Cabras da Peste

I could not get through 20 minutes of this piece of $hit. Maybe it got better; proceed at your own risk.

If you naturally spoke Portuguese, the movie might be good.

The version that I saw has the dubbed English as if is English was ESL, specifically Oriental. Imagine that -- a Latino movie with East Asian English speech. Moreover, the speech & mouth movement is way off.

A parody of a zillion Hollywood buddy cop movies, with many Brazilian references that I find almost impossible to understand if you don't know the culture. Ex. The song sung at the funeral is funny in itself because its original version is very happy and seen in this context is ridiculously hilarious.

What was that? How this has 6.3 Imdb? I can't even imagine this. It was something that you could see in 2000s' and it would be maximum 6/10. In nowadays drop this to us it's just an insult. Acting was terrible, plot didn't make sense, special effects were hideous. First time seeing such boring acting and lack of identity in movie. Daddy jokes didn't add value to this. If this would be parody of movie then yeah, I might give it a 5 but now it's just terrible. Netflix has to stop adding such low quality movies. Don't watch it.

I had never heard about this 2021 Portuguese action crime comedy from writers Vitor Brandt and Denis Nielsen prior to now in 2022 as I had the opportunity to sit down and watch it. I wasn't sure what I was in for, but I have to say that the movie's synopsis definitely sounded like this movie could be entertaining.

And I will say that director Vitor Brandt managed to deliver not only an entertaining movie, but also a very enjoyable and funny movie here with "Cabras da Peste" (aka "Get the Goat"). I was genuinely entertained by the storyline and the comedy throughout the course of the 97 minutes that the movie ran for. A good amount of laughs to be enjoyed here, in addition to an actually nice storyline and colorful characters.

"Cabras da Peste" definitely felt like something in the likes of "Beverly Hills Cop", heck it even had the music as well, as well as movies such as "Tango & Cash" and "Rush Hour". So if you enjoyed action movies of that type, laced with comedy, then you will also like "Cabras da Peste".

The character gallery in "Cabras da Peste" was good, and very nicely detailed and written. I loved the name of Edmilson Filho's character, which was Bruceuilis, as well as the names of his family members. That was just hilarious.

"Cabras da Peste" is quite enjoyable, and if you get the chance to watch it, I say go for it, because it was well-worth the time and effort.

My rating of "Cabras da Peste" lands on a six out of ten stars.

A crazy Brazilian comedy, half parody, half buddy movie, full of references from American films.

A bit heavy for my taste but can be seen without the fuss.
