Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal are back in their first film together since their breakthrough performances in Alfonso Cuaron's film Y Tu Mama Tambien, with the new film Rudo y Cursi, which hits theaters on May 8. Luna and Bernal play two brothers who live in an impoverished Mexican village and work in a banana plantation, when they're given a chance at a better life as professional soccer players, after a talent scout discovers them. Beto (Luna), a firey and passionate goalie is nicknamed Rudo ("Tough") and Tato (Bernal), who harbors aspirations to be a singer, is nicknamed Cursi ("Corny") and their lives are transformed for better... and worse.
The film marks the feature directorial debut of Carlos Cuaron, Alfonso's brother who also co-wrote Y Tu Mama Tambien, and the first film produced under the new company Cha Cha Cha, which was formed my the Mexican filmmakers Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and Alfonso Cuaron.
