[Has] a mess of cultural issues to reckon with, and Rudo y Cursi deals with them while offering an engaging rags-to-riches sports fantasy.

Carlos Cuaron, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Y Tu Mama Tambien, makes his directorial debut with this easygoing sports movie/family drama/musical comedy/crime story.

rotten:
Rudo y Cursi never quite figures out what it wants to be. Is it a sports comedy? A tale of sibling rivalry? A look at Mexico's gritty underbelly, set against a soccer backdrop?
– Calvin Wilson,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

fresh:
He's helped by charismatic, pleasingly ambivalent performances by all involved, and while a later penalty sequence is needlessly prolonged, it doesn't diminish the film's cumulative effect. Serious fun.
