Amor Sem Medida

I loved this movie. Juliana Paes is amazing, tremendous actress. Looks like a young Sophia Loren. Truly refreshing We saw this movie twice. Second time at Thanksgiving with a lot of people from different countries. Everybody enjoyed.

Obviously better if you understand Portuguese and Brazilian cultural sayings. Everyone laughed out loud Leandro Hussam is also funny. The script absurd but entertaining. Have to understand the double meaning of sentences, for example the reference to Xuxa. I recommend this movie. No crime, no shootings, no blood, no violence. Adding all stereotypes on the table. In summary very enjoyable.

What you really want to watch that has all the charm this movie doesn't (and this movie just manages to copy and mess up the whole vibe) is called."UP FOR LOVE"... Trust me, you will absolutely adore the French original that is in English (at least the version I watched) instead of this. The movie (Up for Love) that shows a perfect gentleman/father with class. I get so tired of movies protraying men in a negative light, but "Up for Love" just hits on all cylinders.

I really liked it, I love Leandro Hassum and Juliana Paes, but the lack of a real short person is really explicit not that it was horrible but if it had been a real short person it would have been 100% and I would have given 10, and beyond but these jokes in the movie are boring, boring and even dull, but I would say you can watch it if you don't have high expectations or if it's a movie for you to watch on Sunday after lunch.

The main idea for the script is kinda good if you think we are bringing to light prejudice and stereotypes we may carry even if we assume we are open minded. But, considering it is a remake from a recently Argentinean movie and the silly interpretation of Hassum that is not new, Hassum is just copying american way of doing cinema, this movie only serves as entertainment for Brazilian audience and nothing else. It is a pitty he, after some great hits cannot go further and beyond being more creative at Netflix. He should consider make a movie about his life, about why he decided to become thin.

Speaking as a short male, i was quickly disappointed, having not known too much about the cast prior to watching this film, when i noticed that a lot of the scenes seemed off with their perspectives. I paused the film, and quickly did some searching and came to realize that the actor in the lead role, was of a relatively normal size... not saying anything bad about his acting, he did bring a charismatic flair to the role... however, this isn't Jerry Lewis in the 1950s churning out another kooky offering... they could have cast a perfectly suitable short male actor in this role... and perhaps delved a bit more into the more trying aspects of being short, instead of switching the gears and hamming it up as short person shenanigans...
