Thoughts:
Rudo y Cursi are two brothers living in a poor place in Mexico when one day a futbol (soccer) representative comes by and notices their awesome talent. Unfortunatly only one of them can go, but maybe in a year..possibly never, the other can go too. That's where the rivalry between these two brothers begins. That's not the only problem though. Cursi doesn't really want to be a soccer player, his dream is to become a famous singer while Rudo wants to be a famous soccer player and it would help to not have gambling problems....
This movie is awesome!! It's sooo dang funny and has a great story you can't miss it. I HIGHLY recommend it. Gosh I CANNOT tell you how many times I laughed out loud during this movie, it was that funny. I love it I love it. :)
It is such a great story about brothers. The ending is so dang adorable I loved it. Don't get me wrong, it's also pretty sad, but the message sent out--LOVE it! Okay maybe I'm repeating myself here but I can't help it okay. I really liked it. Now GO WATCH IT!
This movie will make you so sad at times then really happy then sad again then REALLY happy. :D Go!!!

Cool:
Cinematography, story, acting, humor, sibling relationships--all gives this movie a huge plus. :)

Not so cool:
I would have liked it if the soccer scenes were shown more. You don't really get to see the guys actually playing which kinda sucks. There's a reason for it but at the same time..I dunno I just would have liked a few more is all. Not to many but a few more.

Note:
The actor that plays Cursi looked so familiar to me then I looked his info up and found out he was the main guy in El Crimen del Padre Amaro (movie)! I knew I recognized him!! That movie is soooo sad! I saw it like two years ago when I was on vacation in Mexico visiting my grandparents. :D It's sooo sad! And in a way, the guy and girl, reminded me of one of my all time favorite books, The Cider House Rules. That movie is about a priest who ends up falling for a girl and ..stuff happens. It's super duper and SAD! I love it! :'( / :D
Another Note:
I completely forgot to post about it but Gael Garcia is the executive producer of the freaking AMAZING AWE INDUCING Sin Nombre. R.ed here. :) GO WATCH THESE MOVIES! :D
