Rudo y Cursi

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.

A sibling rivalry that transcends to the sport of soccer. The dynamic between Luna and Bernal is gold and their back and forth is believably relatable. A fun and engaging time.

Carlos Cuarón, brother of Y tu mamá's director Alfonso, lacks his sibling's swagger as a cinematic stylist, but the movie jogs along entertainingly enough, even if its shots don't always find the back of the net.

The skewering gives the background depth, but the brothers' relationships with their fame and each other are front and center here.

A sharp social satire of contemporary Mexico, held together by the slapstick glue of García and Luna's country-boy antics.
