This is a fun light-hearted comedy, with magnificent views of Brazil and subtle comic performances. It captures that early eighties feel well. And broaches the subject of a teenage temptress more honestly than the recent version of Lolita.
I can only think that this movie was out of time. probably from a gentler age, but it still hits the mark with me, even watching it now.
