I wanted to love this. I am a devoted fútbol fan and thus always interested in quality film depictions of the beautiful game. In that way, "Rudo y Cursi" is decent: the fútbol, though sparsely shown, is believable and enjoyable. But the dominant story of the two brothers is rather miserable, quickly becoming agonizing to watch. The viewer can tell from a million miles away what tragedies will eventually befall the two. The film is stylishly made and pretty to look at, but unfortunately the story is redundant and the two lead characters are not likable enough.
