This is not the best Portuguese movie ever made. And definitely not even a good movie. So what is all the fuss about? First, this was made for Portuguese audiences. It is a Portuguese story, the actors are known faces from television, the music can be heard in the radio. And with the help of a television network, a lot of publicity was made about it. Unfortunately, not for a good cause.
The story runs around the new priest in town, and how he falls into the temptations around him, becoming one of those he thought he would never be. But the adaptation of the 19th century novel does an effort to be "modern" and "cool", adding rap, street gangs, hungry news reporters and mafia-like businesses to the screenplay. And too much naked bodies.
And then unnecessary secondary stories take too much time from the primary action, so prepare for a really fast ending. Maybe that's good, you can go home earlier than you thought!!

How is it possible to be proud of this film after finishing it? How is it possible to participate in this movie and still want to be respected as a writer, director or actor? How is even possible to finance it or broadcast it and, worst of all, watch it? I have no idea, but answering the last question, I only did it to see if it would get worse...
I didn't laugh once watching the nerd's revenge, I pay to see someone laughing at the lamest jokes I've ever seen. Bad actors, bad plot, bad sketches... The only good thing was the end!
My vote: somewhere under zero.
