Rudo y Cursi

Crit

Well, I was hoping to be able to say that this would join the short list of my favorite fútbol movies, but as engaging as García Bernal and Luna are as the titular hermanos, the storytelling by writer-director Carlos Cuarón is rote and unsurprising.

Highlight is García Bernal's Cursi in a comically bad Spanish-language music video of Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me."
