Rough, Vulgar and Pointless

If you were tempted to re-live the amazing, seductive, transgressive beauty of Y Tu Mamá También with the new film Rudo y Cursi (English title: Rough and Vulgar), directed by Y Tu's screenwriter and featuring its two stars, Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, give it a miss.

Overloaded with so much potential, it stumbles from its opening scene, topples and falls so squarely on its face that one wonders how this project were ever green-lit. Julie and I escaped the condo for a showing, and decided to hit the Uptown for this evening's show. In retrospect, there are a hundred thousand things I wish I'd used those two hours for instead. You've been warned. ;)
