- Quotes
Jorge W: Catch me up, Rudo, it's not me, I'm just the executive, I lead the operation, it's just that they want their money, that's obvious.
Beto: Well, tell them to rise my credit.
Jorge W: I swear to you, man, I'm really ashamed, but that's impossible. You got a Tsunami-like debt, dude.
Beto: I can overpay them if they want, just give me more time, please.
Jorge W: No, Rudo, I'd love to, but I really can't.
[to a market attendant]
Jorge W: Excuse me, you got Pampers Ultra Supreme?
[the attendant says no]
Jorge W: Shiiit! Look, Rudo, you ain't got a limit, you make huge bets, you love blow, man.
Beto: No, I only use that stuff because it helps me with the game.
Jorge W: C'mon, man, you know how many times I've heard that? And to make matters worse, you ain't got any backup, that's expensive stuff.
Beto: OK, please, last chance... last one.
Jorge W: No can do, no can do... Really, you got 15 days to pay them, and I'm playing it really cool, man.

FIRST: Let us FOCUS on the Title's Content and Context:
What great expectations I had for this film! And why not? Most of the Mexican films I've seen this year have received a well-deserved 4 Stars! Besides, this film boasts a redux of the pairing of Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, who starred together in "Y Tu Mama También". Remember the great portrayals they rendered in that film? The great on-screen chemistry they exhibited!?!
"RUDO" begins with the title characters as brothers; well, half brothers, anyway, working on a banana plantation in rural Mexico. RUDO started out OK, although most of the funnier bits were rooted in the cultural regional oddities demonstrated in the congenial non-stop string of obscenities and insults the two brothers hurled at each other.
I don't have to read subtitles in Spanish, but for those who do, I would imagine a lot of the humor would be lost because of them, and also because these regional cultural quirks are naturally lost in translation! As RUDO progressed, I increasingly became aware that my expectations were not going to be met. Like genetically engineered bananas...You know, the ones that take forever to ripen!... RUDO was picked too soon and served up green! The movie is funny and amusing, at times, but could have been a hell of a lot better, if everybody hadn't been so forced, if they all hadn't TRIED SO hard...to be funny!
If they ALL hadn't been so stressed, I could have forgiven that RUDO's basic premise revolves around two 30-ish banana ranch worker brothers, who play local soccer on weekends, suddenly becoming the BEST soccer players in all of Mexico! That's a lot of suspension-of-disbelief!
BTW...Don't miss the music video in Special Features...Las chicas Mexicanas try just hard enough! Barely limps in w/6*******.
BUT.... ANYWAYS.... ENJOY! / DIDFRITELA!
