Going to Brazil

The young and pregnant french girl, Katja, has found her luck in colorful Brasil. She is going to marry a wealthy young man, a son of a rich businessman with strong relations to power and politics. She has invited three of her best friends from good old Europe, to join her wedding party. Unfortunately, they didn't join her Bachelorette-Party ... but still a party ... and as french girls are, they did enjoy it perhaps a bit to much, because one has sex, another doesn't have sex ... well in the end there is one man down.

And then, they meet Katja and her new built live, which they are going to spoil immediately ...

What a waste of time. This movie is mocking Brazil and Brazilians from the very beginning. Even the stereotypes don't match. Can't believe it's supposed to be a comedy.

In recent film history most will remember Hangover as a blueprint for some movies that came after it. But there always seems to have been a before to many things. In this case there was a movie called Very Bad Things, with a very stellar cast I might add. And this seems to take this on the female level ... and in french (well in Brazil, but a French version of it is what I mean).

Now mentioning those movies should give you an idea where and what this is aiming for. I'm pretty sure the trailer will aim in a similar direction, although it may make it look a lot more action based than it is. There are some incredible action scenes and stunts, but this is first and foremost an exhibition in comedy. Extreme comedy with gross (yet funny?) consequences for those involved. Moral issues aside (don't start that game, it's not going to be fun), this is entertaining and does what it is supposed to do
