Rudo y Cursi: Soccer, Fame, and Brotherhood
Written and directed by Carlos Cuarón, Rudo y Cursi is a quirky satire with a dark twist. The story follows two brothers named Beto (Diego Luna) and Tato (Gael García Bernal) on a familiar journey that takes them from humble roots on a banana farm all the way to professional soccer super-stardom.
Nearly seven years after Luna and García Bernal went road-tripping together in Y Tu Mamá También (also written by Cuarón and directed by his brother Alfonso) the two stars hardly look like they've aged and it's clear they had a good time reuniting on the set.
Buzz Interview: Gael and Diego Reunite and It Feels So Good
I still remember the first time I saw Y Tu Mamá También and I became just slightly obsessed with the lead actors of the 2001 Mexican film. Since then, actors Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal have become global stars, and both have gone on to work with a variety of talented directors including Jim Jarmusch and Gus Van Sant.
Now the two are reuniting onscreen in Rudo y Cursi (opening today) as brothers from the countryside who are recruited to play professional soccer in the big city.
Movie Preview: Rudo y Cursi
I talked a little bit about director Carlos Cuaron's comedy Rudo y Cursi when I was spotlighting movies to keep an eye on at the Sundance Film Festival, but at the time there was no trailer with English subtitles. Now there is, though, so I'm so excited to be able to share another look at this movie that reunites Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, the stars of 2001's Y Tu Mamá También.
I love each of these actors individually, and together they have great chemistry.

While I won't be heading down to the 2009 Sundance Film Festival this year, I will be sorting through the humongous pile of festival entries to share with you some of the films I think look most promising. From quirky documentaries to talented young filmmaker debuts to a potential runaway hit, Sundance is filled with entertainment possibilities. Here are today's selections:
An Education
Actress Carey Mulligan is getting a lot of attention at Sundance this year, as she's promoting not one but two films that both are receiving good buzz.
