Please, Don't think it's a Brazilian cinema masterpiece

Well, well. Brazilian movie industry is in full swing again. But it still does some piece of crap. And I can tell you that this movie is an example. This is a 'soap opera-like' movie. Silly plot, corny jokes, a great deal of cliché. And that's it. The movie tries to be funny, but, of course, it isn't. It tries to be philosophical, and it fails again. If there's something worth seeing in this movie, it is Caco Ciocler (tha Arabian guy) which performs a delighting role. He is, that's for sure, one of the most talented actors in Brazilian's new generation. That's it, a silly movie deserves a short and shallow comment. If you like good movies, don't waste your time watching this. And don't think this is a typical Brazilian film. We've got better things. You bet.
