Hilarious, satirical and melancholy, "Rudo y Cursi" may not go as deep as "Y Tu Mamá También," but it has a similar vivacity.

Apparently it's a hit in Mexico, which shows a remarkably generous sense of humour, given that Cuaron leaves no one standing. It's a funny movie but quite brutal.

A film that can't quite choose between the light and dark possibilities it conjures.

He's helped by charismatic, pleasingly ambivalent performances by all involved, and while a later penalty sequence is needlessly prolonged, it doesn't diminish the film's cumulative effect. Serious fun.

This is a movie enlivened by the two stars' goofy love-hate relationship, its all-pervasive cynicism and the film-maker's mischievous decision to keep his eye off the ball.

Audience Reviews for Rudo y Cursi

Jan 16, 2011The director that brought us Y Tu Mamá También (2001).A film soccer fans will love. Gael Garcia's and Diego Luna have such a strong chemistry. A story of two brothers (goalie and striker )that both want to become soccer stars. The story is simple two brothers play soccer in a small village. A talent agent then gets them to play soccer professionally. All things are going great they got out of poverty and have the luxury of the good life ie cars, money, big house, good looking girl ect. But happiness can't last forever. Rudo has a gambling problem and Cursi can't become a musician. The movie is funny and lighthearted and tells us that we should really know what we are getting ourselves into before it's to late. This movie plays it safe and simple the film does feel a bit predictable when watching it. Tho that shouldn't make you stop watching the film. I have an older brother and we both love soccer so I love this film because I can relate to it. Saying this the movie is good it isn't Carlos Cuarón best work but it's still good.Ricardo G Super Reviewer

Jul 24, 2010In "Rudo Y Cursi," Tato(Gael Garcia Bernal) and Beto(Diego Luna) are half brothers who work on a banana plantation and love to play soccer in their free time. While Beto is the responsible manager with a wife(Adriana Paz) and kids, Tato dreams of becoming a musician and possibly going north to Texas. One day on the way to a friendly soccer game, they encounter Baton(Guillermo Francella), a soccer scout, whose flashy red sports car has broken down. After watching the game and being duly impressed, he claims he can only take one brother with him back to Mexico City. Tato wins on a penalty kick with a bit of guile. Once he is settled on a team, he finds a place for his brother on a second division club. "Rudo Y Cursi" is an engaging enough movie that suffers from a lack of credulity in its story arc with the brothers having little trouble in their rise to fame and the tone is more fatuous than serious, with little new insight on the nature of fame. Compare this movie to the low key "Sugar" for instance. Some of the issues in "Rudo Y Cursi" may stem from Baton's narration, embellishing certain events while deleting other details, at the same time not forgetting his role in corruption. And there is an interesting twist on the big game. In the end, the movie, like the recent World Cup, just goes to prove that some people take soccer way too seriously.Walter M Super Reviewer

May 19, 2010Carlos tries to imitate the style of his brother. He creates a very rural environment and for that, I must highlight it, including our insatiable passion towards soccer. The parody version of "I Want You to Want Me" by Cheap Trick is the memorable element of iconic value in this comedy, but for the rest, there is nothing else but the typical from-mr.-nobody-to-famous-rivalry topic . Yes, the Bernal-Luna duo are back but for what matters, this is a movie not to be taken seriously, and we ask the Mexican filmmakers: How many more not-to-be-taken-seriously movies are you planning to release yet?? Haven't we had enough? 56/100Edgar C Super Reviewer

Apr 03, 2010gael garcia bernal and diego luna finally get together after 2001s y tu mama tambien, here playing two brothers, getting noticed around the same time for the big time, from there we see the up and downs of both there careers, one having a up the one minute and fortunes reversing, the next, a entertaining film, that deals with brothers in competition, and the world of football, the two guys are a great presence, and always watchable, the story never predictable, and two fortunes are on show, another great adition to mexican film.scott g Super Reviewer
