Y tu mamá también (Spanish for And Your Mother Too[3][4][5][6]) is a 2001 Mexican road film[7][8][9][10][11] directed by Alfonso Cuarón and co-written by him and his brother Carlos.[12] It stars Mexican actors Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal and Spanish actress Maribel Verdú.
The film tells a coming-of-age story about two teenage boys who take a road trip with a woman in her late twenties. It is set in 1999 against the backdrop of Mexico's political and economic realities, specifically at the end of the uninterrupted seven decades of presidents from the Institutional Revolutionary Party and the rise of the opposition led by Vicente Fox.
The film's explicit depiction of sex, nudity, and drug use caused complications in the film's rating. In Mexico, the film earned $2.2 million its first weekend in June 2001, setting a new record for the highest box office opening in Mexican cinema.[13] In 2002, the film was released in English-speaking markets under its Spanish title, with a limited release in the United States. The film received critical acclaim and was nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards and as Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globe Awards.
