Bustling and entertaining comedy about a pair of unlucky and shameless men carrying out an unstoppable search for a Comunion suit , but things go awry , resulting in unexpected consequences . Concerning Rafi (Alfonso Sanchez) and Fali (Alberto López ) , they are two roguish men married to two wealthy women . Fali is married to Cayetana (Carmen Canivell) who asks him for the Communion suit for their child , while his father-in-law Don Mauro (Carlos Olalla) harassing him to separate his daughter . Before Rafi agreed with a Russian gangster Petrov (Scott Cleverdon) a loan to dig a terrain where there is allegedly petroleum , and now he mobster asks for the refund . These incidents are complicated by the sudden irruption of a gorgeous wife , Lorena (Mar Saura) , who suffers a drug overdose at the bathroom . Later on , while going out here and there searching the communion suit , police and GEOs busting at a home , finding a drug stash . After the police raid , the two botcher friends escape with the dope pusued by gypsy people and cops . The two rogue colleagues will try to solve the situation anyway .
The former entry ¨El mundo es nuestro¨ played by Alfonso Sanchez , Alberto López as El Cabeza and El Culebra , concerned two tiny crooks at their thirties , decided to execute their great goal : to rob the Bankasur bank and flee to Brazil in the footsteps of the famous delinquent ¨El Dioni¨, then appearing and impresario charged with explosives , who threatens to kill himself and demands the presence of television to draw attention to his precarious economic situation , as turning what they promised to be a mere bank robbery in a full-time kidnapping with hostages and explosives . This second installment with the same actors results to be one an acceptable and funny comedy but inferior than the precedent one . This second entry ¨El mundo es suyo¨ is made in similar style with several fun and amusing scenes as well . As two colleagues have to get a communion suit , but events get worse . This agreeable picture concerns a duo of unfortunate crooks who swindle and deceive the people at whatever means and where everyone gets criticism where everyone can be identified . This is a comical and sometimes embarrassing account of two pals , a hilarious movie , fast , agile in the dialogues , and there are some nice jokes in the film and the cast , playing eccentric characters , make a cosy fit , however they bear a strong Andalucian accents , that's is why being hard to understand them , at times . It takes a simple concept , a duo of bungler crooks , their adventures and misfortunes throughout the Sevilla streets . Undertaking a criticism of the upper class people as well as the lower class from the personal , social , cultural , and economic perspective , while the two protagonists needing all of them , urgently , a lot of money to resolve their problems . In the film there are strange situations , swift frames , twists and turns ; but it especially contains ample touches of humor and irony . The flick interweaves fun comedy along with a social critical about the deep Spanish crisis , including a real critique to economic abuses , speculation ; as well as a little bit of suspense , pursuits and action . This film is made to entertain , and this movie , especially for a good time and a pleasant entertainment . And it results in a passable yarn , with a brief message about corruption and economical crisis . The flick packs rapid dialogue in strong Andalucian accent , silly incidents , fun plot twists , tongue-in-cheek , grotesque situations and above all , humor . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly cool . This film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few ridiculous . The characters are quite odd , grotesque and geek and the film races on at incredible speed . It portraits manners of society Seville and the Spanish social situation with a personal and extravagant style , including a wide range of everyday roles and real characters. It shows economic crisis giving a comic hint tipically Andalusia, with a mutual understanding film-audience.
It contains a colorful cinematography by Fernandez Pardo showing a glimmer Sevilla, Andalucía, and barrios as Triana . The motion picture was amusingly directed by Alfonso Sánchez at his second movie , being his film debut : El mundo es nuestro . Here filmmaker delivers a passable comedy , though with no originality , in which the main and support cast are frankly decent . Alfonso is usually a secondary actor , as Cinema as TV , who has played a lot of films in brief but significant interpretations , such as : Ocho Apellidos Catalanes , Ocho Apellidos Vascos , Grupo 7 , Kingdom of heaven , Star Wars episode II , Captain Alatriste , Hospital Central , among others's goal is to sneak into a birthday party.

Becoming well know after their small part in "7 apellidos Vascos", this comedy duo has becoming very successful in Spain; but if you are not from Andalucia you will lose many of the jokes.
The story is basic a road trip where one is being persecuted by the Russian mob and needs Euros 60K to pay his debt and ask to his friend (who is dominated by his rich wife) for help while looking for a first communion suit for the second one's kid.
There are a lot of political and social satire in every step of the trip. And things get very very complicated but not all the jokes very funny and/or not easy to understand for foreigners.
Having lived in Spain for some time. I feel that some of the absurd situations are exaggerated not that unrealistic.
If you take out some of the usual cliches; the movie manages to be funny but not hilarious.
In brief; I seeing a lot of worse things lately so give it a try
