See You in Montevideo (2014)

*****SPOILERS********While this can be an enjoyable comedy the historical inaccuracies (on facts that can be checked on Wikipedia by a 10 years old) are so big that they invalidate the whole movie.Uruguay depiction reminds the image of Mexico given by a bad American action movie from early 80's, a tropical dusty place where people wear white hats and white suits, eat coconuts and have monkey pets. There are reports from 1930 WC that say that there were SNOW falls during the Cup so hardly a tropical country. Moreover Uruguay was a much developed and "European" country than Yugoslav itself back then, receiving scores of European immigrants every year (including people from Yugoslavia).The Brazilian team is shown as having all black players which at the time were banned from the national team. If you do "Brazilian national team 1930" in Google you will see a lot of pictures with not one single African-Brazilian player on them. Their jersey was not yellow and no, they did not have a witch-doctor that looks like taken from the "Tintin in Congo" comic book to curse their rivals. Finally, while is entirely possible that Uruguay was, in fact, favored in the semi- final match against Yugoslavia there were in no case mobs with torches in the stands threatening with lynching the Yugoslav players, case they won. By the way, they lost that match by a 5 goals difference and that is not explained by some doubtful play in which the rival might have been favored. Sorry but it is impossible to enjoy a movie which feeds so freely on stupid stereotypes and gross historical inaccuracies. They all make it look cheap and lightly produced.

Well, I've seen this movie because it's about an event that happened in my country, (Uruguay) and am very fond of football. 1) It looks like if the championship took place anyplace, except in my country. To me it seems to be Mexico,not Uruguay at all. 2) I know the Estadio Centenario very well, it's a world football monument, and the capacity of the stadium wasn't as big as it seems in the picture,what is shown on the movie is the actual capacity, not the one when in was founded, in 1930. 3)A tremendous mistake : Remember it was 1930, and it's shown a plasma or LSD flat TV showing a game between Peñarol(Uruguay) and Santos(Brazil) that took place in 2011 and the famous Neymar was on it. 4) A don't complain about the plot , the actors, the director or the technical details of the film, but the errors are so big , that spoiled the whole thing .It would have been much better if the people involved in the movie would have taken more time to inform themselves of the country, the habits, (the Brazilian fans are shown as if they were Indians from the Amazon), the food we consume, etc. Ours is a beautiful country, why didn't they did it in situ ? Really disappointing

I went to the cinema to watch this movie expecting something similar to the first one, imagine my surprise when I watched perhaps best movie ever. I know that most would disagree, because taste is unique for every person. Acting in this movie is great, actors that no one heard of before "Montevideo, Bog te video" are really amazing. Spanish actress Elena Martinez is mind blowing. I really believe that beginning like this will make Dragan Bjelogrlic not only one of the best Serbian actors, but the best Serbian director. Story itself is fantastic, at the same time this movie will make you laugh and cry, it is a great story about people and how can one event change them completely. Moreover, this is the ultimate story about friendship.Unfortunately, this movie (even though the story is universal) will only people from ex-Yugoslavia understand entirely. Further more, many people will criticize because in the end it says this was the biggest success of Serbia (that was biggest success of Yugoslavia), but such line should not put a shadow over such great movie.

Can't give it a 10, but movie is great…chance to see what was the football when it was played from love to the game, and to see beginnings of interference of managers and money. Of the topic, mr. Petarmatic, at first i thought the same, wtf Serbian best position when Yugoslavia played, then I read about and saw that only Serbian players played, and Serbia has all the right to be proud of its best position in the World cup. Your comments of the Serbian aggression were not pertinent for this site, and are rather one-sided. Couple hundred thousand of Serbian people was expelled from theirs homes and killed in "Serbian aggression" so please edit your comment and keep commenting the movie only.
