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.

Comedy
Killer Babes
Three girlfriends, neglected and mistreated by their husbands, plan to take revenge on them with the help of an experienced man in this type of job.
Technoboys
Technoboys is a Mexican comedy co-directed by Gerardo Gatica and its lead actor, Luis Gerardo Méndez, who reunites with his iconic co-star from We are the Nobles, Karla Souza (Dive). The plot follows a former member of a Mexican boy band who tries to bring his bandmates back together to reclaim the glory from 20 years ago and perhaps heal some old wounds. However, the music industry has changed, and they are way out of style and quite different now. Despite some ups and downs, this is a fun movie about learning to leave behind a past we may have idealized and embracing both changes and differences. With a cast featuring big names in Mexican acting like Mónica del Carmen, and the participation of Daniela Vega (A Fantastic Woman), it's a journey through 90s nostalgia, with Luis Gerardo Méndez delivering another one of his humorous performances.
