Fresh off its New York premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, Rudo y Cursi stars Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal as warring Mexican brothers who work at a banana plantation until they get a shot at the big time in a pro soccer team. Nathan Rabin at the Onion says it "begins as a delightful satire of the tackiness and crass excess of the nouveau riche, blessed with the same loose, improvisational, French New Wave-inspired vibe, stellar performances, and dynamite chemistry of Y Tu Mamá Tambien. Yet [director Carlos] Cuarón’s light touch abandons him once the film takes an unfortunate detour into contrived melodrama...Rudo Y Cursi barely survives its third-act Goodfellas descent into seedy coke-and-crime drama."

just saw ST today before the super nerds. it was stunning. i like the fact that spock gets jungle fever.
Without Shatner as Kirk, it isn't Star Trek.
damn, the shows are sold out. :(, live long and prosper bitches.
I hate it when a director's Pinterian abstractions come off as forced.
I saw it last night. So good.
I just saw it at the Pavilion on Prospect Park and there the theater was still a quarter empty.
Weird for a Friday night opening of something like this.
Actually, I was kind of disappointed. This movie looks like a Long trailer for a new star trek series with the love struck Spock. Also without Shatner it isn't star trek. The movie was ok.
