant – they are a hilarious mixture of tough and intense (Rudo) and fun and innocent (Cursi). Bernal’s wannabe pop singer in particular, hair dyed blond, acting as if he is the cheesiest man in Mexico, provides the film with its funniest moment with his hilariously bad rendition (complete with accordian) of ‘I want you to want me’.

This will certainly appeal to lovers of the films of Pedro Almodóvar. RS

Film Description

Mexican comedy drama starring Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal as Beto and Tato, rivalrous half-brothers who work on a dusty banana plantation and play football for their local team on their days off. Both men dream of leaving their poor hometown behind them and earning enough to build a dream home for their mother, Elvira. Beto, whose notorious temper on the field earns him the nickname of 'Rudo', dreams of becoming a professional goalkeeper, while Tato, nicknamed 'Cursi' owing to his fancy moves and trickery on the pitch, wants to be a famous singer. When the two are accidentally discovered by professional talent scout Batuta, their lives change forever - but can they ever reconcile their brotherly differences?
