    • Trivia
      The movie was somehow considered prophetic. In that year, the Colombian soccer team lost several games in the Japan Korea 2002 World Cup qualifiers and many for the final round of penalty kicks. Colombia would not participate in a soccer World Cup again until Brazil 2014.
    • Goofs
      The film indicates that the Colombian soccer team plays the World Cup qualifying matches at the El Campin Stadium in the city of Bogotá. The matches of the Colombian soccer team are played at the Metropolitan Stadium in the city of Barranquilla. (Although not in the 2000s)

    This movie contains intelligent humor and good humor.
    If there is something that everybody receives in Colombia it is the soccer. To this the writing Dago García with this movie on a fanatic that bets the savings of its life in a soccer game. Dago García manages an intelligent humor being able to make laugh to the spectators that attend to observe this movie, loosing the biggest laughter in its lives. Enrique Carriazo and Robinson Díaz is spectacular, because an actor to be able to give laugh to a person is complicated. Jim Carrey is devoted to out single movies of Comedy, and I am this Great actor's admirer, but in spite of all the foolishness that he makes in its movies it doesn't overcome the humor that contains this movie of PENA MAXIMA. I like like they develop the topic with the death of the uncle of the two brothers(Enrique Carriazo and Robinson Díaz) that prevents them to attend the stadium to see the soccer game. If you look for a good form of having a good time attending the cinema, this it is a very good opportunity.
