La Familia del Barrio: La Maldición del Quinto Partido | Mala, corriente y aburrida | Crítica

Review of La Familia del Barrio: La Maldición del Quinto Partido (The Curse of the Fifth Game), a film that blends two great Mexican passions: cinema and soccer… to demonstrate why both can be profoundly frustrating. I analyze the humor, the story, the animation, and the use of the famous “curse of the fifth game” as a plot device, in addition to reviewing the Mexican national team's history in the World Cup and how this film turns mediocrity into its main selling point. Is it an irreverent comedy or a disaster? I'll tell you here.
