O Palestrante

Fábio Porchat and Paulo Gustavo have a different vibe when it comes to comedy (or they did, I miss them). They both manage to do something natural, fun, exaggerated and sometimes embarrassing, but all in a pleasant and welcoming way. The entire supporting cast helps a lot. It's a light and delightful comedy to watch. Nothing too exaggerated, but sometimes over the top, but the naturalness and simplicity are charming... Fun, friendly and adorable...

Accountant Guilherme ends up unknowingly taking on the role of motivational speaker at the company where he works. He needs to cheer up all the employees. But maybe he also needs to give his own life a lift.

The first half of this film starred by Fábio Porchat is surprisingly very funny. I laughed loud, and I had not expected that. Letícia Lima, Ernani Moraes and Evandro Mesquita's scenes are hilarious. Unfortunately, in the second half, when it turns to be a romantic comedy, average level of humour becomes quite tepid, with ups and downs (and, of course, nothing could be a worse down than including infamous Danilo Gentili in the casting). To resume, the film is far from the disaster bad average rating suggests, and it does have excellent moments, but its decreasing quality frustrates after initial change in expectation.
