The Secret Diary of an Exchange Student

It is cute but as an former aupair it really annoyed me , like I had to pay 5,000 for the program (they repay you some at the end of the program) , you still have to go through the visa interview , you have to speak English and there is no way someone with no kids could enroll to it (creepy) neither ask the aupair to do house work or work longer hours (unless it is a deal to pay overtime) I remembered I worked 9 to 5 or 4 and the weekends were off. You also don't pick where you are going and you gotta go to a training first (I was a week in NY with girls from around the world before I went to my family's town) and they pick you up at the airport of course....

I had zero expectations before watching the movie, and I caught myself laughing so hard from the begging till the end. The costar Thati Lopes was outstanding. I highly recommend it if you are looking for something fun to watch.

I enjoyed this movie a lot. I went with no expectations and was very surprised with the soundtrack, the storyline, and the scenery. The girls are so funny and lovable. Their lives as au pairs and exchange students in the United States were riveting and a joy to follow. There are surprise twists and an emotional ending. It is a very charming and entertaining movie.

The movie shows the challenges and surprises of living and studying abroad. The characters are fun to watch, and their interaction is compelling. I highly recommend this movie as a tale of a joyful adventure in foreign lands, both physical and metaphorically.

This movie was crazy i loved it. Are all Brazilian movies like this?

This film feels like they made the script by copying the book verbatim and then to make it fit the necessary runtime cut any scenes that were not strictly necessary. This makes the movie continuously feel disjointed due to many jumps in time without proper signalling, lots of non-sequiturs and many seemingly illogical things happening. The movie is a bit hard to watch because of this, especially because the Portuguese is already quite intense to listen to. However, the main characters put a lot of energy in and especially the girl playing Barbara is very charming. People with high standards should ignore this movie, but anyone willing to sit through all the Portuguese and just want to watch something silly and uncomplicated for a while will have a decent time with it.
