Why watch this film?
Following in the footsteps of 'Chorar de Rir', a comedy starring Leandro Hassum, 'Os Espetaculares' makes you laugh to talk about laughter. In the case of this production by André Pellenz ('Detetives do Prédio Azul' and 'Gosto se Discute'), more specifically, about stand-up. For this, the viewer is invited to enter the life of a comedian (Paulo Mathias Jr.) who tries his luck on the comedy stages. His life takes a turn, especially when he enters a stand-up competition as a trio -- alongside Rafael Portugal (from 'Porta dos Fundos) and Luísa Périssé (from 'Zorra'). Even though the humor doesn't quite work in all the desired moments, it's fun to follow the journey of this character typical of humor. It's worth it for the fun and the sympathetic message at the end.

New Beginnings
Alain and Diane have been together for 30 years. In his mind, Alain is still 30 years old. But the equation 30 years of routine feelings, empty nest (and incidentally a job where being 50 is like an incurable disease) creates a much less euphoric effect for Diane. She oscillates between depression and free fall - and the first one who says “hormonal” she smokes. Alain loves Diane like crazy and love is proof. He’s going to do something crazy for her, something to make her feel vital again, to make her heart beat and youthfulness pulsate. The crazy thing? Leave her. The risk with electroshock ? Unknown: either it wakes up or it burns. They will take it, with their eyes closed.

Mother of the Bride
