The film stars Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal as two brothers that work on a banana plantation and they also play soccer for the village team. After a scout discovers one of them, let’s just say their lives change. You can debate if it’s for the better after you see the film.

All I’ll say is “Rudo Y Cursi” has a great script, fantastic acting, and it throws one curveball after another while you're watching. It’s a rare film because it’s not like anything you’ve seen, and it’s absolutely worth checking out.

Anyway, I recently got to speak with Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, as well as writer/director Carlos Cuaron. Both interviews are below the synopsis so take a look below. The Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna will make you laugh.

“Rudo Y Cursi” is the first film to reunite Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal since “Y Tu Mama Tambien”.  Beto (Diego Luna) and Tato (Gael García Bernal) Verdusco are brothers who work at a banana plantation and also play soccer for the village team. Nicknamed “Tough” because of his  personality and football style, Beto dreams of becoming a professional soccer player; Tato’s dream is to be a famous singer, and both share the dream of building a house for their mother, Elvira (Dolores Heredia). They have a change in luck when “Batuta”, a soccer talent scout, discovers them accidentally. Tato is the first to move to the big city where he becomes the star goal scorer for the prestigious Deportivo Amaranto (Amaranto Club). His baroque playing style earns him the nickname of “Corny”. Although Beto feels he has been betrayed and left behind, he soon travels to Mexico City to become the goalkeeper for Atlético Nopaleros (Nopaleros Team).

At the peak of glory, they forget all animosity, although it does not last long. At the very real possibility of fulfilling all of their dreams, the siblings must face an innate rivalry as well as their own demons and limitations. Beto is a gambler and allows his addiction to drag him down; Tato is unable to recognize his true talents and squanders every opportunity by pursuing a false idea of celebrity and status. The dream seems to slip through their fingers. And it is at their worst moment that the brothers find forgiveness trying to help each other while casting headlong towards their individual destiny.
