Rudo y Cursi (English: Rough and Cheesy) is a 2008 Mexican film starring Diego Luna, Gael Garcia Bernal and Guillermo Francella. It is directed by Carlos Cuarón (Alfonso Cuaron's brother) and produced by Cha Cha Chá Producciones (production company created by Alfonso Cuarón, Guillermo del Toro and Alejandro González Iñárritu).
The movie is a drama/comedy about two brothers from a rural lower class Mexican family with roots in a little "banana town" on the coast of Mexico, and fighting over who performs better in professional soccer. It is also a parody of contemporary Mexico's "narco-society" perceptions of life and values.
It was released in December 2008 in Mexico, and premiered at the San Francisco International Film Festival in April 2009. It was released on a limited basis on May 8, 2009.
This is Carlos Cuarón's first full-length movie—before Rudo y Cursi, he only directed short films.
The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on August 25, 2009.
