Uga Uga

"Uga Uga" is a blast of fun! It is High Camp at its best, and you don't need to know Portuguese or Spanish to appreciate the humor (all the (literally) half-naked men!). I have fun just trying to figure out why the characters are doing what they're doing. Why is the pretty girl dressed in a wedding gown, running after the cute guy in the glasses? Why is the Scientist running around with very little clothes on, and why does he appear to be psychic? All this and much more await you in "Uga Uga". Don't miss it!

Who said that a soap-opera must be dramatic? In this Brasilian soap, one can not stop laughing all the way!! Good script, good acting and... good girls. It's the confirmation of the new blood of the Brasilian actors and i think that we will hear soon about Mariana Ximenes,Ângelo Paes Leme, Danielle Winits and Nívea Steinmann. Watch out the nonsense jokes of characters like dona Pierina(played by veteran Nair Bello) and Nikos Karabastos( played by the Brazilian living-legend Lima Duarte).Truly unmissable!!

I discovered this series by accident one day the first time it was aired. I was intrigued by the "native tribe" I was seeing. Though I consider myself to be fluent in Spanish (from Honduras), I think the series was dubbed in Venezuelan Spanish, which I have found to be virtually unintelligible to a Central American speaker.

But I watched it every day and came to understand much of the plot. I have never seen a series at times so ribald, so ridiculously funny, and so dedicated to showing off near-naked male bodies! The near-nudity was at times gratuitous, which made it even funnier.

I loved the antics of Bernardo and Casimiro and their respective lady friends, and of their mother Dona Pirina, who was prone to hiding their clothing when they took showers. And just about everything to do with the "tribe" was hilarious, beginning with the necessity of swimming underground to get to their village!

All the comments have been so right! The show is awesome! Funny, mysterious, absorbing! You do not need to understand the dubbed Spanish of this Brazilian soap to appreciate the actions of the characters. Much old and new talent blend together to keep you coming back to next episodes for more! Though Claudio Heinrich, Humberto Martins, and Lima Duarte steal the show, all of the actors shine through becoming special and beloved! Take a break, sit through an episode or two, and you'll become a fan too!

I saw this soap opera twice, the first time it was aired and then the rerun, I could see it again, it was just that funny! First I loved the cast and the characters, then the story, then I cried, then I laughed, I almost went crazy... trying to figure it out when the behavior of some people just didn't make sense, but for the story's sake, some things needed not to have a full explanation... It was fun, though. I love soap operas with a huge amount of characters, they will keep the story always fresh, the only problem is, when you see it dubbed, you get so used to this people's voices that when you see the same actors again in a different soap, with different voice overs, you feel kinda weird...
