Os Farofeiros

Very silly movie that'll probably please older people who are not tired of listening the same joke over and over again. Speaking of "tired", that's how I would define the attempt of humor made in this movie. The plot doesn't exist. People from different walks of life travelling together and from there a lot of "funny" situations take place. The acting is not natural, the jokes are delivered in a such a "robotic" way that you can see them coming. In order to pretend it has a teeny tiny bit of depth, there's a silly situation that is supposed to be dramatic or emotional, but it's more cliché than you can imagine. A complete waste of time.

I'm brazilian, and I don't usually like Brazilian films. But this film came out of the stereotype that I am used to see in our soap operas and our films of the genre. Although I did not like some performances, I found the film very well thought out, with scenes that are part of the life of all brazilians who have already rented a super house on the beach, and when they got there they saw that it was nothing like that. Great laughs. Worth it.

The shouting in the first scenes of dialogue, as well as the dramaturgy of soap operas on the Globo network, prevented me from proceeding with the film.
