Vague dramedy about two brothers who rise from their life as impoverished rubes on a banana plantation to become soccer stars on opposing teams. Nowhere near the quality of “Y Tu Mamá También” in which both leading actors starred previously. The few feeble laughs the film delivers are far & few between, mostly satirizing modern Mexico’s narcotics-infested society. And its biting title & effective 5-minute ending seem entirely out of whack with the whole, which is generally spoiled by a lack of definition, crude production values, & tedious clichés galore.
