Más que hermanos

There are very films in the world which are worse than this underdevelopped garbage from Panama, seeming a soap opera full of clichés, oscilating between the most shallow and gratuitous extreme melodrama and the most sugary brainless romantic comedy (the professor is the worst of all, indeed). The very beginning, with the children, seemed a little amateur production but with potential to follow a promising path. However, all that has been abandoned (where the hell is the homeless guy who speaks English?!) in favor of even flatter narrative decisions. It is laughable, but, above all, too annoying. The entire structure is the one of a bad soap opera, both in the happy and in the tragic moments. Nothing makes sense, not a single element of the stoey has a proper development. I am still baffled by Canal Brasil having chosen this Z-film for its Foreign Film Festival, which always selects great awarded movies from all over the world.
