Slightly delayed but last week I saw 'Rudo Y Cursi' its a film about two brothers in poor, rural Mexico who get scouted for football teams and get caught up in the crazy world of fame. Its a fast paced, foul mouthed comedy but with a real heart (think Y Tu Mama Tambien.) The chemistry between the two leads- the divine Gael Garcia Bernal and wonderful Diego Luna is both wickedly funny and sweet and touching, they complement each other perfectly and both of them are just super talented, wonderfully gifted actors. And I for one would like to start a campaign for them to be in movies together more often. Although its about football its not just for sports fans its very accessible and focuses more on the pitfalls of the fame that comes with sporting success than on the actual football matches. In particular Gael Garcia Bernal's song is a stroke of genius, with accordions and cowboy hats! Its warm, witty and a real gem of a film.
