They both work on a banana plantation and live with their extended family consisting of their mother, abusive stepfather, sister Nadia, and Beto’s wife Toña and their children. The family are rural peasant class and are barely making ends meet. The brothers’ fortunes change when into their lives comes Batuta, a soccer scout. Despite their advancing ages, both Beto and Tato are naturally gifted at soccer, Beto as a goaltender and Tato as a striker. Playing professionally has always been Beto’s dream, although Tato has other professional thoughts. Batuta eventually recruits both for different teams in Mexico City. Beto’s and Tato’s fortunes rise and fall, the falls based on things which hold more passion for the brothers–Tato loves fast women, specifically television spokesmodel Maya, but he loves singing even more. He would give up his soccer career for one in Mexican country singing, if only he was any good. Beto’s passion is gambling. Although Beto is upfront and straightforward about most things, he would lie and cheat to hide his gambling problem and debts. They just need to keep these alternate passions in check to make their soccer lives lucrative ones..
Plot: Two brothers living a hard life of manual labor in rural Mexico have a simple dream: saving enough money to build their mother her dream house. But fate has other plans. A friendly game of soccer leads to first Rudo, then to Cursi being taken on by the nation’s top talent scout. Suddenly, they find themselves living the high life of star athletes: fame, fortune, fast cars and beautiful women.

Reviews:

Excellent movie
I saw this at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The two main characters are brothers and polar opposites in terms of the roles they have. One being fun, jokey laughable while the other is more gritty, serious and intense. Depending on who was on screen, the story weaved from pleasing comedy to suspenseful drama. The movie is based around the 2 brothers being plucked from banana plantation obscurity into footballing limelight but this is by no means a movie about football. It’s more about the the brothers yearning for fame and fortune and their determination to provide better lives for their loved ones. The directors and actors were present at the screening and asked the audience to watch this “not as a foreign movie but simply as a movie.” With that in mind, don’t go to see this looking for strong statement about Mexico City, go and see it for the story and acting itself.

The story may not be original BUT the film is alive with pure JOY
Carlos Cuaron both wrote the screenplay & directed this rather standard story of 2 brothers who besides caring (when not fighting) for each other , their families & most of all football.

We here in the USA call it Soccer.

They live & love life the way they love football. with complete intensity & devotion.

There are the usual stumbling blocks in there way, but they play right through them.

What makes this comic-drama stand out from the rest are its stars.

GAEL GARCIA-BERNAL & DIEGO LUNA

In real life both stars are friends from childhood & both have given first rate performances in other films.

They co-starred in ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien’ a few years back. They were superb in that & are the magnificent here.

All the performances are great, the entire production first rate, Gael even sings in this & is fine.

The movie is first rate entertainment, the football scenes are exciting. Story may be old fashioned but all else is fresh & new.
