Funny social satire, 29 June 2001
10/10
Author: HoMordomo from Brazil

This comedy, the first from a promising Brazilian talent, is better than one would expect. That is, if one has read about the film: that it was shot on a low budget, that it's the feature film debut for its director, and that the comedy situations are not all that original.

While all the above may be true, this is one funny film. It also is a biting satire of Brazilian society, particularly that of the capital, Brasilia, corruption, even the ubiquitous Brazilian craze with football & "their" Queen Silvia of Sweden (of Brazilian origin); not to mention the illustration the rift between the upper and lower classes for a couple of generations.

Since the director has family and social ties with important Brazilian actors and actresses, well-known actors appear in the principal roles, in spite of the limited budget. Their performances are outstanding. All in all, this is a funny film; a film which also says a lot about the current state of Brazilian society.
