Minha Mãe é uma Peça: O Filme

It's been a while since I last saw a Brazilian comedy. The fact is that most of comedies in my country just don't add up, they are just generic Globo TV "quality" formulas that are simply awful!! By word of mouth I decided to ignore my skepticism, take a deep breath and check this one out, and guess what? I had fun! I mean... I didn't watch the most brilliant comedy of my life, and it's still pretty generic, but it was better than most comedies that comes out in Brazil! There are flaws, and situations that just makes you cringe, but in general terms, I laughed, I had a good time with it.

It's the kind of movie that illustrates the everyday problematic Brazilian family, there are stereotypes of Brazilian people in every direction you look at. So yeah, that's why I let that one pass. I could easily identify some very regular situations that I already seen around in my city with other families and I have to admit, the characters were mostly very likable, specially the mother! So yeah, it's a nice Brazilian comedy. Again, you won't have the laugher of your life, but you'll still have a good time with your friends and relatives.

Despite the problematic humor at some moments, it's definitely a classic, and brings reflections on so many important topics, mainly focusing on the complexity of families.

Honestly, I am very critical about comedy movies, especially Brazilian's ones, which are always full of jargon and clichés. This adaptation of Paulo Gustavo is excellent. Outstanding ! Is perfect his representation of his own mother, based in real stories, experienced by him. Paul's impeccable performance, as well as, Rodrigo Pandolfo and Mariana Xavier. Weak point was the performance of Ingrid Guimarães and Herson Capri, perhaps by their poor script that could have a little more spice ... lacked just that for me. Excellent, as everyone in the theater with me, we recognize some of our mothers this crazy and cute Mrs Herminia. I have expectation for a sequence. For me, the best Brazilian comedy until now. Ps.: Do not forget to see the final credits, there is a surprise!!

This is a very good movie but it has ton's of bad words I would rate this 12+ or 14+

Incredible to see a family, specially "kids" being raised completely without limits or any trace of sanity and find that funny. I felt sorry for the sons and daughter being portrait in the movie and the actor's voice is just annoying beyond any description. Maybe a woman would do the role of a woman better, just saying. Don't recommend at all.
