Editorial Reviews
"RUDO Y CURSI scores from every angle -- comic, personal and cross-cultural....Cuaron's rich narrative courses through an array of personal obstacles, all of them universal and readily identifiable."
Hollywood Reporter - Duane Byrge (01/17/2009)
3 stars out of 4 -- "It's a pleasure to watch the chemistry and engaging humor between actors who clearly enjoy each other's company....Such is the case with the Mexican stars of RUDO Y CURSI..."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (05/11/2009)
"[T]he arrival of the puckishly entertaining, fleet-of-foot drama-comedy RUDO Y CURSI deserves a hearty welcome....RUDO Y CURSI pulses with life..."
Los Angeles Times - Robert Abele (05/08/2009)
"RUDO Y CURSI is a sly miniaturist pleasure on its own terms, a piquant fable about the bouncing ups and downs of success, failure, competition, and comradeship." -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (05/15/2009)
"RUDO Y CURSI lives up to its name, as do its sweet and scrappy heroes....With a winning measure of swagger and style."
New York Times - A. O. Scott (05/08/2009)
3 stars out of 4 -- "This isn't a sports movie, but a human comedy, and depends on the effortless chemistry between Luna and Garcia Bernal, who evoke, like real brothers, the ability to love and hate each other and push all the right buttons."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (05/13/2009)
"RUDO Y CURSI begins as delightful satire of the tackiness and crass excess of the nouveau riche, blessed with the same loose, improvisational, French New Wave-inspired chemistry of Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN." -- Grade: B
A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin (05/07/2009)
3 stars out of 5 -- "Soccer provides the backdrop for this rowdy, ramshackle comedy....[G]ood-natured fun..."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (05/28/2009)
