Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna reunite seven years after Y tu mamá también, bringing their charismatic chemistry to this rowdy, ramshackle football comedy. In a village in southern Mexico, brothers Tato (García Bernal) and Beto (Luna) dream only of saving enough to build their mother her dream home, but when a talent scout glimpses them playing football, they suddenly find themselves living the high life of star athletes. Caught up by their own demons and limitations at the peak of glory, bitterness begins to brew between the two when they are forced to compete on opposing teams, as the film explores brotherly rivalry and the search for fame.

It mixes soap-opera sentimentality with playful, jumpy aggression and dresses a bittersweet, rags-to-riches fable in the bright clothes of pop satire. New York Times
