Carnaval

It's just a simple story about instagram influencer learned about the real meaning of life, that it's not just about getting likes and gaining followers, but about friendship and courage. Yup, just that. Nothing special but is quite entertaining. The plot was generic, predictable in many ways and you obviously know how its ended.

Correcting one review here: The film is not set at "El Salvador" country but the city of Salvador in Brazil.

This is a Tourism promotion movie for Bahia with a very cheesy, lame story and bad acting.

Skip it.

I stumbled upon the 2021 comedy "Carnaval" by random chance here in 2021. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to sit down and watch what director Leandro Neri had to offer with this comedy.

Having sat through it, I must admit that I feel that I wasn't exactly the target audience for "Carnaval", with me being a 46 year old man at the time of watching the movie. Nay, "Carnaval" felt more like it was a movie aimed for a female audience in their late 20s or early 30s, I suppose. So there wasn't much particular entertainment in "Carnaval" for me.

And for a comedy of this type, I feel that writers Lipy Adler, Audemir Leuzinger, Luisa Mascarenhas and Leandro Neri just played it safe and utilized every trope already seen in other comedies of this particular kind. So "Carnaval" didn't bring anything new to the comedy genre. In fact, the storyline was rather mundane and generic to me.

The acting performances in "Carnaval" were fair. I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress in the movie, but I think that they did perform well enough, given the limitations of the script and storyline.

Ultimately, then I made it through "Carnaval", but it is not a movie that I enjoyed, nor is it a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.

My rating of "Carnval" lands on a generous four out of ten stars, as the movie had some nice enough things to it, despite it failing on the comedy aspect.

Influencer figure it out the life...life is not only about followers e stuff...is about friendship blah blah blah my rating is because shows my hometown.
