Product 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 (Dolores Heredia). 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 (Guillermo Francella), their lives change forever - but can they ever reconcile their brotherly differences?

A great film with good strong characters played well by Diego Luna and Gael Garcia bernal ,they were very believeable as brothers. I loved the simple naivety of the small town mexican boys finding fame and fortune. A comedy twist and packed with emotions this is well worth watching.

This is a sort of follow on to `Y Tu Mama Tambien' as it brings together the same team from that movie. It stars Diego Luna as Beto and his half brother Tato being played by Gael Garcia Bernal. They work on a banana plantation and struggle to make a decent living - dreaming of the day that they can fulfil the promise they made to their mum and actually build her the house she has always wanted.
Then while they are playing a game of football, a wandering talent scout has the misfortune to get a puncture in their town. He watches the match whilst drinking cold beer and awaiting the repair. He then says they are both good enough to play at club level, but he will only take one. They decide which with a penalty shoot out -as one is striker and the other a goalie.
Tato wins and its off to Mexico city, where he gets to meet the rich and famous and indulge his real passion of singing - badly. He pesters Baton the coach into finding a place for his brother and he manages to get him one.
The story is about love, envy, greed, pride and the sudden realisation that the higher you get, the further you have to fall. There are some really great moral lessons in here all tied up with buckets of humour and real affection. It is a warm story told well, acted superbly and brilliantly written and directed by Carlos Cuaron. At ninety seven minutes it will be over leaving you wanting more, in Spanish (Mexican) with great sub titles, this was one of those films I had been meaning to see for a while and now can not belive I was missing out for so long - can not recommend highly enough.

too slap stick and silly for me , maybe the jokes just didnt translate and so it all seemed rather throw away and pointless .Maybe you just have to be mexican to really appreciate this ,I shall stick to the darker latin american thrillers in future . This just wasnt my type of movie.

rubbish
Absolute rubbish. The blurb makes it sounds really interesting, but it's boring and just not funny at all. I didn't even waste my time watching all of it!

Admittedly, I only went to see this film because I fancy Gabriel Garcia Bernal, but I loved it. Great to see him paired back with the other bloke out of Y Tu Mama Tambien (can't... Read more
