Especial de Natal: Se Beber, Não Ceie

A fun movie about the 'last supper'. If only more movies could be made showing how all religions should be laughed at then the world would be a nicer place. People take religion so serious and it's a real shame. Lighten up!

The film takes place the morning after the Last Supper, and flashes back to the night before. I thought they spent the right amount of time between both without being confusing or gratuitous. The story flowed, things pieced together logically, and more than a dozen characters were portrayed as real people and developed pretty well in such a short amount of time -- I was genuinely surprised that 40 minutes had passed the first time I watched it. The humor ranges from juvenile to raunchy to highbrow, and you'll probably catch more jokes if you've seen "The Hangover" or you're already familiar with Porta dos Fundos. Heads up to those who aren't fluent in Portuguese or don't like subtitles, because the dialogue does go pretty fast sometimes.

If you aren't offended by Gore Vidal or movies like "Life of Brian" or "Dogma," you'll likely be entertained with one viewing. But it also has details to find with multiple viewings for people who like that kind of thing, and subtext to discuss, such as literally taking someone's word as gospel (and not just the bit with Diego). I thought Jesus was a bit more of a jerk than necessary, but overall I've enjoyed it enough to have watched it more than once.

Watched this completely out of the blue and, once I got up to speed, I just couldn't stop laughing. You have to be quick to read the subtitles but what a treat!

Extremely snappy (you've got to be quick with the subtitles), almost constantly hilarious and wonderfully irreverent satire on the last supper. It's forty-four minutes long and I don't want to spoil any of the gags by describing them, but there are plenty of individual set-pieces, such as the contest between Jesus and a conjuror and the commemorative painting; and running gags such as the tiger in the toilet and the James that no one likes.

Funny film albeit subtitled. IMO I definitely enjoyed watching Good characters, story line, was fun watching this.
