Minha Mãe é uma Peça: O Filme

The worst comedy I have ever seen. I didn't watch the whole movie because it's really bad stuff. Too many stereotypes and poor roles.

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.

In Niterói, the middle-class housewife Dona Hermínia (Paulo Gustavo) lives with her teenage son Juliano (Rodrigo Pandolfo), who is gay, and her teenage daughter Marcelina (Mariana Xavier), who is obese. Her husband Carlos Alberto (Herson Capri) has left her to live with a younger woman, the bimbo Soraia (Ingrid Guimarães). When Carlos Alberto and Soraia go to the club with Juliano and Marcelina in his sport car, Dona Hermínia overhears the "children" making fun of her and she decides to take a time out alone in the house of her aunt Zélia (Suely Franco) to calm down. Along the days, Dona Hermínia misses Juliano and Marcelina and tells stories of her life to Zélia. Meanwhile the siblings feel how much they need her at home.

"Minha Mãe é Uma Peça" is a gross, corny but also funny comedy based on a successful play in Brazil. Although fictional, the plot is based on situations in Paulo Gustavo's live and the character Dona Hermínia is based on his own mother, Dona Déia. The funniest moment of this movie is in the credits, when there is a cameo of Dona Déia in a home footage. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Minha Mãe é Uma Peça" ("My Mother is a Piece of Work")

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

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!!
