  • i fuckin love this movie

    haha cracks me up everytime

  • I'm from Mexico but I didn't like it because I'm fed up with Mexican cinematographers making tragic films

  • I agree with everyone, you have to be familiar with mexican culture to fully understand this film. Its another great movie with two great actors who turn out great work everytime they work together. You definetley cant translate it to english it just wouldnt be the same. This is a time where i feel im extremly lucky to speak spanish. I cant wait to see whats next for these guys.

  • Yeah, the film was very predictable. As soon as Batuta told them that he was a football talent scout, I knew things weren't going to end good. However, it was a very fun movie to watch.

  • This movie is pure fantasy...I know, I agree that it is a badly made movie, but it is all FANTASY. These things don't really exist in real life and are supposed to be a parody of what really happens in real life, and as in parody, there is comedy. Yeah it's a comedy, but that doesn't mean that it's supposed to make you laugh all the time. It means that Mexico and Mexicans (the ones in Mexico) are making fun of themselves, or just ridiculing stereotypes people may hold about them.

  • @Cpillin425 Wait what? Off course it happens!

  • que pedo cabron con estos pinches gringos hablando de las peliculas mexicana alrato van a estar hablando de alberto rojas el caballo o del zayas lol

  • This movie was made pretty much for mexico only, if you like real "mexican" culture from mexico, you will understand it, and love it, its a raw movie that shows the reality of the soccer in mexico, and if you like soccer, you will like the movie even more

  • .....Also in one of Gael Garcia's movie "Amores Perros" Its translated into Loves' a Bitch" in the movie..actually its a much more complicated title, you just cant translate it into simple words..so that is why it is very difficult to fully understand Mexican flicks because of its distinct culture and its vocabulary..

  • yea i bought this movie in mexico before it was released here in the states... im from from south texas so im fluent in spanish..so now i have the blu-ray and i continue to watch it without the subtitles...i was hessitant to recomend it to my girl....although she is mexican her spanish is not as fluent as to really understand the culture and the vibe that this great movie is supposed to give... you just cant translate this movie into another language

  • @lostboyx Just like George Lopez said, You can't translate Spanish to English. Am from South Texas. And my girls are 15 and 18 and they just were all freaked out with all the foul language they were using. So am glad am Mexican decedent.

  • @bungee422 Its because its a raw movie, like "amores perros", i love this kind of mexican cinema, its the right path of what mexican filmakers should make, its what we love in mexico, for me this movie was better than most of what hollywood offer, there is another good one that people liked "matando cabos"

  • Ajajaja, these critics don't really understand the movie. Unless you are familar with Mexican culture or are actually Mexican, it will be difficult to thoroughly understand the meaning, the humor and the film overall.

  • estos gueyes no le entendieron, por eso no les gusta.

  • The movie is awesome!!!!!

  • it they are going to review a mexican film, HAVE A MEXICAN THERE TO PRONOUNCE THE SPANISH WORDS RIGHT!!!

  • I'm sure everyone in Mexico pronounces all English words correctly, right? Be quiet.

  • the thing is that these guys are suppose to be professionals you idiot, not random people they picked up at you local Hot Topic.

  • These are professional movie critics not linguists.

  • @jordinho13 no thats why we speak spanglish..

  • haha fucking gringos why the fuck u watch it the jokes are spanish not fucking english u will no get them

  • wooooow this movie was amazing!! haha these guys r retarded!!!!! predictable???!!!! r u fucking kidding me every fucking hollywood movie is 10 times more predictable, always happy endings. this movie was amazing, but yes u have to be fluent in spanish to realy get a grasp of it.

  • great movie , latino fans will "get it" these white people dont know shit..--Esta chida la Peli selas recomiendo

  • lol did americans also saw this movie im mexican

  • I love the guy who said he wanted to see more soccer to see what it was like and didn't like the movie because of that.

    Uh, the movie was made for a Mexican audience and not for us. Why should they be teaching the people of Mexico about the sport they love? Such American centric attitudes here, I thought this movie was awesome.

  • These Fucken white trash dont know what the fuck they are talking about!!! I give the movie nice ten!!!! Its great to watch if you are a fluent spanish speaker and if you reading off the subtitles its really not the same thing as understanding what they are saying through out the movie in spanish!!

    But people dont listen to these pathetic WHITE PEOPLE who really dont have shit but to put people in WAR!!!!!!!! kindda out of the subject, but it pissed me off to see these IDIOTS whore are SHIT!!!!

  • chill back

  • ew fuck these white ppl ESPECIALLY that ignorant bitch at 2:40

  • jeje sierto ....

    la peli esta genial y a mi

    me encanto esta cancion

    jajaja....

    tira un buen apoco no??

    yo te vi, yo te vi, yo te vi

    iorando jajaja

  • osea q les pasa a esos criticos , solamente nosotros los mexicanos entendemos el verdadero sentido de esta peli esta super genial XD ...

  • The movie is good in general terms and is definitely not good for somone that has no idea about the mexican-spanish language... and about the face mask.. lets give the real value to the comment.. coming from here.. means nothing.. ignorant!

  • I enjoyed the movie very much, and I agree with the comments prior to mine. You'll enjoy it and understand it better being fluent in Spanish and even more so having grown up around Mexican culture. I'd recommend it.

  • Rotten tomatoes gets a -69 for their review. I agree with a few comments made by people on here, If you are not a fluent Spanish speaking person, don't watch it. And if you do not already have a soccer knowledge background, don't watch it. Overall I would give it a 4/5.

  • Wow, you guys really missed the point of this movie. Just cause you read the subtitles doesn't mean you got the joke. This movie was an easy 9 out of 10. Although I do agree it was a bit predictable.

  • yeah, what is it about that face mask?? stupid bitch, swine flu was so overrated, i tell ya, i live in mexico and nothing really happened, i actually thinkl more people died from other diseases then swine flu.. ¬¬

  • without the need of a face mask? kind of a low blow from that stupid cunt

  • that women isn't funny, if she's a comedian, she quit her job. if she's not, she should stop trying.

  • You can't read it, it's in white font. It says "YOU'RE FUCKING RETARDED."

  • the thing is.... you can't fully appreciate the comedy irony and drama of the movie if you are not mexican or are very close to the regular life here.

    From the language they use to some situations that are part of mexican pop-culture that i don't believe are known outside of mexico, all this things make the movie so good.

    movie was definitely made for a mexican audience, as HUEVARA1 said.... "gringos won't get it"

  • Pues simon esos gueyes no le van a enterder ni madre.

    Hecha por Mexicanos para Mexicanos, Please go watch a stupid Hollywood movie.

  • hey, don't go around bashing Hollywood movies

  • haha 69 :P

  • gel garcia bernal is soooooooooooooooooo awsome!

  • Los gringos no la van a entender...

  • what?i really disagree , but i guess because im mexican and US people might not get all the irony on it, the language is hilarious, but i cannot belive they said the ending is predictable, is totally inusual,its in the basics predictable, but when you try to explain it its just anti climatic and ironic. i expected a sad ending where they blew it up, but not that way.Other great thing about his movie is the analogies and the narrative, because even if you dont like foot ball this is a great movie

  • Also this movie was made because 1000s of people go to Mexico city to tryout for soccer teams. but as you can see things don't always go as plan in Mexico City.

  • first commenter?

  • first asshole is more like it
