This is for sure one of the worst Brazilian movies I've seen latterly! The plot is weak and the acting too! The main characters are a small group of friends that just want to have fun and screw everything up, as they represent the typical jackass middle-class boys who just like to screw around. They don't create any sympathy in the viewer, as they are so stupid and unfunny!
To reinforce this position, the movie has a few scenes, making fun of the minorities and of retarded people that weren't funny but quite annoying instead! One of them is with one retarded black kid who's scared to death by one of those assholes (probably the worst of them). The other one is with the Portuguese emigrant. I know that in Brazil there's a bad and stereotyped image about Portuguese emigrants but even so I didn't like to hear the jackass say: "if I were president of this country I would put every Portuguese in a boat and would send them back to Portugal, because you are like that, dirty, smelling bad
"! Great! That's fine, but let me remember one thing my friend (I'm talking to every Brazilian assholes that think like this one, and I know there're a lot!): These days there're much more Brazilians going to Portugal than Portuguese going to Brazil (I'm talking about emigrants, not about tourists) and it is also very easy to create a stereotyped image of Brazilian people that arrive in our country, because if I generalize I can also say that the majority of women come to Portugal to work on prostitution and men to play football (most of them in secondary leagues)! So, as you can see, it is very easy to create stereotypes and have xenophobic and intolerant attitudes! Let's just not follow this way, OK?
I know this movie shall be taken as a critic to Brazilian society but even so I think this film is bad, because this social criticism is terribly done. It is much worse than in other Brazilian films I've seen recently (and I've seen some
). It was a terrible waste of time!
