Celebrity culture is gently mocked in this sweet Mexican comedy about two brothers whisked out of poverty in a backwoods town and thrust into football stardom. Beto is happy with this turn of events, but his brother Tato sees sporting success only as a route to pop career, blithely ignoring the fact that while he is a pretty good striker, he's a hilariously dreadful singer. Fame proves a tricky business in a film that is packed with great moments.
Imagine if your idol became your life-coach. That's exactly what happens to a postman from Manchester in Ken Loach's feel-good film.
