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.

How to Deal with a Heartbreak
Sequel to the successful Peruvian romantic comedy "Soltera codiciada" from 2018. In How to Deal with a Heartbreak, we pick up the story of María Fe (Gisela Ponce de León), who seems to be going through her best moment... until the pandemic arrives. Struggling with creative block but committed to writing a second book for a publisher, she faces an existential crisis in the worst possible way. This sequel is interesting because it takes into consideration how the pandemic affected an entire generation both professionally and economically. However, the narrative isn't as effective as the first one, as it tends to get lost in unnecessary detours and twists. You'll enjoy it if you liked the original.
