Gael Garcia and Diego Luna reunited on in Rudo and Cursi

Best friends Gael Garcia and Diego Luna had to keep a bit of distance from each other for their latest big-screen outing. The Mexican heart-throbs have known each other since they were tiny but in Rudo & Cursi they play brothers consumed by sibling rivalry. The comedy drama follows the trials and tribulations of the brothers from a rural lower class Mexican family with roots in a little "banana town" on the Mexican coast. The sibling rivalry intensifies when the football-mad boys get a shot at professional soccer in Mexico City. The film's title roughly translates to Rude and Corny in English or Rough and Vulgar, depending on which dictionary you consult. It is the first feature-length offering from director Carlos Cuaron.
