Christmas Full of Grace (Um Natal Cheio de Graça) is a Brazilian comedy movie starring Gkay, Sergio Malheiros and Vera Fischer. It is directed by Pedro Antonio.
Do you know those movies that are easy, and that seem to be produced in an assembly line, with irritating characters that are meant to be comedic, and a storyline that is all too predictable? Well, ‘Christmas Full of Grace’ one such movie.
Premise
After discovering a betrayal, Carlinhos takes a fun stranger to accompany him on Christmas. But Graça proves to be a madwoman capable of bringing the traditional family home down.
Movie Review
An easy, silly, “feel-good” comedy of errors that uses the classic narrative structure and the traditional celebration as an excuse to produce the movie. The characters are profiled by and anchored to clichés, with traditional problems, and that cope with them in a traditional way. There is a lot of slapstick and overacting.
