Rudo Y Cursi

Starring: Gael Garica Bernal and Diego Luna
Comedy Drama, 2008

Two brothers in Mexico are handed their ticket out of poverty when they are offered the opportunity to play professional soccer. Now that they finally have their chance and have hit the big time how will they handle it? You can take the man out of the barrio but you can't always take the barrio out of the man.

  • Spanish with English subtitles.
  • Watching these boys navigate their new town and new opportunity was kind of like watching a train wreck. You wanted them to succeed but at the same time you just knew that they were not meant for the good life. They just don't have the tools or wherewithal to handle it. Sadly.
  • These boys are taken totally out of their element and given a great opportunity but poor decisions stand in their way at every turn. Classic scenario
